preparing painted walls

Try 3 or 4 see what it looks like I'd go more than two for the border

going with three Mike. looks a bit better.

I wanted the mosaics to at be the final height. as in

four rows of field tiles up, then mosaic strip & then either a bull-nose/tile trim.

the dog tooth method to bed the mosaics wouldn't work here would it as there is not a tile both sides to use or would it.. ?

lastly if I went with trim, will a 9mm be ok? ( 8mm tile & mosaic when brought flush )

Ah rite I'm with you now your not doing a full height just half height ye ?? I'd butter the back of the border and use a grouting float tapping it flush as for the trim I've seen things go wrong with trim as technically one of the mosaics is just stuck to the trim and usually in time they start to just come away from the trim but this is only my opinion others may disagree
