Marble Scale/Fan Mosaic Mistake?
I am in the middle of an installation. I was was checking something on the data sheet for the thinset and saw "Do not use with resin-backed stone tile" and I am, like, six mosaic panels into this. The panels have a mesh imbedded in adhesive that kind of melts when wet. I have to be careful not to lose any tiles when using the wet saw. I'm concerned about them popping off down the road from the adhesive.
I have a Redi Pan, flashed to foam backer board with a ceramic tile on the floor and these scales on the walls. I only have about 6 panels set. Do I need to pull them? If I need to pull them, should I pull the backer board, too? What is the good epoxy mortar in Sacramento, and do I need to use that? Or should I just keep going and use a bullet-proof sealer?
Yeah, there's a redi niche, too. lol
My wife gets what she wants. She might dislike the way it wears in a couple years and have me redo it. That's part of the deal. I'm cool with that 😎
