Mirrored tiles on existing tiles ?

[Tooljunkie]

Hi guys,
A customer has asked me to tile mirrored border tiles onto existing border tiles, the existing tiles are sound and have a slight raised pattern on them. The mirrored tiles are about 8mm thick and have a smooth black backing.
Any advice on what adhesive and the best way to cut them would be greatly appriciated.

I would contact the supplier of the tiles and see what addy they recommend, Just to be on the safe side, I've used a rubi on some glass others have to be on a wet cutter and wear gloves those little shars of glass can be a bugger to dig out your fingers

Just use mirror adhesive.......comes in a tube..............you will get it in many diy stores/builders merchants.....

I did once Dave and it burnt through the backing, The company paid for the replacment of the glass borders

Mirror adhesive is none acetate based so should not burn through....if they were just glass tiles then a different adhesive is needed....mirror tiles are fine.....but the painted surface glass tiles can be tricky.....

Bal mosaic fix would be a good choice (or bal easypoxy if the mirror paint on the back is affected by water).

Off the record white star would be fine as well as long as you leave it a good 24-48 hours before grouting. The good thing about bal adhesives, is theyre so good, that you can use them in completly the wrong situation, and they still work.
