My wife & I are thinking about putting mosaic tile in the center of a table & regular tiles on the edges but we never did mosaic tiling before. Any help would be appreciated.

just use regular ceramic tile adhesive (mastik) and then use tile grout to fill in the gaps, and a sealer over the top.... the people at the hardware store will help you find everything you need

If your mesh is too course to hold a thin set type addhesive,which it sounds like it probably is.Take a finer galvanized screen on top.Space the two apart at least 1/4".Make sure when you apply your thin set, that addhesive is pushed thru all the way to exsisting mesh.Clean off excess addhesive under the table before it dries completly.you might have to sponge underside with a very wet sponge.To make it all even through out.This will have alot of waste.But you will have one tough table.Seal as normal exterior tile after grout.

My wife is doing this right now, do it the same way you would a floor. Make sure you have a hard surface, seal it well, then put your glue down. Make sure you have a plan.

lay out your chosen design first when you are happy standard tile adhesive or no nails will stick it on

use a wall mastic with a 1/8 inch trowel. grout is and saw are all else you will need.
