Hi Guys, long time no post!
I finally got some time to work on that bathroom again. Everything was going up GREAT until (dum dum dummmmm) I opened my 2nd to last mosaic tile and I find that somehow water had gotten inside and molded to the tile. I let it dry and then tried to remove the cardboard and the attached picture is what it looks like. There's not much left but... can I put it up like this? I picked at the cardboard for an hour but now the little rocks are coming loose so if I go much further it won't be able to be put up.
I think I can go ahead and install it but ONLY because the location of this tile will be installed is on the outside edge and at a height even with the shower head, so there's really no way it will get soaking wet. I attached photos but they're blurry, sorry!
I would normally just go buy a new one but this was the last one of a clearance set... I bought about a year ago. Any thoughts? Can I finish with it like this or is that just begging for the little pieces to fall out in a few years and find mold growth?
