Cut glass Mosaic
I have purchased some glass mosaics from Topps (Glitter Brick B/G/S 130049), which I am using for a thin border around a bathroom (4 rows of glass oblongs) each sheet has around 20 rows on so I have no problem cutting them into 4 wide strips. However as each glass oblong is around 1 ˝” they are not going to match wall length exactly so I am going to have to cut some.
So any advice on cutting would be gratefully received, I have a radial tile cutter but am worried about actually holding/clamping in order to cut and whether the diamond blade is suitable for glass as well as ceramic

Re: Cut glass Mosaic
should cut okay hard to judge without seeing them pays to use a new wheel in cutter not to much pressure when scoring and break gentle you may need to put masking tape on the breaker as not to scratch glass hope this helps
