Hi all
I plan on using a 300mm wide strip of mosaic (the kind on a webbing backing), half way up the wall. It occurs to me that the tiles above may compress them and everything might slip and become misaligned. Is this a concert and if so, how can I address the issue?

Hi all. Is there a knack to minimise adhesive coming through the gaps between small mosaic tiles when applying them to the wall?
