Smoothing rough edge on glass tile
 

Hey everyone...I have some slightly rough edges on some glass tile that I cut..I was reading that you can smooth these out by using emery sticks...I found a sight online...but don't know what "grit" I need to use.....can anyone give me some advice?

These are glass mosaic tile

Thanks
Melissa

You can use regular sandpaper too. I would start with a relatively high grit, like 220 or 320.

Are you trying to polish the edge, or just clean it up?

I'm just trying to clean it up.....I kind of tiled a small wall in my dressing room...and I didn't use the plastic edging....at first I figured grout or caulk would "hide" the rough edges....but I think it'd just be a lot better if I just smoothed them out..lol

You need to get some silicone carbide sand paper. I have a Mikata 5" disc sander I use with a stick on pad, works great! You can also use a belt sander. You could also use a diamond hand pad like the one shown in the link.

Try the belt sander
 

We have used the belt sander with good luck before.

Hey guys....just used some 100 grit sandpaper with some water and it smoothed out the edges perfectly....thanks!
