Default Metal trim for glass mosaic tiles

Hi all,

I'd like to use glass mosaic tiles (on a mesh) for the back splash of
my bathroom sink. I have used metal trims around the bathtub tiles,
and would like to do the same for the sink back splash, but these
glass mosaic tiles are much thinner (1/8" ?) than regular tiles, and I
cannot seem to find metal trims that are smaller than 1/4" thick at
Home Depot and a couple other local hardware stores I looked at.

What is the best way to do this? Can buy a smaller trim and if so,
where? I tried putting a lot of glue behind the tile to increase the
thickness, but the mesh (along with the tiles attached) started to
bulge and slide, due to the large amount of glue used to achieve the
thickness that was needed to work with the 1/4" trim.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciate.

Cheers,

how much do you need to build up? glue/nail lauan or plywood to the
wall to make up the difference?
