Use a white adhesive. Use a montolit cutter with a mosaic mat to snap them. If you need to cut with a grinder use a variable speed one with a blade suitable for glass. Montolit do one. As its a small area the metal ones can be cut seperately if necessary . Also instead of using tile trim why not use the rectangles to create a frame and cut into that? looks much nicer. I did the same with these Fired Earth mosaics.

Thanks very much for your help, what colour of grout do you think would look best on the mosaics I’ve picked?

That goes really well with the kitchen worktop. Like it a lot. I’m intrigued, what did you do round the external corner?

Ball Micromax 2 Gunmetal as it’s goes with every tile ever made

seriously though, I’d go for a light Grey

Going by the pic Id go for a very pale grey or an off white. Definately not white.

Wee update on splash back, eventually got round to starting it today, just to cut some bits to fit into the ends then grout. Went with no trim and I’ll just grout around the edge also

Tiles finally done with tile master grout 3000. Just to run a small bead of silicone along the bottom meeting the sink.

Do I need to treat the grout with a sealer?

White stone mosaic has absorbed a little colour from the grout, are there any way to get the colour back to being white? If not, it’s not a huge deal

Suitable product for sealing the grout or bringing the white stone mosaic back to white?
