[28] How I finish the back of my ceramic tile coasters

[@commenter453]

Thank you so much! You just saved my life. I didn't know what to do with the back of some wedding themed coasters I am making. This is the answer I was looking for. :)

[@MauzyCreations]

That's fantastic. Happy to help and good luck with those coasters!

[@paulnotjesus8737]

Thank you, your video has just make my Christmas coasters for family presents complete. Thank you again. Merry Christmas

[@MauzyCreations]

Love this. Very happy to be of help and hope your family love their gifts.

[@hellenaallan1194]

Stunning tiles! Thank you for sharing how you cover their backs w cork. What kind of pen do you use to colour the edges? Are they waterproof? Lovely video, thank you.

[@MauzyCreations]

Hello. Usually I'm using just a sharpie or an acrylic pen. Is I touch up the sides I seal that with resin but the bottoms I don't worry about. They get coloured in and covered in cork.

Those are beautiful

[@MauzyCreations]

Aww thankyou :)

[@stirer1]

Hi thanks for the video , just wondering where you buy your cork from pls

[@MauzyCreations]

Hi. Various places. Here in Australia sometimes in spotlight which is a store selling fabrics, bedding, arts and crafts supplies and other homewares. Sometimes discount dollar stores have it too.

[@meerabanerjea9835]

How to get the same glaze you have on your coasters. They are so beautiful. I love them.

[@MauzyCreations]

Hi Meera. The shine is because I used epoxy resin. You need one with a higher heat tolerance so you can use them for cups of tea/coffee

[@sandraleamelendez9679]

Thank you for sharing.. Are the tile edges resined? If so, you use the marker to finish off the edges n back? How long does it take for the E6000 to dry? Just getting close to work with resin. Thank You

[@MauzyCreations]

Hi. Yes the sides are resined. Sometimes I use a marker for the back and sometimes I don't. E6000 dries pretty quick.

[@catherineobrien4100]

What do you seal your coasters with so a hot cup won’t stick?

[@MauzyCreations]

Hi. It has varied over time but for the last few years I have used Stonecoat Artcoat.

[@catherineobrien4100]

@@MauzyCreations does that protect against the heat of a cup of coffee ? I resined all my coasters and they looked beautiful them I discovered that they stick to anything warm. I applied duplicolor clear coat that a KZbinr said worked…. If you wait a week it appears to work. The problem is it leaves bubbles from the spray and you can’t torch it…. It ruins the beautiful gloss of the resin. I will look up your product if you say it works

[@catherineobrien4100]

@@MauzyCreations oh I just looked it up and it is resin. So this resin works against heat?

[@MauzyCreations]

@@catherineobrien4100 here is a heat test I did kzbin.info/www/bejne/oHKliZSFfdmUd5Y. Stone Coat Epoxy is heat-resistant up to 470 degrees Fahrenheit / 243 degrees C

[@catherineobrien4100]

Thank you I’m going to try to find this resin!

[@billsbuilds5961]

What do you use as filler on the back of the tile before you glue the cork on? Very cool work!

[@MauzyCreations]

Nothing. I just use e6000 glue and it works fine. There must be enough contact points.

[@billsbuilds5961]

Mauzy Creations Thanks!

[@brendaromero4376]

Beautiful. Before you resin your tile coasters do you spray or clean off the silicone? I've new to pouring. Do you know the amount of resin needed to do a certain number tiles? Thanks for sharing.

[@MauzyCreations]

Hi. I don't use silicone but when I did, I would clean off the tile. Not sure off top of my head the amount. I use a resin calculator online.

[@rochellehyman2241]

Where do you get the cork sheets to buy. Can you post a link

[@MauzyCreations]

Hi Rochelle. I get them from two places generally. Spotlight (www.spotlightstores.com/) and sometimes my local discount dollar store has them.

[@catelaine8706]

Where do you get your labels from?

[@MauzyCreations]

Vistaprint

[@debbiesheridan3334]

Great tutorial x how much would you sell these for please?

[@MauzyCreations]

Hi Debbie. 4x coasters on their own I usually sell for $25 Australian $ but have been wondering if that's too cheap. Otherwise I include them with cheese boards and discount them because of being a set.

[@mariamaria-oi2cs]

Thank you that is great 👍 you cut the cork to under the size right?

[@dezireadams8026]

this video was very helpful. I was wondering though how do you typically package this if your are shipping ? I recently starting selling my items- I hope you respond thank you

[@MauzyCreations]

Hi. Good luck with selling your items!! To be honest I don't think I have had to post ship coasters... oh no I have once or twice. Mostly I have sold them in person at markets or to people who have picked up. When I posted with a matching board, I did not stack the coasters. I laid them out flat on the board and wrapped the whole thing in paper first, then lots of bubble wrap and shipped in a box. If only shipping coasters I would probably stack them, wrap in paper, then bubble wrap and maybe extra padding in a box that isn't too much bigger than the coasters plus wrapping. You want a snug fit (no rattling in transit). I always wrap in paper first because bubble wrap does leave impressions on resin so I want a barrier between the resin and the bubble wrap. Hope that helps.

[@beryldownham4744]

Lovely

[@MauzyCreations]

Thanks for watching !

[@arclark6629]

I'm concerned that the tiles are slippery for a wet glass. Mine have varnish over the paint.

[@MauzyCreations]

I have not had that problem but can see how it could be.

[@melanieponting1325]

Thank you

[@MauzyCreations]

You're welcome

[@thedomesticatedhippie4416]

Where do you get your stickers/labels?

[@MauzyCreations]

Hi. Thanks for watching. I designed the label and got it printed through a company here called Vistaprint. They also made my business cards.

[@thedomesticatedhippie4416]

Awesome thank you!

[@hollybiola7570]

This was helpful. I’m going to make trivets out of 8 inch tile- what thickness cork would you recommend?

[@marygonzales3877]

How much do you sell your coaster for?

[@MauzyCreations]
