When cutting tesserae, painting, gluing, using
adhesive and mixing grout you
must wear the appropriate protective clothing.
Mouth and nose filter masks prevent dust and fumes for entering your lungs
and causing infection or illness
Protective eyewear is essential when cutting or smashing tiles as the
splinters and small tesserae pieces often fly up onto your face. They can be
extremely sharp and painful.
Gloves should be worn at all times when handling the tiles, glue, grout and colorants. Some of the adhesive and grout mixtures are quite acidic and can
irritate your hands. Splinters from broken tiles and glass will also be a concern
Surgical gloves are often better for more intricate work such as cutting and
nibbling tesserae into shape. They are generally made of latex, cheap and
disposable.
