Dealing With Mesh-Mounted Tile
You have probably noticed that most brands of glass mosaic tile at other suppliers come mounted on mesh sheets. The mesh sheets allow the entire sheet to be rapidly installed in ordinary tiling jobs.
To use individual tiles or pieces of tiles, it is generally necessary to remove the mesh. However, mesh can be extremely difficult if not impossible to remove due to advances in baked-on adhesives.
The solution requires thinking outside the box:
Consider cutting the mesh up with a pair of shop scissors and use individual tiles that still have some mesh attached to the bottom. Remember, the mesh was made to be glued down with the tile anyway. There isn’t any real reason it has to be removed other than ease of working.
