No. 18. Grouting.
There are 19 mini films in this series from 'Getting Started' to 'Grouting and Polishing Your Completed Mosaic.'
In each film will take you step by step through my process for making these bright and cheerful glass mosaics. Using mirror as a base reflects light back through the beautiful colours of the glass which then change shade according to the atmosphere. Once completed your flower mosaic will be 100% weatherproof.

Thank you for all the lessons! I really like your dry method to remove the grout it's so much faster and cleaner! Beautiful piece!

@SueSmithGlassMosaics 2 года назад

I am glad you find it easier. Most of us hate grouting so any way to make it less messy is high my list!

Here is another video showing the grout recipe. You can see I’ve written the ingredients down to make it more visible, Sue ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-odUxiNFh6bg.html .

@staceymccalpin1685 Год назад

Very helpful. I am going to try the dry wipe grout technique...because wow, what a difference that would make with clean up!!! I am also excited to try the clear silicone for the glue. One question, how did you hang this piece?

@SueSmithGlassMosaics Год назад

Hi Stacey, when you use this method for grouting if you get any on the floor just leave it, let it dry and then sweep it up. If a damp cloth is used it will turn the black (or which ever colour you use) into a dye. Once you’re done just sweep everything away. It saves all that problem of trying to get rid of wet grout. There are different ways to display these but I have long metal display spikes made which can be pushed into the ground. I now sell them in my online shop along with sets of my mirror clips for wall display. You can also fix them to a wooden ground stake.

@sandrafenton1207 3 года назад

sorry I think I may have missed it, how long do you leave the mosaic before you grout? Love watching, beautiful design

@SueSmithGlassMosaics 3 года назад

Best to leave it for a minimum of 24 hours.

@fenton_cornucopia 3 года назад

This is such a useful series, thanks Sue. I've watched most of them a few times and is my go-to reference! I've now done a few little glass on glass mosaics but however careful I am with gluing, I always seem to get some bleed of the dark grout showing through under clear glass. How do I make sure that the glue is thick enough to not leave gaps under the glass, but not so thick that it comes to high up the sides of the glass? Any tips? Thanks.

@SueSmithGlassMosaics 3 года назад

Hi Lesley, could be several things that are causing the problem. 1 you’re not not using enough glue under the piece of glass. 2 If the glass is textured or not perfectly flat this can create air bubbles. Usually, Cathedral glass or restoration glass is uneven and not perfectly flat, this it’s made to look old. When I use this type I cut it up into small pieces so it’s much easier to push the air bubbles out. 3 Your pieces of coloured glass are too big and you’re not able to push out all the air bubbles. When you put the piece of glass down you should be able to wiggle a little bit to help get those air bubbles and the excess glue out. Then you can use a small clean brush or a tool and remove the squished out glue that is around each piece of stained glass tessera.

I’m very happy to hear you’re finding them helpful. 😁

@fenton_cornucopia 3 года назад

@@SueSmithGlassMosaics Thank you, Sue. I think I need to use more glue but then take the time to clean around each piece. Patience is in short supply around here!!

@libwade5350 Год назад

What are the substrate dimensions Sue?

@SueSmithGlassMosaics Год назад

This one was 12 x76cm but you can use any size or shape

@conniejean70 Год назад

Tell me about the mirror base. Where do you buy them? Do you have them made specifically for you?

@SueSmithGlassMosaics Год назад

No I don't have them made specially for my work. You can buy mirror from a glass and glazing company and either cut it yourself or they will do it for you, just order the size you want. Sue

What is the brand name for the three brushes?

@SueSmithGlassMosaics 3 года назад

I don’t buy a particular brand.

@joelterickson3283 2 года назад

Sue what is you cover the table with for a working service? It looks like a lite styrafoam sheeting?

@SueSmithGlassMosaics 2 года назад

It’s is. It is used as underlay for laminate floor boards. It’s perfect for this work and being waterproof you can wash it down.

@Barbara-tf3rj 3 года назад

What if a few pieces dislodge during grouting? Do I glue again and wait 24 hours to regroup?

@rchambers1993 3 года назад

Did you put anything on the glass to make the grout stay?

@kategreenway5930 2 года назад

What are the brushes? Are they kitchen brushes, shoe brushes? Where would I get them?

@SueSmithGlassMosaics 2 года назад

Hi Kate, I use all sorts of wire brushes but the one used in these videos are softer than the type you would clean the barbecue with. I don’t know what country you are in so cannot recommend a store but most hardware stores should have them. Are usually come in a set of three a steel, brass, and nylon.

@@kategreenway5930 no problem. I don’t know which department but they are used for so many different jobs. Here is a link to Amazon Canada which shows the type I use. Sue www.amazon.ca/ref=navm_hdr_logo
