    For the trim...put some adhesive in 10mm dots on the back of the listello (thats what it sounds like)or metal trim to yourself and place in position. Use a grout float to pad it into position which should be level with the tiles.

    For the glass border..is this the same thickness as the tile?IF NOT PACK IT OUT WITH 6MM CHEAP TILES and then use an adhesive such as Mapei Adesilex p10 which is for glass tiles.

    welcome to the forums...you might want to formely introduce yourself in the new members section.
