Subject: Exterior Mosaic project
I
am working on a large 3' x 6' exterior glass tile mosaic. I thought I'd
adhere it to backer board, working flat, then mount that to the wall
for final placement. I was thinking of using your No Days Mesh, as I
position the tiles. Then use Weldbond glue to adhere it to the backer
board. Grout and seal. Now I am wondering if I should just use your
Mosaic Adhesive Film. Would that product work on what will be hung
vertically and be outdoors permanently?
Thanks for your help.
Thank you! Looking forward to using this. How long has this product been available?

| Should I use No Days Mosaic film or Mosaic Mesh? |
Hi, L :)
The mesh was meant to be mounted with mortar or thinset. I would suggest
using the No Days Mosaic Adhesive Film if you'll be working directly on
backerboard and then mounting. The adhesive only activates (or
reactivates) at 160 degrees F, which is well above outdoor temperatures.
The freeze thaw cycle doesn't affect it either.Carrie

Hi, there! Carrie, here... Not only do I travel the country teaching folks how to use No Days adhesives (and other techniques), but I also answer customer support emails about using No Days. So, if you're having an issue with the adhesives, chances are good that I'll be answering your questions! Since I get so many good questions, I thought it might be a great learning opportunity for people that may be having some of the same issues but haven't thought to email us. Don't worry, I'll keep the emails anonymous! Also, don't forget that we've got a lot of really fabulous videos (I put those together, too...) on our YouTube channel. So for those of you who are visual learners (umm...we're visual artists, right?), you may want to check them out! If you've got questions, feel free to contact us at info@streuter.com. |
