adhesive for tiling on top of tiles etc
Hi, I want to tile (using mosaic glass tiles) on top of old ceramic tiles. What kind of adhesive will be best? Would you recommend that I try and provide a 'key' on the old ones (by sanding or something like that)? I'd be grateful for any tips.

Re: adhesive for tiling on top of tiles etc
Thanks. Can I buy this in the usual diy chains? Also what do you think about making the surface better by sanding it a bit? No alternative to tiling over - have tried to remove old tiles, but they are on thin board (plaster board, but very thin) and removel leaves great big holes in the wall.
Thanks again for your advice.

you would be better just ripping the lot out and re boarding,plasterboard isnt expensive
