If there are such and such a notch on the wall, then they need to be thrown, and after drying it, grate with sandpaper, so that the surface is flat. And of course the ideal option if you primed the surface before laying directly.

Do not forget, it all dries in 15 minutes. Press the tile not much in the surface over its entire part. Be sure to use the level.

It is important to adhere to some actions constantly so that the tile structure is not visible and everything was natural.
How to put mosaic tiles
If your mosaic tile is made from the paper coating, then after gluing, wait 15-20 minutes. Then, with the help of a wet sponge, moisten this surface. Do this until the tile becomes darker. After 3 minutes, if the paper is soaked in water, take it around the corner and pull it off the tile. You can’t do this, you still need to soak the paper with water. Only during this do not shift the mosaic. The paper must be removed until the glue is completely dry, in which case you will have a chance to align the joints.
Grout of the seams
Before the seams, you need to clean the surface of the mosaic slab from the glue. To grind the joints, use a special mixture with the addition of latex. If there are traces of this grout, then you need to remove them quickly until the grout has dried up (otherwise it will be very difficult to get rid of it) and with a damp cloth. At the end of this case, all mosaic tiles are required to wash and polish with a soft cloth.
