Discuss what adhesive for dark Mosaics ? in the Tile Adhesive and Grout Advice area at TilersForums.com.

Hi everyone, I have been following this forum with a lot of interest and need some advice please.
I have a kitchen splash to do tomorrow and the customer has just rang me to say they want charcoal grout now instead of white.
I normally use Bal mosaic fix, but as some of the mosaics are dark glass, with the remainder being metal, I wonder if there is a dark adhesive suitable for this?
I worry about being able to see through the glass and seeing white adhesive.
The tiles are expensive, so I don't want to make any mistakes.
I have an account with Tops and CTD so would prefer to source from there.
Your thoughts are much appreciated.
Regards
James
 
Thanks for the replies, much appreciated !
The job went well and the customer is happy !
I ended up using the same adhesive that I always use for mosaics, bal Mosaic fix. But now it has a different name and I could be wrong ,but it’s not as nice to work with as the old stuff.
Seems I was worrying about nothing !
The glass pieces were foil backed, so the white addy didn’t show through.
Best to you all
James
