Some of the tile we want to use as a back-splash are the little 1" x 1" (maybe they're half inch square) that have a plastic netting on one side to hold them in a 6" x 18" rectangle.

I assume, they get applied with the net facing out, then once the mastic dries, the netting gets removed? True?

Another assumption that might need correction [img]/forums/images/icons/tongue.gif[/img]

The mastic, which looks like spackling compound, has enough stickiness to hold these little tiles as well as the other 6" x 6" tiles to the wall until it dries? Or do I have to rig up some way to keep the tiles in place while the mastic dries? BTW, the trowel that was recommended has eighth inch notches.
