    Looking for a bit of advice on what size of trowel to use for a mosaic laid on the floor. The individual tiles are 50mm square, and porcelain (if that has any bearing on it). The floor is perfectly flat, although it is plywood. I lifted the original floorboards, braced all the joists (450mm...

    Mosaic compression

    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? Thank you
