But it certainly looks more practical than buying a large bag of the stuff usually recommended for adhering tile in damp locations or trying to find a tile guy to do such a small job. Back buttering the tile is a very good idea - they will be 18" x 9.5" once they are cut to fit on the sink area.

As for clean up, I figure I'll tape off the area, maybe use some drop cloth material. But I read that this stuff can be cleaned up with denatured alcohol so it might not be a huge problem.

Now the next problem - I was really hoping to get the two tiles bull nosed. There is one guy in the area that has the machine (?) to do it and all the tile guys that need it done hire him for that part. I have his name and phone number and I may try to see if I can carry the two tiles to him where ever he is working and have him do it. Maybe I can get him to notch the hole for the faucet, too.

The good news is that I have the grout to match the tiles, so I can do that part, no problem. I did a lot of tile work in my old house, a floor and a bunch of countertops.
