If I tip a drinking glass over on a swanstone counter, will the glass break
If I substitute "granite" or "tile" for swanstone, my experience say the answer is likely yes. On the other hand, with solid surface acrylic like Corian, the answer is likely no. So where is swanstone on the "hardness spectrum?

It is the same as Corian. Also it depends on the glass.

Glass tiles can easily be cleaned with a mixture of equal parts of water and vinegar. If you put this solution in a spray bottle, it is easy to apply to the glass tile surface. After spraying, allow the mixture to sit for about ten minutes, so that the vinegar has a chance to work on the hard mineral deposits. Then, a soft bristle brush can be used to not only clean the surface of the glass tiles, but also to scrub the grout.
Your not troweling enough glass thinset onto the wall. The thinset should be creamy and troweled evenly most people hold the trowel to flat or use to small of a trowel you also could lightly coat the back do the tile to give it a good mechanical bond
