Gluing Stained Glass Mosaics

Video Transcript

"For this project, I'm going to use a nontoxic water based glue that dries clear, to glue our glass to our wood. There's two ways that you can choose to glue. One is applying the glue directly to the glass, enough to cover the whole back, placing the glass and then pressing it firmly down. You will see some glue being squeezed out from the edges, that's o.k., cause not only does it dry clear, but also it'll be covered when you grout it. Another way you can choose to glue is to put glue directly onto your substrate, not too much because you don't want to do more than you can mosaic in about five minutes. And then just glue pieces down from there. Again, don't worry if you can see the glue because it'll dry clear and it'll be covered by the grout. This process helps you fill a bigger area of space in less time, than gluing each piece individually, although it gives you a little less time to be detailed in your work."
