Outdoor Mosaic Materials

This video is all about about mosaic materials and products that you can use outside. - IMPORTANT PLEASE READ - When it comes to sealing some people choose not seal when using thinset, there preference is to wet the area down and the water absorbs into the substrate rather than zapping the moisture out of the thinset which works well. When using a sealant there is a chance it could fail which means your mosaic could fail as the thinset is sticking to the sealant. I use Laticrete thinset and in many cases Laticrete Hydroban which is a water proofing membrane/sealant. To seal or not to seal is a personal choice, you need to choose the best option to suit your needs and as always read the manufacturers data sheets so you can make an informed decision on whatever products you use.

Hi Peter, Thankyou for the video. Because of you and your videos I have used Hydroban, Latcriette adhesives and grout. I have used mesh and I have used Mac glue with so many good results. Thank you so much from an another Aussie in NSW. Regards Alana

As usual, delivering tons of info without chatter. Keep ‘em coming! Who knew mirrored tiles needed sealing? Every time I listen to these videos I find out how little I know!

[sandrakicklighter]

The substrate question has been one that has kept me from getting started. THANK YOU so much for making this video. It was perfect!

[yvonneyaar]

Through and so well explained! I have been working with warm glass for many years and just started mosaics a couple of years ago. Making art during a pandemic is the only way to keep your sanity, at least for me! A friend asked me how to start a project and thankfully you were here to help. I sent her this link. Very hard to teach art through email. Thanks again!

Thank you for this informative video. Just what I have been looking for before I start my outdoor mosaic project.

Super informative & I could listen to your Ozzie accent forever. 😍

Hi Peter I”m so glad I found your video. I’m 78 and just starting mosaics. I’m planning on making a cross for my cousins grave, I’m glad you mentioned not to use wood, MDF and products like that. So I need to make my cross first in a suitable material, before doing the mosaics.Thank you I’m also in Melbourne. Do you by any chance teach mosaics ? I’ve liked and subscribed 😊

Oh Peter, I am a 70 year old female, just starting on the mosaic journey. I LOVE your videos. I am asking a big favour, can I copy your due diligence. Lol. I am trying to mosaic a paver, and I would want to use Laticrete products, yes, because of your suggestions, my hero. Lol. Is that OK. I would even drive to Virginia, north side of Brisbane, not USA. Gees, I think I am funny. Only I do. Thank you dear for sharing all of your expertise with us. It is so appreciated, by many. Luv ya.😁

[colocheri]

This was perfect 👌 And I see people have found it very useful - all the info needed for an outside piece. ☺️

[renelester]

Great video. I use to mosaic for fun before my kids were. They are grown now and I want to get back into it. I love is southern Cali and want to mosaic birdhouse. The birdhouse is made of wood. Can you please give me some pointers to keep the longevity? Thank you!!

[Steph-in-the-Stars]

Love your mosaic videos, Peter. From Stephanie in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. 😊

Hi Peter Your videos are brilliant. So helpful.... I am going to mosaic a very large pvc pipe. It will stand in an unprotected space in a Brisbane area. Not sure if I should use glass or ceramic tiles i have both. Happy New Year and thank you for helping. Carmel>

[katherinesmithjacobs]

Hi Peter! Your videos are great - I've been watching them to help me on my journey of creating my first mosaic! I'm planning on using a porcelain paver tile as my substrate (still learning the lingo!) for my outdoor project. Would you recommend sealing it first (it doesn't seem porcelain is that porous, but I don't want to mess this up!)! Thank you again for your videos!

[DenGio]

Hi Peter, thank you for this great information! I’m making a sun catcher, placing stained glass pieces on plexiglass to hang outside. I’m using outdoor silicone as will be see through. I’m not sure what to seal with to protect. I’m in California. This piece will be hung in Mt. Shasta - land of snow and cold but warms up nicely in the summer. ☺️ thank you for any advice!

[joychip]

Great video explained everything learned a lot of information thanks

[leannechurches]

Hi there Peter,
could u give me some advise on preparing a fibreglass surfboard .lt will be displayed in a patio .l have taken the wax off and that's all I've done, ..

[tinamaruco]

I just love your channel you are so informative! Question: i plan on making stepping stones up north leaving outside in winter. Shud i use cement pavers or wedi board? Not sure if wedi board is fir outside use. Wedi board so much lighter. Also I have tons of glazed ceramic all shapes tiles I planned to use with thinset as both adhesive and as a grout. Will they be fine in winter? Ty so much!

[theresachavez]

Thanks just starting ... very helpful info.

[kbevard]

Do you know any particulars on mosaic work by the sea? Limitations, etc? Thank you. Extremely informative video.

[montanaweaverkim]

Hi Peter, you videos are so very helpful, thank you. But latcriette has many differed ‘admix” I am wondering if you can be more specific as to what you are mixing with the grout to make your thinset. Do you also have a ratio? Thanks!
