Where do you get those large vitreous tiles? I’m new to mosaic and have never seen them before 😍

[@SonjaMosaics]

In Australia from 19 Mosaics online store

[@Lorraines3DPrints]

Would this work for the 20mm tiles or is it just best doing 1 petal per tile ?

[@SonjaMosaics]

Yes, just smaller and the number of petals might change.

Hi Sonja, love your tip with the tape to keep the flower petals in place. Do you then glue them down like that and when do you remove the tape?

[@SonjaMosaics]

yes. I wait for the glue to mostly dry - it’s generally between 12 - 24 hours and I remove it gently befor it cures.

[@liaradocchia2691]

@@SonjaMosaics Thanks Sonja. Can I also ask you for the name of the glue you use? I've haven't seen a black glue and the way you apply it is so neat! I tend to make a mess and find it hard to clean up afterwards.🤪

[@SonjaMosaics]

I use black silicone glue. it’s an Australian one called Selley’s Marine Flex

[@queensweet5900]

Details about Glue adhesive ? And its attribute?

[@SonjaMosaics]

I prefer Selleys Marine Flex and the manufacturers data sheets are available online at their website

[@queensweet5900]

These tiles are made of glass ..no clay ..as many pool tiles are made from clay
