Hi everyone, I'd appreciate some advice on tiling outdoors.
I'm looking to tile around my garden wall topping stones, using some mosaic tile sheets. I saw something similar on holiday in Spain and have been itching to do it myself ever since.
So... for a tiling novice how am I best go ahead with this project? Should I attach and fill in the gaps with mortar or should I use a tile adhesive and then use grout to fill in the gaps?
Any advice much appreciated.
Thanks, Neil

Grout has better gap filling qualities, flows easier than mortar which contains sand and can be mixed with less water.
Some use mortar to fill gaps in tiles but mostly for cost and speed reasons than best practice.
