I never have, but anytime I do anything DIY I got to DIY.com, they have a tutorial for EVERYTHING! Good Luck, can't wait to see pics when it's done!

Re: Installing glass back splash

make sure you use white mastic and make the mastic smooth (no ridges like a normal install), otherwise it will show through. So you make the grooves then smooth them out.

I did it...but I actually used clear liquid nails, so that I didn't have to worry about making sure the mortor was perfect.

grouting is super easy, since the lines are so thin.
