poor quality mosaic

[Diamond Pool Finishers]

Thanks gooner, I would normally square up the mosaic and often do with paper faced but beleive me some sheets are 10mm out of sq the jobs hard enough as it is without having to straighten up 60 sheets of mosaic i have some pictures i will resize them and add them when i charge my camera

gary these are the same tiles that i did the swimming pool in the JOB OF THE YEAR competition that i only got one vote for ( FIX ) :lol: :yikes: so you can now see the job in different light mate, i might get two vote's now :lol:

It is nice to work with mosaics that just lay perfect, but this is not the norm.
Typically they need some tweeking to get them right.
It is handy that those particular mosaics will have the mesh soften when laid into the mortar.


Just did a lot of mosaic over the holidays and a sheet would often have a twisted piece that needed the lugs (not mesh but poly bonded lugs) cut to set it straight or a chipped one, or a casting defect, etc.
It was annoying, but needed to be done.
All the more challenging as the floor was graded to multiple drains and one doesn't want snakey groutlines over the long runs.

I am always willing to move the mosaic about to get nice work but not 20mm so they are going back to the supplier

You need a west country boy to install them lol

yes same as mate the pool i did in north yorkshire was the same you have to cut every one with a very sharp craft knife and it's a real pain, but we charge a bit more to reflect that!!
