Advice needed for mosaic splash backs

[dynamictiling]

Dynamic, how did you cut around sockets etc ?

Use a Stanley knife to cut all the 'whole' tiles out that work in cuts at the socket. Once you have stuck your sheet on minus the socket tiles, go back and Mark the socket tiles, cut them and stick them.

Yes, I can confirm that the glass has a white backing paper on them, can you link me a suitable adhesive and sealer ?

You need to check with manufacturer/supplier.

Have a look at Mapei, AdesilexP10. Or P9.

Mapei adhesives are readily available in most screwfix stores.

Can anyone advise on best way to cut these small mosaics, I'll cut out the sockets size and I will need to fill in the rest of the socket with the cut mosaics ? Also would I need a centre point as these are for splashbacks around the kitchen?

I use montolit tile and glass nippers.
And I also centred as usual but best to ask @MissTiler.

I use Leponitt glass nippers to cut glass plus Rubi porc nippers to cut stone mosaics and chunky glass etc, also a Montolit cutter with a mosaic mat, plus a grinder with a glass blade.

I'm going to start the tiles at the worktop edge and as these tiles don't have a straight edge is it best to cut them in or cut the sheet down so its level with worktop?
