Peter, I am overwhelmed by your caring responses. I am excited at getting involved in this new project, and I will heed your words. Thank you so very much. 🌻

@tarangaanurag791 7 месяцев назад

Thank you 😍 thank you thank you so very much for you review on different adhesive products. I had been searching for some decent adhesive to use on my tiling projects and so after your very informative video I went out and purchased a bottle of PREP. OMG, it is absolutely the BEST adhesive when placing tiles on terracotta pots. It is quick drying so you are not there holding onto the tile for ages, and it is strong. I absolutely LOVE THIS PRODUCT. Thank you once again and you have made this woman very very happy.

What can be used with mirror tiles for indoor and outdoor pieces? What do you use when a mirror is your substrate, is that considered glass on glass? Thank you for all the time and effort you spend sharing your knowledge.

@TreasuryRoad 2 года назад

Thankyou so much and thanks for watching. If you are adhering mirror you need a neutral curing adhesive so the reflective backing isn't effected. You can use silicone but not all silcones are neutral curing so the tube needs to state that. I suppose it could be named glass on glass as thats what it is, however its also glass on mirror. :) Always read the manufactures MSDS on any product you are looking at buying so you can take the necessary safety precautions. Sue Smith You Tube channel has some great videos on adhering to mirror. :)

I would suggest you have a look on Aves website for more information and here's a video I made on using it.

Hi Peter, just found your channel. So much useful information! What are your thoughts on a friend’s advice for an outdoor piece (house number plaque): “Mix 4 parts water with one part Bondcrete. Then mix that with Ceramacrete cement powder, little by little, stirring until consistency of toothpaste.” I’ve only done indoor pieces using Weldbond in the past, so making an outdoor piece which will weather the elements is something I want to get right!

@TreasuryRoad Год назад

Thankyou so much Janelle. I would only be adding an additive to the cement based adhesive if the manufacture recommends to do so which will be on their technical data sheets. It’s alwys wise to consult them first, they are very easy to read and generally on their website. Thanks for watching and commenting. 😊

@aussiebushhomestead3223 7 месяцев назад

Beginner here. Thanks for this great info. I like the idea of Dunlop Tile All as it seems it is less mess to prepare. Can you advise how you would use this in small quantities? Would you decant to a small container, then apply with a knife, while keeping said container closed? (Hope that makes sense?) Thanks again!

@TreasuryRoad 7 месяцев назад

Thankyou so much. When using Dunlop Tile All you can just take out what you need and then reseal everything back. Generally speaking, you can mix it in a small yogurt cup, use a small quantity of the liquid first and then add a small quantity of the other part using a P2 or N95 mask, then mix together. Always read the technical data sheet and safety data sheet before using, they are very easy to read and contain important and accurate info, they are generally available on the manufactures website. Thanks for watching and commenting and enjoy the mosaic journey. :)

@ginasanderson428 2 года назад

Hi Tony, I've just found your channel... slowly going through each video to learn more. Is there one specific to mosaic on plastic? I have plastic mannequins I'd like to mosaic and put in the garden. thanks

@TreasuryRoad 2 года назад

Thankyou Gina. I haven't made a video on plastic or mannequins because there are different types of plastic and the problem with adhering to plastics is the surface tension on many plastics. It repels adhesives, that's why many adhesives will not work with them successfully. The adhesive can be seen as working and some months later or longer the products can fall off, the same with some acrylic paints. Some people just use silicone to adhere directly to a mannequin, using silicones long term is not good for your health as they continue to give off solvents while curing. Others will rough the plastic up and there are other products in the marketplace that can prime some plastics to prep them, there are other methods as well but how good they are long term I don't know and certainly I'm not recommending any of these ideas because there are so many variables. :)

@b.bailey8244 2 года назад

so helpful, and thanks for thinking of your USA audience! If you want to adhere a curved piece onto something and you need to fill in the back of that piece, what would you use? In the US, I have used mastic or thin set. Is the Soudal fixall available in the USA? thanks so much!

@TreasuryRoad 2 года назад

Thankyou and thankyou for watching. Soudal is available in the USA and the product is sold under a different name, I would give Soudal a call to find out what it is. What you use to fill gaps will depend on your job, the size and the look. Generalisng here, Thinset, Apoxie Sculpt, Soudal Crystal Clear Fix All. :)

Thankyou so much Alison. I can’t comment on your project because l have not had any experience with lining the inside of a fireplace. I would definitely be calling Laticrete and asking them, I would have thought thinset would be the way to go but l am guessing here. 😊

We had temperatures of -30c to -40c for a month here in the Canadian Rocky Mountains this year. I was a nervous wreck waiting for customers to report damage to my outdoor pieces. I'm happy to report that not one failed. I love using professional grade cement based adhesives, as well as silicone on GOG. Years ago we used to call the latex-based tile adhesive we used 'mastic'. Funny, I never hear that term anymore. I always stay informed on new products and techniques through you, although I definitely get jealous thinking of you sitting in Australia talking about how cold temps affect adhesives... we know! Love your channel.

@TreasuryRoad 2 года назад

That is awesome that your pieces went well, its always good to over engineer and use professional grade materials to ensure that the pieces will last in your extreme temperatures. For the last few days it has been around 32C here so its very warm. LOL@we know. I think the mastic term was used quite generally but these days there are very specific adhesives that mosaic artists can take advantage of. I am so glad that my videos are helping you and thankyou so much for your support. :)

@trishjordan3008 Год назад

Hi Peter, thank you for the tutorial about adhesives. I was going to use PREP to adhere tiles on an outdoor table. I have waterproofed the marine ply top about 5 times, back and front and side edges. Will PREP be ok to adhere the tiles or should I use a cement-based adhesive? Thank you. Trish

@TreasuryRoad Год назад

Hi Trish. Your biggest problem is the marine ply, avoid using any wood outside including marine ply for mosaics because it interacts with the environment regardless of how much prepping you do. Your mosaic will only be as good as the materials you use. I can’t speak specifically about your job however l would consider using cement sheet or Wedi board or Thermasheet. For the adhesive l would look at a cement based adhesive one that is rated for your tessera. 😊

@trishjordan3008 Год назад

@@TreasuryRoad Thank you, Peter. When I bought the marine ply, I had no intention of doing mosaics on it. But then I got an idea ... and it grew! Yes, well, don't think I will mosaic as it may have a short sojourn on the table! I followed your previous advice about the thermasheet and the box arrived yesterday! Again, thank you, Peter.

@cherylfoster6846 2 года назад

In watching Deborah Halpern work, I see she is always using a black adhesive in a caulking gun. I have never been able to read the label. Wondering if you might know what she is using on her large, exterior sculptures.

@TreasuryRoad 2 года назад

I don't know what she uses, she may use different products on different sculptures. I would just go with an adhesive that best suits the job you're doing and read the technical data sheets which are very easy to read and generally available on the manufactures website. :)

@trishjordan3008 Год назад

Peter, I missed getting the names of the two Laticrete products you mix. What were they, and are they easily available? Thank you, Trish

@TreasuryRoad Год назад

if you are talking about the two product’s that l use to make thinset, l use Laticrete latex additive 4237 and Laticrete Permacolour grout, this is an old technique but it works well for me. The availability will depend on the country you’re in but you can have a look on the Laticrete website or give them a call. Always read the technical data sheets and MSDS before purchasing like any product you will be using.😊

Thank you for all your information. Can you tell me in a 1,2,3 what sealer, adhesive, grout, you would use on a Terra cottage bird bath. Thank you so much. 😊Time is 10.30pm Australia time 28/3/24.

@TreasuryRoad 3 месяца назад

Thankyou very much. I can’t comment specifically about your job but when l am mosaicking a terracotta bird bath bowl l use the following. Laticrete Hydroban which is a waterproofing membrane. I use Laticrete cement based adhesive for the adhesive, one that’s rated for the tessera lm using. For the grout l use Litokol epoxy grout which is waterproof, smoother and doesn’t require sealing but more expensive or Laticrete Permacolour sanded grout. Everyone has their different products that they like to use. Thanks for watching. 😊

@@TreasuryRoad Thank you so very much for taking the time to reply to me. I am a senior lady artist, mainly oil paints on canvas, so I am engrossed in the art world. I decided I would love to do a mosaic bird bath for our garden, but was finding it very confusing re the products to use. I really appreciate your expertise. 😊

@TreasuryRoad 3 месяца назад

Thankyou and my pleasure June. It can be confusing because everyone has their own way of doing mosaics and also the products that they prefer to use. Most products used in the mosaic industry haven't been designed with the mosaic industry in mind but with the tiling industry in mind. The mosaic industry has just adapted them to suit their needs, your art talents will come in handy creating mosaics so that will give you a good head start. Just bear in mind if anyone including myself gives you any information on products always have a read of the technical and safety data sheets, they are very easy to read and generally available on the manufactures website. These will tell you what a product can and cannot do and what safety precautions you need to take because people can suggest products but many are unaware of the risk in using the products that they suggest or they just aren't suitable for your particular project or the environment the mosaic is going into. Join a couple of good Facebook groups such as Mosaics Australia Wide and Mosaic Mentoring and enjoy. :)

@kimcoffee-isaak2921 2 года назад

Did you mention the shelf life of the laticrete products? And do you just add water to the powder when you’re ready to grout?

@TreasuryRoad 2 года назад

Depending on the product you intend to use, I suggest reading the technical data sheets on the Laticrete website, they have that information and will also have information about any other additives and colourants you can use. :)

I love her but I’m writing her out of the will!!

LOL@will. Clearly your niece doesn't understand mosaic artists and the very important necessity to purchase more. That is so frustrating for you especially if the products are only available here. One can only hope that she changes her mind before this catastrophe happens and all hope is lost, oh my goodness. LOL

I am based in Australia, we don't have Walmart here. You may be referring to Aleene's Tacky Glue which is available here but I haven used it, I would suggest reading the technical data sheet on the product as this will let you know what it can and cannot do. I'm really not one for using craft glues for outdoor mosaic projects and how suitable it is is dependent on the project you are using it on and the environment its going to be subjected to. :)
