Diamond Cyclone Blade
$120
Genesis Diamond Cyclone Blade for cutting glass mosaic. The segmented blade gives fine, clean cuts. See our guide to cutting glass mosaic.
Trowel 6 mm
$35
Square notch trowel with a stainless steel blade and high impact handle. The notch controls how much adhesive goes on. We spread PowerGel S1+ with a 6 mm notch.
Mixing Paddle for Grout
$60
Heavy duty chrome plated steel paddle that fits Starlike grout and adhesive pails, with a plastic hanger to rest it on the pail between batches.
Epoxy Grout Float

A float with a comfortable handle for pressing epoxy grout into the joints. Use it with Starlike Pro.
SuperPro Sponge
$15
Flexible polyurethane sponge, 8 x 5 1/8 x 2 3/4 in, for cleaning epoxy grout off glass mosaic. The open cells let grout and water rinse out, so it does not clog.
Scotch-Brite Scuff Pads
$10
Multi purpose pads for prepping, final finishing and light cleaning of glass mosaic tile.
