Breaking tiles for a mosaic: Do you also need to wear safety glasses if you cover the tiles with a old towel, while breaking it with a hammer?
I would like to know, because somebody told me to wear safety glasses but I always put the tiles into a towel.
you might. It's better to be safe than sorry. If you don't have the towel completely around them (accidentally, or even on purpose) then it's best to wear them. I would just to be sure.
It would be a good idea as the tile chips could cut through the towel and come flying out of nowhere unexpectedly.
