Re: mosaic nightmare !!!!
Have you got pics?
Did you clean joints before grouting?
What adhesive and grout did you use?
What mosaic was it?

Re: mosaic nightmare !!!!
hi there, If it is darker grout lines you are talking about it sounds to me like the adhesive is a darker shade than the grout if this is the case i would say the best way to fix it is to rake the lines out and re-grout. If you have used a ready mixed adhesive it could just be moisture coming through as it would take a long time for it to dry behind glass tiles, a powdered adhesive such as bal mosaic-fix should always be used with glass tiles.
hope this helps
