Glass underlayment
Saw a lady on Craigslist advertising that she was looking for sheet glass to put down underneath her glass tile. Is this even remotely feasible?

You could put live puppies under it if you wished. Doesn't mean it would work though. This can't be a serious question....

Veeeerrrryyyy interesting. I'm wondering who sold her on this.

I could see it as backlighting in certain circumstances. It would be pretty cool to have your shower walls or kitchen backsplashes light up. I'm sure that I wouldn't use glass as a backer.
