Just a couple of NOOB questions for you peeps..  .. So i believe the rule is: full tile on top of a work top, unless the customer wants otherwise. If this is the case, do you actually sit the tile on the work top, or do you put a grout line in first..? Also, and where you are cutting into a ceiling line, do you cut that in tight, or do you also put in a grout line..? Many thanks for any help..Kev.. | ||||||||||

I just go from the worktop aswell, just finished a brickbond splashback today, customer would not let me silcone along the benches, said it would spoil her new worktops  , had to just put some grout in and told her it would probably crack, never mind, her choice. | ||||||||||

I've got it in the back of my mind that mosaic fix is good for glass. | ||
