It would help to see how you cut the openings for electrical outlets.

Those tiles look great. I have the same colour cabinets and white countertops and was looking at replacing backsplash with a similar tile. So now I know what it will look like in my kitchen. Good job.

Is the Mapei type 1 mastic better than using thin-set? Should the first sheet be raised off the counter about 1/8" to allow for a caulk bead? I will be using a 2" hex brushed travertine mosaic from Floor & Decor and they tell me that i have to apply sealer before and after grouting. Is that correct? Thanks for the video... great work.

Great video. Did you use spacers anywhere? Or need to use a sealant caulk? Where the tile meets the granite.

[@AZIMBAYO1]

I didn't use any spacers. I didn't use caulk. But u can used caulk. Make shore its the same color as the grout Thanks For Watching

[@PagingDrSwiss]

Nice

[@truthseeker9416]

I have seen some people using metal edging for the trim. Is it not necessary for this mosaic tile ?

[@chui19801]

Not to burst your bubble but it looks great. The problem I have is that it is backwards. The flat cut of the tiles is supposed to land on the granite or counter top. The missing hexagons in every sheet is supposed to go to the top since you can see it. I am just saying. Other than that, I feel guilty. I love it.

[@maryjomccallister9102]

I did it the same way he did so that the filler pieces are hidden by the small appliances on the counter. Just in case my spacing was a little off.

Can you put a list of everything you used

[@jaskaur2326]

can you add a list of the things you used and how long to leave the grout before wiping

[@InsanelyGhostly]

You are supposed to wait 24 hours before putting grout, he didn’t do that

[@jacklynnmjackson2383]

@@InsanelyGhostly how do you know that

[@Christian-cw9mp]

When you grout, you do a section, and then wipe with a damp sponge in one direction, and one pass, without putting pressure. You dip the sponge in the water and squeeze all the water out, then wipe once in one direction and repeat. If you leave any water in that sponge, it will affect the grout and color and may dig out your grout. This is a first cleaning as you go. Once the grout is hard according to directions, you can use a more wet sponge. You usually do a 3' x 3' area and then do this. In this case, you could do 4' of backsplash, wipe, then 4', then wipe, repeat. This just removes the excess, not the haze.

[@dragonic222ex5]

Nice tiles

[@aaronslagman4211]

What sized notched Trowell would you recommend for those tiles?

[@martinwalker2501]

I can’t tell for sure, but that looks like a 3/8 trowell. You want enough mortar on the wall so that the tiles stick, but not too much that it bleeds through the space in the mosaics. When it does that you’ll have to go through and clean it out so that you have clear grout lines. Hope that helps.

[@douglaswells2739]

Nice work. Is it easier to do the bottom missing tiles at the end or to cut a straight line across a section with the tile saw and install together?

[@AZIMBAYO1]

Its easier to do it how i did it in the video. Because both ways you have to cut the tile. And less tiles get wasted

[@douglaswells2739]

@@AZIMBAYO1 How difficult is it to for example remove white hex tiles from a sheet and insert colored ones and keep the grout spacing? I like that look I've seen before.

[@AZIMBAYO1]

@@douglaswells2739 the tile peaces have to be the same size and same thickness then it will work. And the tile peaces are glued on a mesh backing. Its very easy to remove

What was used to cut openings for the outlets, thx

[@AZIMBAYO1]

I used a angle grinder with a 4 inch tile blade

[@BenefitExploits]

What size trowel did you use? I use 1/4 in. Square notch for subway tile but not sure what to use for mosaic because when I push the tile there’s quite a lot of glue that gets pushed into the grout joints

[@Christian-cw9mp]

Recommended trowel for mosaic tiles: V-Notch Trowel 3/16” x ¼”: A typical size for mosaic tiles and wall tiles up to 4 ½”

[@Synchrimedia]

[@HonestlyMichee]

How many sheets did you need for this area? And how did you get the half pieces for the bottom? And how did you cut around the light switches ?

Wow that’s a lot ! Do you mind sharing where you got this specific tile and how much it was per sheet . I’m looking at one similar and it’s 17.99 (do you think that’s really expensive ?) my kitchen has gold handles so this one .

[@p.n.2075]

Wow I am impressed with your work, very clean. I noticed that you used just a fine layer of mortar, no as I seen in similar videos. How thin should be?

[@AZIMBAYO1]

I used a 3/16 inch V-Notch Trowel. The Adhesive is MAPEI Type 1 Mastic (1-Gallon)

[@RobertLinthicum]

There should have been a much thicker layer of thinset.

[@Christian-cw9mp]

@RobertLinthicum not on marble mosaics. All the thinset bleeds through the joints and you spend hours with a toothpick or tile spacer scraping out all the thinset before you can grout. 3/16 x 1/4 v-notched is the correct trowel for all your marble mosaics.

[@consuelaflores]

Is this marble? I have similar marble that I’m trying to install and it splinters/cracks when I try to cut it. Any suggestions?

[@MadisonMonRoeCurtis]

How did you cut the smaller pieces???

What I do is I would have a hexagon tile removed from the mesh. I would place the next 12x12 meshed tile next to it and take a large piece of tile or wood and place it on top of the 12x12 and the single hexagon to hold it in place. Then use a 4" grinder with a tile blade and cut the single hexagon in half

You can also line the 12x12 up on your wet tile saw and saw all the end hexagons in half.
