    you will struggle to back butter mosaics. Better to use white addy " I recommend Mapei Ultra Mastic Super White"
    First comb a very thin layer on wall with flat edge of trowel and smooth off,
    then trowel with mosaic trowel as normal

    Exactly this but if this glass is clear you can't have any voids in the thin set so after spreading with the mosaic trowel I would again smooth the surface with a flat trowel giving you a smooth bed to install to.Good luck.
