Hi everyone, I have been following this forum with a lot of interest and need some advice please.
I have a kitchen splash to do tomorrow and the customer has just rang me to say they want charcoal grout now instead of white.
I normally use Bal mosaic fix, but as some of the mosaics are dark glass, with the remainder being metal, I wonder if there is a dark adhesive suitable for this?
I worry about being able to see through the glass and seeing white adhesive.
The tiles are expensive, so I don't want to make any mistakes.
I have an account with Tops and CTD so would prefer to source from there.
Your thoughts are much appreciated.
Regards
James

They do mosaic fix in grey aka max flex fibre grey Only comes in 20kg bags

Or you could use epoxy ag in grey another good product for glass.

Thanks for the replies, much appreciated !
The job went well and the customer is happy !
I ended up using the same adhesive that I always use for mosaics, bal Mosaic fix. But now it has a different name and I could be wrong ,but it’s not as nice to work with as the old stuff.
Seems I was worrying about nothing !
The glass pieces were foil backed, so the white addy didn’t show through.
Best to you all

The white addy wouldve improved the colour, grey wouldve killed it, even black mosaics.

Thanks miss Tiler. As I have only ever used white Mosaic fix on glass mosaics, I have yet to discover that. I will remember this info and just carry on as before.
