Making "Canis Major" - Mosaic Art w/Broken Glass and Ceramic Tiles

Those purple-magenta Northern Lights that were seen so far south of their norm, a few months ago (May, 2024), really mesmerized me! I didn't see them in person, but when I saw pics, I let out a little howl, like the sky was calling my inner wild beastie. :) I bought the ceramic canines at a tileworks in Tucson: Santa Theresa Tileworks many years ago.

Grout Refresh on Old Stepping Stones #grout #diypatio #steppingstones
Просмотров 1832 месяца назад
FAQ: Will the color fade? Yes, eventually the paint color will fade. At that time, you can either re-do your colorwash, or give the grout another application of a penetrating grout sealer like 511 Impregnator. What grout is this? Most of the time, I used polymer-fortified sanded grout brand: Custom. This type of grout is perfect for this colorwash technique. Some of them have Mapei Flexcolor, w...

    • @SusanCrocenzi
      @SusanCrocenzi 15 дней назад

      I have never tried that, Carol. I doubt it would work, since the grout gets pretty saturated w/ the paint and probably won't suck any additional stuff up. The other thing that may happen is the 511 might change the paint (erode it, react in some negative way w/the paint). I kinda feel that it's an either/or situation. Either use the proper sealant (511) or throw caution to the wind and use the colorwash technique.

      Hi, and thanks for your feedback!! Since I don't really know about adhesives in Europe, I'd just suggest you find a thick clear adhesive. If you're making a piece for outdoors, find one that is waterproof. Some name brands in the US are: GE Silicone 2, Lexel, Loctite Clear, I think Gorilla Glue makes a clear adhesive ...

    • @SusanCrocenzi
      @SusanCrocenzi 2 месяца назад

      Thanks!! This colorwash takes the place of a penetrating grout sealer like 511 Impregnator. I could have just re-applied the 511, but it doesn't change the color of grout. Best practice is to use the "proper" sealer, but I'm perfectly fine with opting for a more "decorative" finish. PS: the paint will probably fade after awhile, depending on how much sun it gets. At that point, I can either put more colorwash on it, or re-apply the 511 penetrating sealer. Hope that makes sense!

Whatever it is, I would def do a sample board to see if the sealer degrades the pc in any way…? Other than that, the only other thing I can think of would be to be very tidy when you apply it to the grout. Use a small paintbrush and apply it ONLY on the grout. Hope this helps!
