The Most DIFFICULT Bathroom Build I've Ever Done

What happens here

Apply thin-set mortar to the wall area above the vanity using a notched trowel. Carefully place the white herringbone glass mosaic sheets onto the thin-set, ensuring levelness and consistent spacing. Press firmly to embed the tiles. For tricky cuts, use a tile saw with a diamond blade and proceed slowly to minimize chipping or damaging the fragile glass. Use a laser level to guide alignment and ensure the herringbone pattern is maintained. The presenter notes the difficulty with glass tiles and the delicate backing. Once the thin-set has cured, apply silicone caulk along the edges where the backsplash meets the countertop and side walls for a clean, waterproof seal.

Goal: Add the white herringbone glass mosaic tile as a backsplash above the vanity countertop, sealing it with caulk.

What they say

All right, let's talk about the backsplash. This is a product that I am not that likely to use. I'm actually surprised I bought it. It's a glass completely glass all the way through backsplash. Herringbone, cute. Yeah, I know. But here's what I don't like about it. It's it's got this white filament almost like a sticker on the back that's like painted on and it creates this white illusion. I don't like that at all because when I'm cutting this on my table saw, it's blowing out that filament that's on the back. And I don't know how to not do that. I'm cutting it literally 500 times slower than I usually cut and it it's decent. Some some of the pieces blew out and let's be honest, the only reason you could tell is because of the white filament compared to that glass. We're going to give it a try. We'll throw it up and if it looks like dog crap, we can always rip it down and vow to never use this stuff again. But today, we'll find out.
