    Deffo mosaicfix for me as well, depending on if the tiles are coloured and how they are coloured. Some glass tiles need a different type of adhesive.

    if using mosaicfix, make sure you back skim each tile to avoid seeing notch lines through the tile.

    Are they coloured glass or is there a backing on the back of the tile ?

    is it just my imagination or is it always a women involved when you turn up to a house to see boxes of glass tiles staring back at you?

    I turned up to tile a kitchen splashback once and i was told "they are just 100mm ceramic tiles" Turned out to be Porcelain 100mm !!! "But we bought them from CTD " Ceramic Tile Distributor"

    Luckily CTD were just around the corner and i could get right adhesive.
