Grouting and Final Cleaning:
Before applying grouts make sure that the adhesive is set and firm and the
tiles are clean. Non-sanded grout is the recommend grout to use for mosaic
sheets due to small grout joints. Never use sanded grout on polished glass
mosaics this will scratch the material. Never use Epoxy grouts for the glass
mosaic tiles, unless specified by the manufacturer.
Using grout float apply the grout on the tiles. Use vertical
and horizontal stroke to spread the grout. Apply a little
pressure to make sure that all the joints are well filled.
While the grout is still fresh, stroke diagonally the long
edge of the grout float to remove excess grout and then
wipe it with wet sponge to clean.
Once the grout is set and dry and if there is still residue use nylon brush to
clean and then apply grout sealer according to manufacturers instructions.
Cutting Mosaics Using Wet Saw:
When cutting mosaic on a wet saw, put a tile or a piece of hard plastic down
on the cutting tray. This is necessary to keep the mosaic from falling in the
wide opening on the blade channel tray to be able to make a good straight
cut.
