Ensure that the surfaces are stable and structurally strong to support ceramic, glass, stone tile, thin brick, or similar surface options.

Application method
Start by mixing the glass tile adhesive with plain water. Use hands instead of any trowel or ladle. Let the mix slake for a few minutes, and remix without adding any more water or powder. It helps in fluffing the consistency and eases the application process.
Use the flat side of the trowel and apply the mortar to the substrate by firmly pressing it onto the surface. Continuously comb the additional mortar using the notched side of the trowel. Ensure that you back butter the tile before installing it to provide full bedding support. It will also assist in firmly placing the tiles and prevent mortar ribbons from showing through the transparent/translucent glass tile.
Now place the tiles one after the other onto the wet, sticky mortar and beat it gently using the block and rubber mallet. It will ensure that each tile embeds in the surface and adjusts to the level.
Make intermittent checks to ensure that the mortar completely covers each tile by removing one tile and inspecting the bedding mortar transfer onto the tile back. The exercise is crucial because if you notice that the mortar is not enough, you must remove it and replace it with fresh mortar for proper installation.
