    Nice video. Wish you showed how you did the corner. Also, looks like you sat the tile on the counter and still managed to get a bit of a grout line between the countertop and tile. Ive seen some videos where they use spacers.

    Looks great, I’ve never actually laid glass tile before, and I didn’t know you needed a wet saw to cut it. Great tips 🤙🏼

    Great job it looks perfect! I'm about to install the exact same glass mosaic but have consulted a few sources that say for best results to use a thinset mortar made specifically for glass tile. Does it really make a difference?

      Thank you, honestly no, on a kitchen backsplash you will be fine with using mastic

      No, you don’t need any trim if your using peel and stick tile.

    What type / brand of grout did you use? I'm assuming unsanded so as not to scratch glass?

    Looks good in new house with all plumb walls. The angles and measurements (corners) will be the problem

    • @DIYBuilt

      True, this is not a new house though, it’s 47 years old. There was a fire and it had to be gutted and re drywalled

    Its a bit fast and what do you do if you have no wet saw

    • @DIYBuilt
      @DIYBuilt  10 місяців тому +1

      Sorry it was a bit fast. If you have the ability to rent a wet saw, would be an option. I wouldn’t suggest starting a glass tile project without one.

      Is it used to cut the tiles? Could I fit the tiles without cutting them at all?

    What if my backsplash is mirror right now, can I stick mosaic to the mirror?

    • @DIYBuilt
      @DIYBuilt  5 місяців тому

      You should try to remove the mirror if possible howerever you might be able to use a bonding primer over the mirror first. You would have to check with the manufacturer of the primer first.
      I have a video on my channel called “how to tile over tile “
      You could watch that video to see which primer I used.
