Product Description
This is 4.3 oz fiberglass mesh with 36 holes per square inch - ideal for working with small tiles. One side is self-adhesive, so you don't have to make a mess with glue as you're laying out your design! Instead, you just lay your tiles in place, and that's it! The adhesive is strong enough to hold your design, but light enough to allow you to pull off & move misplaced tiles. Once you try this type of mesh, you'll never want to go back to your old methods again!
Mosaic mesh can be cut very easily into any shape or size you need. If you're working on a project like a border near a ceiling or a kitchen / bathroom back splash, you can create it in several, smaller sections or create one large mosaic and then cut it into smaller chunks (between the tiles) before installing. Then place it all together on the wall like pieces of a puzzle.
The mesh is 37 1/2" wide and the price is per linear foot. We have a large quantity available, and whatever length you order will be sent to you in one continuous sheet up to 10' long. So for a purchase quantity of 1, you will receive a piece measuring 12" x 37.5". If you order a quantity of 10, you will receive a sheet that is 10' x 37.5". Your mesh will be cut from a roll like the one in the photo and folded for shipping. (For example: An order for 60' of mesh will arrive as six 10' pieces.) Any creases can be smoothed by flattening out the mesh and stretching it by hand.
Place your mesh on a flat surface on top of your pattern, if you have one, with the sticky side up. Then, simply begin sticking your tiles to the mesh, face up. Press firmly so they stick well. The adhesive is strong enough to hold, but light enough so you can very easily pluck misplaced tiles off & move them around.
Next, trim any stray edges from your mesh and prepare your substrate with a thick adhesive (ceramic tile adhesive is good for this step). Finally, place your mesh/mosaic over the adhesive and press down until the adhesive has squished up through the holes in the mesh, onto the backs of your tiles for a permanent hold.

Fiberglass mesh
Performs exactly the way described - very sticky and also forgiving when I change my mind about placement or color. Am using with smalti glass tiles - from 3/4” down to very small shard like pieces in areas of detail.
