Should organic adhesive or mastic be used to install Lunada Bay Glass Tiles?
Organic adhesive is not an appropriate setting material for Lunada Bay Glass Tiles in wet areas, such as showers or bathtub enclosures. Also, some organic adhesives may yellow behind clear or translucent tiles. Organic adhesive does not cure, as do cementitious based products. Adhesives dry and bond when exposed to air, given sufficient time. As the adhesive first begins to dry and set at the edges, on larger glass tiles this will seal off the back of the tile, like putting a lid on a can. Impervious materials, such as glass mosaics, can only properly set when installed using polymer-modified cementitious or epoxy based mortars. Again, it is important to note that time is required for the adhesive to set properly.
