Thanks for this video Julie. I have learnt a lot of nifty alternative tips from you over the years ( been doing mosaics for 5 years …aka breaking things 😂🤣- as a stress reliever !!) Keep doing this, because every day is a school day and I’m my case you are never too old to learn something !! Thanks again for sharing your knowledge.

[@karen-lynpenton2427]

I've had success with minor touch ups with a regular cardboard emery board. It was what I had within reach and I was too lazy to dig out my better tools. Another great video. Mini files were new to me. Thanks!

H Julie, I’m making mosaic candle holders from square glass vessels. I’m using weld bond to adhere ceramic and glass tiles. I’d like to paint the inside of the glass vessel so the glue and tile backs are less visible. Someone mentioned pebeo glass paint, but that has to be baked to make it permanent. Can a glass mosaic be baked? Thanks. Georgianne

[@JulieWeilbacher]

Hi Georgianne! Bake a mosaic?🤔 Can you paint the outside of the vessel with glass paint first, and then adhere your tesserae? Keep creating and I'm glad you're here!🔥
