glass mosaics

[groucho]

Hi all whts the best way to lay glass mosaics on the floor. Cant use notched trowel I think you will see the ribs through the tiles. so a flat bed of adhesive and pad down with float? how to achieve the same level with the field tiles?
thanks groucho

assuming the field tiles are thicker than the mosaic, lay these first allowing the correct space for the mosaic. cut a piece of wood the width of the space, with two notches the thickness of the mosaic out of it. then screed to required thickness with adhesive and bed in the mosaic.

The tiles should be coloured, if i'm right they are sprayed on the back to colour them....therefore notches on trowel will not show. If you are using as border, and tiles are thicker, cut some thinner wall tiles the width of border and bed them up with rapid to the level reqd.....Gaz:yes:

mosaics are the same thickness with some clear ones in the pattern.
