An alternative solution to mosaic mesh or dog toothing

[area tiling]

Great tip bri , I will give it a go sometime, as I've a lot of cuts lying about

 

[Angel da Silva]

I've got loads of off cuts in the garage so technically it cost me nothing, there's about half a metre there so roughly £3 worth. Makes the mosaic mesh look silly at around £12 per metre. This is my tight git tip of the day :lol:

Even though it goes against my requirement to sell at Topps, I think I may recommend this method to my traders if they find the mesh is too costly. Reckon I'll point them to this post as well haha

Another good method I use is casting the mosaics, back skim the mosaics the day before you use them then leave them face down on a flat surface, the next day you have a solid mosaic tile.

Good one Bri. That's another reason why I keep all sorts of bits and pieces of stuff in the van as you just never know when you may need it. Most common thing I use for packing out mosaics is 4mm marmox.

Great idea I always seem to have strips on ci+ knocking around :hurray:

Did manage to get it nice and flat first? I know that stuff when it's been rolled up tightly it wants to stay that way cracking idea, wonder if it would work with a three stacked mosaic border which is one this weeks tasks.

Bris tip worked a treat.

After seeing this tip a while back I've used it a number of times and so far so good, so cheers Bri.

Bump.

Just doing some bumping up of old decent threads. Don't mind me. Just ignore them if they're not current threads for you.
