Gluing Mosaic Tile on a Hand Mirror

Video Transcript

"Now, we'll show you how to transfer your mosaic pieces onto the base. I've traced the heart with, I have a blue line here, I don't know if you can see it. And, we're going to transfer the pieces around the heart shape first, because they?re the most important parts of the design. So, you want to put on a good amount of adhesive and place it just outside the line of the heart. You don't want to come up too far because when we're grouting it, you want the grout to overlap and come just to the line of the heart. So, just work your way around putting the adhesive on. Now, if you find you have a thinner, some of your crockery is thinner and some is thicker. So, the thinner piece of crockery you want to put on more adhesive to kind of build up underneath and so it will be more level with the piece that's thicker. And, just move all the way around the heart, placing your crockery in approximately the same place and then we'll fill in with the other pieces later."
