Sorry if this posted in the worng section, but I have some marble border tiles that I am trying
to use, problem is that the adhesive just push's out of the small gap between the little tiles
and I spent ages trying to get the glue out of all the gaps....at present I am just using plain waterproof
wall tile adhesive (Travis Perkins)
Is there a better adhesive to use for these type ofIMG_1952.jpg tiles that does not ouse out of the small gaps?

They are glass and marble...

You need to dogtooth the area first and then use an S1 adhesive to fix..

This method>>>> Help - how to get a straight mosaic border

You really want to be using a mosaic trowel - these are square notched and don't collapse as much as V notch or curved so less oozing into the joints. That said, it looks like the field tiles are a bit thicker than your border tiles so you need to pad this out first so as to reduce the bed of adhesive you need.
This can be done using cement board or Dog toothing.

Dave beat me to it!

Also use a grout float to gently bed them in flush with the field tiles as this reduces oozing through joints.
Should any addy squeeze through then resist the temptation to clean the joints up straight away as you will end up disturbing them, let the addy go off a fair bit first, then clean them up.

Oh and you want to be using white adhesive

Your dog toothing is better than the one i posted, lol.. phil called in dog earing..

anyway top link mate..

Thanks Lads, went down to Wicks and the closest I could get was Flexible quick drying adhesive (sets in 2 hours) and is white in colour.

Seems to spread like in the pictures in the link that Dave posted and does not ouse out of the gaps like the water proof wall tile adhesive............that was about 2 hours ago, seems to be ok, gave them a gentle wipe over with a damp cloth and I might take off the first lot and refix again using the same method.

Thanks again, and the replies were so quick, had about 4 replies within about 10 mins of posting
