............ , so hopefully the title made sense , i get the part about not overlapping joints and scoring the tiles , what i am struggling with is what to use to stick them on with , do i need to prime etc etc etc , the tiles are mosaic about 40 mm square on a 300 mm sheet , i am only tiling about 500 mm high between wall cabinets and worktops , the tiles i want to tile over are very well laid , solidly fixed etc which i hope is going to give me a good starting point , just need to know what gear to use , last point , i want to use a silver grout if possible , not real sparkly silver , just not quite grey if that makes sense :)

Personally I would want to remove the existing tiles, mosaics need a perfectly flat surface.

The adhesive to use would be a high grab powder addy, even a 2 part.

The mosaics will be floating about because there's no suction from either surface.

No priming and Mapei silver grey grout


i can take the tiles off , i was just trying to save myself some work , if it is false economy then i am happy to remove :)
