I am getting ready to install 1" mosaic tile on the floors and tub surround of my bathroom. The face of the tile is on clear sheets of contact paper so I can just flip it over to install. I read somewhere that it's easier to use 100% solids epoxy as both asdhesive and grout for mosaics rather than using thinset and then grouting.
Any thoughts on this?

thanks for any advice,
m

Hi
Epoxy is not the easiest product to use...i wouldn't reccomend it if you are not a professional. If you are planning on grouting white, then use white thin set to set the mosaic...saves a lot of trouble later with clean up.
