Trying to Grout Glass on Glass Mosaic with Clear Silicone

In this experiment, I don't want to use standard grout on my Glass on Glass Mosaic vase, so I attempt to use a clear silicone sealant grout technique instead! This isn't the "clear grout" you can get that is only partially translucent... it's totally clear sealant caulk stuff!

Love this Thank you! Patricia
You fell from heaven to me 😃 My beautiful mosaic work is waiting for the gaps to be filled and I don't like ordinary grout. I had exactly the same idea and was wondering about what you showed. Tomorrow I will finish my work with transparent silicone. Thank you for the useful instruction I decided to press some "Resin Bubble Beads, 100g 1-3mm Iridescent Glass No Hole" into the applied silicone to my mosaic.🙏
Exactly what I was looking for
I've enjoyed your pieces. . .you've inspired me to do more and possibly make gifts for family and friends.
Wow, thus was beautiful and something I had been searching for *for quite a while*. Your channel just showed up on my feed after three years, I'm checking out your other episodes. 😊 Thanks
I've been wanting to see how this is done. Thanks for your friendly demonstration! One question: was it hard to keep from getting it on, and cleaning it off, the glass/tess/gems? Thanks....
Please don’t give up on the wheel! If it were easy EVERYONE would be doing it! (Lol) take a deep breath-relax that back-make sure your arms are close to your body. Watch videos and don’t let the clay control you! Start small -it’s all about centering but kinda like riding a bike. Once you get the “feel” for it you will never forget it. Good luck! I know you can do it!
You have the perfect personality for this type of tutorial!! Thank you ever so much!!! Im sure by now you have run across the newer TRANSLUCENT Grout products. A lot more $$$ than regular grouts but the effect is pretty awesome. You helped me with my problem and I can't thank you enough. I used the DAP to fill the area under the glass pieces. And now Im going to use the colored translucent grout in much smaller amounts on top of the DAP?? I would love to see many more of these video's to come!!
I wonder if u can add glitter 2 the silicone?
GREAT personality. I enjoyed watching your presentation
What did you originally use to attach the glass pieces to the vase?
Just Weldbond glue! It works great and dries mostly clear. I'm not sure it's great for outdoor applications tho. Hope that helps!
Thank you for sharing your experiment. I was wanting to do the same thing with the product I used to glue down the pieces (Liquid Nails Clear Seal) It looks the same as what you used for grout. The piece I made is very large so I didn't want to experiment on it, but I will probably do it after seeing how nice yours turned out. I love love your creation, your choice of glass and arrangement are awesome!
Loved your journey Brookie!
Thanks for letting us hop on this journey with you Brooke. I'm so glad you've decided that glass is your forte and that you'll continue to vlog. Great things in store for my Dear!
That was great! Glad you're going to keep up with the videos. I love watching them!
Great job, Brooke!
marry me so i can drink my beer out of that please
Really happy for you to get back to ART!
Another good glass safety tip is to not wave large shards of broken glass around your face when you’re shooting a UA-cam video 😂
AHHHhahaha I was thinking exactly that as I watched it back :D
Facinating Brooke.....wish I could take some of those courses. Your work is stunning and good luck with your art show entries.
I bet you could find some in Winnipeg! It's really popular!
Very cool! That's an interesting product, too -- I would have thought that silicone was the only viable product similar to what you were looking for. This stuff looks to be notably better from a lot of usability aspects, so I'm going to keep that in mind. Literally the only advantage the silicone would have had is that it doesn't shrink... but everything else would have been worse. Glad you made the video!
Thanks Kurt! Took me long enough! :D Anyway glad you enjoyed it and I wish I had looked into what chemical it was before doing the video so I didn't keep referring to it as silicone or caulk. But you can find it with all that stuff! Maybe I should change the title to "clear rubbery stuff"? ha!
Had an awesome visit with your Mom and Gramma Dodi last month.
Love the idea of watching you work on a project. Maybe try marking off your starting point with painters tape or something similar (washable marker ) at the top and bottom edges of the vase. Clear grout is amazing. 👍👌
Great work, Brooke! You have accomplished so much. I would've given up long ago! I love all the glasswork.
Looks like Hibiscus to me, not a lilly. ;)
Progressing nicely Brooke. I think you found your niche (glass).
I agree with Penny!
The night-lights are adorable. You could sell the shit out of those!
Penny Pennell I think so too! I have to find many things that are easy to make and could sell well.
Love, the desert sunset Brooke! ...and all the other pieces too really.
What do you mean, I've been "bugging you"? Lol. I call it gentle persuasion. And I LOVE the piece you did for me.
Clay! Clay! Clay! You need to do more
Great way to celebrate the life of a good friend
I hope the piece you left behind in class was a vessel the elderly teacher can catch his tears in because he failed you 😂
It was 3 pinch bowls together, so one for each eye and one for snot. Perfect!
You are so pretty and funny!! And, btw, the thing you were talking about that were making for your mom and you said, "Why am I talking about this? Nobody cares." Um, I CARE!!!! I think it's going to be spectacular!
Allison Breyfogle I was mainly referring to the making of the sample flowers though!
Using silicon caulk as a grout replacement -- that's interesting! I can guarantee it'll be extremely messy and smell incredibly bad for a lot longer than you'd think it should. I would think that it would have a tendency to "peel" if the vase is handled a lot. Maybe sealing it with a few coats of a clear lacquer after it cures might help? Definitely follow up on what you end up doing because I'm curious if it'd work.
Kurt Granroth Ha, you make it sound so appealing! I will definitely do it outside then, and try to keep it under the mosaic pieces to prevent the peeling. Tune in next week for the update, and thanks so much for watching! Hope you and April and the kids are doing awesome!!
Finally did a new video of the process! It worked great! It wasn't too messy but did smell terrible. Have a look!
You are adorable! And talented! xoxo
♥️♥️♥️
Thank you for sharing Deb with us Brooke. You were both very fortunate to have shared so much with each other and I know her memory will impact your art for a long time to come. ❤
Incredibly moving, Brooke. Thank you for sharing the story of your friend Deb with us. <3
Thank you for sharing your story, I'm so proud of you. ❤️
👌👌👌👌
Not art related per se...but I must say your eyebrows are on point. ❤
OMG THANK YOU!! :D
The black paper stuff is quite striking. Those plaques will be really cool
I'm super excited to see what you come up with on the black paper.
Love the orange background skull watercolor!
Thx for the bell! 😂
Lovin' the content. Wondered why you don't have a notification bell?
Thanks Myrna! Not sure what you mean about a notification bell? You'd need to set UA-cam settings to notify you about new content for any of your subscriptions. Hope that helps!!
Love it all! We'll be watching for the next one!
I love love your glass fusing projects!
NOPE! I don’t give two shits if you don’t like your voice... that’s what I’m here for!! I LOVE hearing your descriptions of what you did and how you did it (while we see the photo)... and all the funny stories in between. Fewer photo montages and more Brooke!
I love you Matty. I WILL DO IT FOR YOOOUUUU
