Ooh thank you Tanya, refurbing my bird bath in mosaic style has been on my "to do list" for over a year! Now I know how to do it 🎉😁

I know you made this video 3 years ago, but I am planning to lead a mosaic birdbath community class this spring and loved your video! 2 questions: 1) Do we really not need to grout if we use this fast-setting cement (does the cement act as adhesive AND grout?) 2) I am assuming you need to use a sealant if this will be outside with water in it, correct? Thank you for your help!

Hi There! That's very exciting :) Yes - the cement will act as an adhesive and you can use a cement sealant once it has all cured, to help with the longevity of the birdbath. Good luck!

Thank you for that. I've had a disaster with my terracotta bowl breaking. Hopefully I can disguise the joins with mosaic.

Hello Tanya, I am new to mosaic work and your Channel - writing from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA (via Glasgow, Scotland) a cat knocked over my birdbath, a gift from my Mum over 20+ years ago (cat escaped) in gluing the bowl back together, there is one pie-shaped piece that is uneven in the surface. How can I repair this before starting to tile using your directions - with you there is no drama, just plain straightforward instructions. I take it the Grout you used is waterproof - did you use the grout as your adhesive to set tiles? Looking forward to your help and hearing from you. Thanks in advance, Elizabeth

Wait what??? why didn’t you add a sealer? Otherwise, this is a beautiful project. But in my mind, I would think that you’d want to seal your work, especially if the birds are going to be lapping up water out of it or a dog you mention using it for your dog to drink water.

Make sure sealer is food safe!!!
