    A good trick to keep your thinset from drying out - once you mix it, put in a ziplock bag, seal, and then cut a small piece from one of the corners (like a piping bag). You'll have good control measuring out how much you need by squeezing the bag.

      Annoying music is one of the things I see people complaining about the most in videos. And the thing that I complain about the most in videos. And yet I continue to see UA-camrs doing this thinking that their audiences like it. I don't understand the disconnect. I think very few people like annoying repeating music. I wish that UA-cam channels would get the message that we hate it. Stop putting annoying repeating music on your videos. It does not add any value to the videos. If anything it just makes people not want to watch and not want to subscribe.

    I love your instructional mosaic videos!!! I am volunteering to make some mosaic floor rondels (inside a squared off bordered field of mosaics) for a Catholic church in SC and I have very limited experience (other than much home smaller projects). My first mosaic will be 8' x 8' in the Narthex of the church (in pieces, but one half of each of the round pieces is a 52"dia. half round). I am trying to find the thinnest backer board possible as the concrete slab is already laid and will not leave me much room for any extra thicknesses. I am afraid the Schluter Ditra will be too thick. Can you suggest a strong rigid backer that is only about 1/16"? How thick is this backer board you are using in this video and does it come in bigger sizes?

    • @i-c-mosaics3976
      @i-c-mosaics3976 3 роки тому

      If your shower floor is ready (prepared) for a mosaic, I'd recommend to just glue your stones down straight to your floor - without the mesh. Otherwise, you need to put the glue down on the floor before you lay the mesh into it. So seems easier to glue directly to your shower floor.

  • @BEAdventurePartners

    Do you think that this would work with small polished pebbles as well? We are going to do the floor of our shower in our skoolie. Thanks in advance. It was great to see how simple it was to do a mosaic on the mesh! Great idea! - Erin + Brian too

    • @i-c-mosaics3976
      @i-c-mosaics3976 3 роки тому

      Hi and thanks for your question. With small polished pebbles, I can see there might be an issue of any rounded surface that won't stick well to the sticky mesh. If they are flatter, then they would work well and if they are 1-1/2" and larger, that is even better. To have pieces stick well, you need a flatter, larger surface for the mesh to grab on to. Also, being polished may add an issue for sticking so you may want to rough them up with sandpaper to give them a better surface for this. Hope this helps!
