Hello,
I'm wondering if anyone can suggest the best way to even out a crooked wall.
We're going to install mosaic above the countertops in the kitchen. When we're about to mount the countertops, we notice that one wall is crooked. (When the countertop is against the wall at one end, there's a gap of about 5 millimeters between the countertop and the wall at the other end.)
Since we need to maintain a 90-degree angle between the countertops, we have to even out the wall. What's the best way to do this? What type of filler should we use? (I guess it's not a great idea to just pile on more adhesive behind the mosaic as we move further to the left on the wall
)
By the way, it's a concrete wall, if that makes any difference.

If it's "only" five mm, I would have applied a slightly stronger silicone seal between the countertop and the wall.
The mosaic is probably closer to 5 mm thick, and you will probably finish it above the countertop, right? So those 5 mm will disappear before the silicone sealing anyway.

A good thing that can withstand most things is GIPSBRUK.... Check out Gyproc's stuff,,, Or MAXIT ... very smooth things to work with.
Agree with Linnex. Place the tiles so that they are "even" with gaps on both edges. Slap on the tiles. Silicone. Voila! I've done the same with gaps up to 1 cm, no problems as the tiles add up quite a bit.
Hello and thanks for the tips, wrote a bit hastily last time, it should be 5-10 mm, now that everything is adjusted it's 10, one centimeter that is. The mosaic is only 3.5 mm thick, how much does the adhesive normally build?
Gunne, what do you mean by setting the boards so that it is even with the gap? So it's two boards that are to be joined together in an L-shape. They are biscuit joined and the angle is 90 degrees. Since there is an edging at the front, it is cut as a small "recess", so to speak, I can't shift the boards relative to each other, they have to be mounted in this exact 90-degree angle.
We're trying with gypsum mortar, it sounds easy to work with and good.
Thanks!

builds about 2 mm. That is about 5 mm in total.
I still think that the remaining 5 mm is covered by a slightly wider silicone joint. you need to apply a seam of at least closer to 3 mm.
An alternative to putty is to trim a bit of the sheet. Place something suitable as a guide/stop for the circular saw along the sheet and clamp it with two clamps.

Would also have trimmed a bit at the back of the board if it couldn't be done without.
