Just a tiny dab of exterior grade adhesive. Thinset mortar does the real job

@@marissawhatsuppp sure. Just a QEP table saw

The substrate is GoBoard

Sure. Are you local/ Indiana? Shipping would be $$!

@@marisaroeder5834 well in this video I'm using art glass. Totally different thickness. Use a diamond sanding pad www.amazon.com/Bstansion-Diamond-Polishing-Sanding-Grinding/dp/B0CZN3JRDK/ref=mp_s_a_1_1_sspa?crid=13U1XH3IWKH1Z&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.CQVamgqzBJEnWzvpxhhjjYel8a7odoQWsv7ddgbuKHUlexWjneTY_0FHaXCpgcDDv9UOD6UG3uUh8ysXx0XKsqMNbjpJepNUscVXRV5UmPJQKpE7vhkH43azgi_jbXIEcXfn5IGXF831J7aNQdeJcqL7SQTVRioCzXUQYRx-b80xd6TvFxWaZ_CL5tq7RO5C5Ts8fm0UREyQBpKMUe7B6g.rJI4UqWMJQca0OPfXhtKIgyJxfTiOA4MG_TNibhIB1o&dib_tag=se&keywords=glass+grinding+pad&qid=1721602185&sprefix=glass+grinding+pad%2Caps%2C124&sr=8-1-spons&sp_csd=d2lkZ2V0TmFtZT1zcF9waG9uZV9zZWFyY2hfYXRm&psc=1

@@marisaroeder5834 omg..so sorry. Just saw your message. Use a diamond file or Dremel to sand the sides smooth. Or put the pieces in a tumbler to smooth

@@dnk1870 just a little dab of watered down exterior Tite Bond. The real adhesive is indeed the thinset when installed

Got it. Thanks for the reply. ​@@mosaicsgardenbynancykeating

Yep. Grouted in black

Not sure I understand your ? But the raw edges of mesh and substrate will be cut to fit the glass mosaic

@@mosaicsgardenbynancykeating in the video at the very end you said that you left certain spots open

Ohh I understand what you're asking now. So this panel is just one of many that go together to create an outdoor mural. The small open spots are for the fixings/ washer to screw into the vertical concrete wall.

these are 4" diameter

Wet saw

A tile wet saw

Yep

Not necessary. Especially if you use a grout admix for exterior applications. I offer an online course for garden poles. Hers info link mosaicsgarden.teachable.com/p/mosaic-garden-pole

They are all beautiful!

Yes indeed. The board is actually a backer used for tiling shower walls. In the construction industry.

Ohhh and no prep necessary....ready for tiling or mosaic ing

Gosh...hard to say. Kinda depends on the actual piece. More thinset bed if you want the piece to have dimension...or if the bottom is curved. I use a mortar designed for large format tiles

@@mosaicsgardenbynancykeating thank you very much

If you ever get over to Cornwall/ Devon..I've got a friend and great artist that teaches. Check out MoonHare mosaics

No....have you grouted mosaics before? It's never an issue

@@mosaicsgardenbynancykeating Hi Nancy yes I have but I usually tile all my edges which is a pain with narrow .5 cm . Rubbing in the grout like you did looks so much easier. Thank you

Nope. The board is only a quarter inch thick. The black grout will stain the edges black. Can paint the edge too if you want

Thank you Nancy that’s what I was having trouble with the narrow edges and cutting tiles to fit. If you use paint can you just use acrylic or does it need to be oil based?

Yep A wet saw

I'll start teaching a variety of mosaic style workshops Winter and spring 2024 My website gives info about the different mosaic courses. Sign up for the quarterly newsletter for class dates announcement.

My local glass/ mirror store. And I always ask for free TG that may have been damaged or a wrong order.

Ohh thank you. It is indeed a very challenging grout...but I teach how in my workshops

Hi Lynda, I teach in my studio / Carmel Indiana. I've had ladies from San Diego CA come for workshops! There are so many very talented mosaic artists in CA that teach. Do a Google search. Marsha Rafter comes to mind. I do offer 2 on line mosaic classes/ workshops. Links and info on my website. www.mosaicsgarden.com
