Mosaic Table Making // Flower Design
This is the first mosaic I have made so I learnt a lot throughout this video:
Use pieces of ceramic that are the same height for a level surface. // try to wear gloves when soothing and mixing grout...... ;)
Steps :
1. Sanded back old table, with an electric sander.
2. Measured and cut a cement sheet using a scoring tool. Glued down the sheet and drilled countersunk rib head screws in each corner (The reason for the cement sheet was to protect the mosaic from being pushed off; as the wood may react in the weather.)
3. Smashed old plates from the opp shop and laying around the house; roughly 10 plates.
4. Drew a rough design.
5. Began glueing pieces on using dunlop ready to go grout adhesive // used about 10 tubes and decided that was an expensive way to go; so switched to dunlop floor adhesive in a large tub. (Not premixed)
6. Finally I grouted the entire surface using my bare hands ... would not recommend.
Also I purchased white grout but someone must have swapped the boxes? anyway I appreciate this mistake , I think I prefer the brown. :)
