Mosaic Porcelain tiles on a string, I just hate them!! - TilersForums.co.uk | Tile Forums

Hi, My worst nightmare begins tomorrow! I have to tile a bathroom with 400mm x 400mm Mosaic Porcelain tiles on a string background. The weight is just unbelivable. I assume it's a 6mm bed, but is there anyone out there that can give me any tips on how to keep them in place. In the past I have pinned them with nails, to keep them in place and waited before I place the next one on top. It just takes forever to do

. Am I best cutting them with a wet cutter or a dry cutting wheel in the grinder? With all my best attempts to convince the client that mosaics are not the best thing for there bathroom, I failed

Thanks, Jeff
