It means it washes off the surface of the stone easily, without needing to scrub.

Ah..of course. i.e. seal the tiles ungrouted then try a small area with grout and make sure it comes off easily... if it does then grout. If it doesn't apply another round of sealer....

Now I understand...

Well... Here we go... About to mosaic tile the shower floor... first ever time with mosaics. There does seem to be a lot of mesh on them though .... will post some pics once its done

Mosaic trowel Alan and tamp them down using a grout float. Nice and easy!

 

[Time's Ran Out]

What size mosaic and how thick are they?
Have you fixed the rest of the slate floor yet?

 

[Ajax123]

they are 50mm x 50mm slate mosaics on polypropylene mesh. all in...just awaiting adhesive setting so i can seal and grout. they arenthe neatest looking tiles but the grout will make them look better methinks...

 

[Ajax123]

oh amd they are varying depths from about 8mm up to about 12mm and there isnt a rest of the floor its the shower base so all mosaic.
