Default Mosaic Tiles

I have just bought some very nice mosaic tiles on a mesh sheet, I have started to try and put them on the wall and I am finding it very difficult to stop them slipping. I think I am using the wrong adhesive is there an easier way to do this? Are there any tools out there to assist me???


Cheers

Mojo

Just the standard tile adhesive you buy from any DIY/tile supply store.

No advice on tile adhesive was offered (I never thought to ask) when I bought the tiles from a well known tile supplier....

You can get this product from any branch of CTD..( might have to be ordered in for next day in some branches....

Use a grout float to pat the mosaics into place and they will not slip then....

Use a damp sponge to wipe any adhesive that squashes through the joints....


Cement based adhesive with good initial adhesion strength and no vertical slip for ceramic tiles.
Applications:
Interior and exterior bonding of ceramic tiles and mosaics of every type on floors, walls and ceilings on conventional substrates (cement renders and screeds, underfloor heating installations, brick walls, blocks walls, gypsum boards).
Also suitable for tile on tile with medium-size tiles (up to 900 cm2) and spot-bonding of insulating materials such as expanded polystyrene, expanded polyurethane, rock and glass wool, Eraclit® (wood-cement panels), sound-deadening panels, etc.
Installation over gypsum based or anhydrite based surfaces is possible after having first applied Primer G, Mapeprim SP or Primer S. Coverage
2-5 kg/m2. Packaging
20 kg bags, 4x5 kg boxes.

Or alternatively you can use BAL mosaic fix also available at CTD if you use a 3mm notched trowel and as Dave said pat the mosaic’s flat with a grout float you should have no problems.

Trust me I’m a tiler
