Can you mosaic on glass

My maiden name is Todd and I'm from Tennessee. Still home to me Anyway, have nothing to add to the expert advice you've been given except to reemphasize making sure your glue seals all the edges of your glass so you don't get grout creep.

Think almost all of us have had that problem. And wench, always more than happy to have a chance to drool over your windows. They are amazing. I do a stained glass pattern look myself. You might want to look at a post I did on page 4 GOG window done - different tech. I find it easier to work this way, than to glue each piece.

The contact paper holds the glass till I'm completely done. And I can pick it up and grind on it several times. Ladies, would thin set adhere better than grout? Would the grout stick to the silicone if Todd used the indirect method? Sorry I don't have the answers. Let us know how and what you do.

Inquiring minds want to know! I have a situation that I wonder if any of you have experienced and how you solved it.

I have made my 2nd glass on glass mosaic window. The glue I use Weld bond is drying super super slow between the glass pieces. It seems to have dried quickly around the edges of the pieces, but isn't drying in the middle of the pieces. I want to wait until it's completely dry before I grout it because I think that'll retard the drying process even more maybe even NEVER dry.

I've placed the window outside in the sun for days at a time, I've placed it against the wall by an air conditioning vent, and I'm now trying a blow dryer both sides of the glass. That might work, but the amount of time placing the hairdryer on each un-dried piece is too much. Indem Sie weiterhin auf der Website surfen bzw.

Yes, with backlighting the grout line is totally opaque, just like a stained glass window viewed from outside a church at night.

It really is impressive. You can definitely make stained glass light shades using stained glass and silicone. However, I would avoid making anything small or likely to contain heat and cause the wiring in the lamp to overheat. I would take obvious safety precautions like feeling the inside of the shade after the light had been on for a while, and I would copy factory-made designs in terms of size and shape but not mosaic pattern. I have also done 4 different stained Glass mosaic tables.

I used Loctite clear or Gorilla glue clear to adhere my glass. These are all interior use tables. I would be happy to share photos if you could give me photo credit, please.

Please email us pics directly at the website. We would love to see your mosaics! A word about cyanoacrylate glues such as Gorilla Glue. It really is! The part that got me was how well the impressionistic fish worked in the design.

Epoxy grout is preferable because it withstands more temperature changes than standard cement-based grout and is stain resistant. Epoxy grout can withstand a variety of conditions, so it really is the best bet. View this epoxy grout on Amazon. Overall, a lot of consideration should go into where the mosaic will live and the conditions it might face.

As mosaic materials, grout, and most adhesives cannot flex without cracking, you want to have a base or a backing added to the base that is completely inflexible. To maintain the integrity of your project, you do not want it to bend at all. The best option to finish the mosaic tile edge is to start by uniformly applying the outside edge. When you apply the rest of the design, it can overlap the edging material so that you still have an even edge. This keeps the overall look of your project uniform.

Caulk should be used minimally as it can distract from the overall appearance of your project. Two types of sealants can be used on outdoor mosaics. One is penetrating and absorbs into the surface of your mosaic. The other forms a protective membrane on the surface of the project. View this sealer on Amazon. Rub the surface down with methylated spirits prior to applying glue. This is an example of the adhesive under the green gem glass gem not being cured, Weldbond glue appears white until fully cured.

This is an example for grout under the tesserae, the yellow gem appears brown in spots. Add description, images, menus and links to your mega menu. A column with no settings can be used as a spacer.
