Refurb Glass Tile tool
Needed to re-tile my 14" glass tile tool after working 3 by 18" to 24" mirrors.
Old tile depth down from 7-8mm original thickness to about 1.5-2mm, so obviously wouldn't have had a "dogs show" of lasting the distance grinding out my current 22"f3.5 mirror project.
As the curvature on the worn tool was near enough from previous project, an 18"f4, it was a simple matter to apply a commercial tile adhesive over the old surface, and lay on the new sheet of glass tiles.
The adhesive used normally dries in 24hr,(at 23degC), but because of the low winter temperature, took 3 days to cure. Just finished cleaning out the grooves, (between tiles), used tools seen, (old haksaw blade and paint brush).
See pics: including the 14" tool "astride" my 22" tool (used for 30"and 33" mirrors)
