How to grout glass mosaic art. The first step in the mosaic process is to find a rigid surface to mosaic. If your mosaic is made with glass or porcelain tile it should be fine with a regular tile and grout sealer which are invisible pore sealers and not coatings. Mix the grout for two minutes allow it to set for 10 minutes and then mix it again for an additional minute.

Weldbond and grout bond to glass but the problem with a glass backer is that is either to thin or two heavy. Cover the sides of the wood with painters tape to prevent grout stains. Use two containers of colour mix of the same colour and add it to your grout.

Tile mastic available at your local hardware store works on all of these surfaces. The dust generated in this process is very fine and can spread all over the place thats why its best to do this outside. Make sure that you use the correct type of glue for each surface.

In this experiment I dont want to use standard grout on my Glass on Glass Mosaic vase so I attempt to use a clear silicone sealant grout technique instead. Wipe away excess grout with a mostly dry sponge. Press the grout in thoroughly and wipe away the excess.

If you do grout. Sorry for so many. Then make repeated passes with a damp sponge not dripping wet.

And your mosaic would always be vulnerable to breaking. If you dont mix enough grout you can always mix some more. Rinse sponge and repeat as needed.
