Cutting Mosaics

[NEALE]

When cutting Mosaics or fixing mosaics, the best way is to use Tile Mesh which is a self adhesive plastic web sheet that when fixed to the back of a sheet of mosaic makes it mor rigid and easy to fiw

interesting more info required

More info, when you have applied the mosaic to the sheet you can cut with wet saw, the mosaics stay fixed to the sheet,i have even had designs cut, at the water jet cutting and it is very good when having to put mosaic borders in as you can cut it and double up, so that you achive the depth you need for the plain tile.

I've seen this, got the link somewhere on my main pc , not in my office right now... drawback though is that it does not discriminate what sticks to it ...

I think Neale is talking about the self-sticky mesh that is available, not a cutter or matt. It's probably a slightly different story for me, I would worry, the fine cuts I do and the resulting glass splinters all over the place, but all dust debris etc would stick to it as well ... though I'd be happy to stand corrected...

Had a look at the Supa Pro - not sure I would use it. Fine if the mosaic tiles were on paper, but if they were on their own mesh, it could buckle with the corners getting caught? It would also be very difficult to adjust the spacing between tiles if necessary.
I have used a very thin piece of ply behind mosaic borders, if I need to build up the depth - its a lot easier!
