I have to agree with other comments, you are an EXCELLENT teacher. Not only is the information detailed, without being over whelming, but you manner of presentation is actually calming. I think I'm ready to give it a try. (Oh, by the way, I'm 71 and this is my first go at tiling.) Thanks for the lesson and the encouragement.

Great video and pace, with good explanations!

Thanks Jody. Very clear instructions....would have loved to see how you cut the indentations for the outlet and the cable hole.

The best explanation that I have found until know. Thank you for your video.

Excellent step by step instruction What a detailed explanation

Searched for hours for a good tutorial on backsplash and I have to say you are an excellent teacher. Keep up the good work

All those old fashioned imperial measurements are doing my head in.

Great video. Did your space your first row off the countertop, or are the tiles touching the countertop?

Is there grout used?

Another option is a laser line, that way you can get rid of that chalk line.

Hi..thanks for the video..when I’m applying the Mosiac tile I’m running into the situation where I have to cut along the length. Is it advisable to cut along the length ? Or should I increase the spacing between tiles and grout it ..

@JodyCybulski

Hi ra gu. I have cut along the length of the tile at the top and bottom rows of tile. It works fine but you should go slowly to prevent glass mosaics from chipping or splitting. You can increase the space between the tiles if you wish, to avoid this but I prefer to use my chosen spacing and stick with it. I would use a sharpie to mark the line and follow it as glass mosaics with backer shift as you push them through the wetsaw. Or you can follow it with an angle grinder. Note that if you have a completely level counter, you can start the first course, one grout width above the counter so your only cutting is up underneath the cabinets where the cut line is somewhat hidden. Have fun

I like your instructions, I just have a question about setting out the electrical outlet. How do you adjust the depth of the outlet to the tile?

I am installing a marble mosaic backspalsh. Sheets are ~12x12 and 4.5lbs each. Do you recommend back buttering the sheet in addition to putting mastic on the wall?

@jodycybulski8530

Hi Glenn. I would not back butter the small tiles. I would just place it in the thinset on the wall. Good luck with your project.

I just bought some mosaic tile similar to yours. The instructions on the tile say to spread the mastic on the wall with a 3/16 x 3/16 trowel, then use the flat side of the trowel to spread the mastic evenly on the wall, and also butter the back of the tile with mastic. Does this make sense to you, to put mastic on the wall and the tile?

@jodycybulski8530

2 жыл бұрын

R Zu, yes you can add the thinset on the back of the tile too. but I would not drive it in too far or it will come through the front of the tile. I would only use the notched side to final spread the thinset on the wall. The flat side won't allow you to place the tile "into" the thinset. as noted in earlier comments use thinset on glass tile. mastic won't dry easily in some cases.

Hi, im starting my very first mosaic tile install on my kitchen backsplash. Just a few noob questions. Is there any particular reason you started on the right , open ended side opposed to the left corner? Also the place im buying tile is pushing a grout with sealer mixed in. Is mastic a better choice for beginner than thinset? I have glass and what looks to be aluminum for my tiles. When you stop for the day, how do you mastic the last pc?

@jodycybulski8530

2 жыл бұрын

Thanks ES. There is no reason that I started on left or right, I just choose the exposed outside to start on and work in to closed corners. grout with sealer is a good idea. Use it carefully some of it dries really fast!. Mastic is not good for glass and you should use thinset for glass. Yes mastic is easier than thinset. its premixed most of the time.

@@jodycybulski8530 We are finished laying in the thinset. It looks fantastic! Its like a big puzzle and wasnt bad at all to cut on my crappy 7" blade wet saw from HD. They were glass and aluminum linear tiles on a mesh mat. I bought a Pearl P4 blade and had no problems at all cutting around 4 outlets and a window sill. I wish i could post a pic. , goes great with our quartz counter tops.

Thank you Jerry, you are absolutely correct. I have just learned that Mastic is not the optimal adhesive for glass. Mastic doesn't completely dry behind glass. One should use Polymer Modified Thinset, which is sand cement and additives. They don't rely on evaporation to cure, but rather a chemical reaction. It is great to learn new things from you Jerry. Thank you.

Jerry J it can be used aslong as the back of the glass is painted to avoid seeing the yellowing and it’s not in a bathroom or floor. It will hold fine once your done grouting and such. Still thinset is preferred

So what will happen if you use this mastic? I have heard to not use mastic with glass, but what are the consequences? It seems this glass has a white backing and the mastic is pure white, so it seems that it wont show thru. Will it pop off the wall?

@JodyCybulski

4 жыл бұрын

@@vapdivrr5656 Thanks, no the tile will not pop off the wall. The mastic is not supposed to be used under glass as they say it will not dry. That is debatable with mosaics that are painted on the back. The water in the mastic will dry slower because the glass seals it. But because of the small size of this mosaic tile it will dry over a slower period of time. If you want the optimal adherent for glass tile use white thinnest, not mastic. There is a good brand called ultralite from mapei that mixes like cream and it great at holding up tiles on the wall. Have fun with your project.

White thinset does not rely on water drying. Thinset sets by chemical reaction and is also much stronger.
