How do you buff a mosaic?
Important Tips
- For a marble mosaic surface, use a special brush with synthetic bristles that don’t impose a scratching threat to your tiles. Scrub gently, not with too much pressure and in circular motions.
- Depending on the type of cleaner and polish you are using you might need some gloves and protective goggles.
What is the best surface to mosaic on?
Sturdy, well-built objects made of metal, wood, terra cotta, or concrete work well as base objects for a mosaic. The decorative mosaic pieces will adhere to just about any surface except items made from flimsy plastics that bend and bow.
What can I use for mosaic backing?
The best all-around mosaic backer is concrete backer board, such as that used in bathrooms as the sub-floor for tile floors. Concrete backer board is cheap, cuts easily, comes in 1/4″ and 1/2″ thick sheets, and is available at almost any building material store.
