packing out mosaic borders

[DHTiling]

Same method as Phil for me.. dead easy and spot on every time .🙂

This is one way using adhesive

nice one, I thought it was you that had the pics Phil but for one reason my last post needed mods approval so it appeared after you posted!!

The thread was in the guest area, that's why all the posts needed manually approving, I've moved it to the tiling forum now so all should be well.

someone had a good step by step set of pics showing this, think it may have been @Phil Hobson but can't remember....

Cheers Pete I did put a few on, but I can't find them. The one I put on is vertical but same idea, must get my old pics sorted.

always use same method as Phil too

I put one on a while back:

Aaaah - summer tiling, miss it so much

I've used this method in recent months, just out of interest, do you let the base spread of adhesive set then put a thin layer on before the mosaics or, put the mosaic straight onto one layer of adhesive? Hope that makes sense!

This is how I do the vertical to keep the gap and as Phil does with the gauge

 

[macten]

I add a couple of mm to the mosaic thickness on the dog tooth and let it dry and trowel normally.
When it's been a narrow feature border (trowel wont fit) then I I take a couple of mm off the mosaic thickness on the dog tooth and pad in whilst wet.

I do Bri, I let the rapid set go off then spread the adhesive allowing for a thin bed for the mosaic as Nick and Mark. I have put loads of pics on here, but can't find them atm.
