cse grade 4 in maths 1980 !

rest my case.

anyhow back to topic.
 
I remember the only clear glass mosaic I fixed were paper faced, if they were meshed backed then can't see how it's going to be invisible/covered.
 
Most likely a manufacturing fault. As mentioned, If there is clear glass (see through) I can't see how any kind, Quantity or colour of adhesive is going to hide this. The mesh is stuck to the back of mosaic tiles so it's not like the adhesive is going to get between the mosaic and the meshing.
Considering the meshing behind the tile is white, Try and mix some white grout and apply it behind the clear glass mosaic. See if it's less visible!
 
One time I had black mosaic to tile swimming pool and I had to use white BALL mosaic Adhesive , So what I did was I dyed my Adhesive by cement dyed in black. Works ! 🙂 with black grout 🙂

Thanks. I am having the manufactures rep come by and take a look before we grout the rest. We dd try a test sheet with standard white grout. You could still see through it from the sides. :yikes:
 
You can not see through the grout -- you can see the mesh through the edge of the tile. It's crazy... Can't be the only person this had happened to. My tile installer is very experience and he is flummoxed!
 
The grout is translucent but not transparent. You can not see through the diamond grout. The mesh is showing through the top edge of the tile. It was the same when we did a test sheet using standard white grout. Ugh!
