How to mosaic

1. Prepare the Surface:

   Firstly, ensure that the surface where you plan to install the mosaic tiles is clean, dry, and free from any debris or dust. So, if necessary, sand down uneven surfaces and apply a primer suitable for the material.
   Here are a few recommended products that can assist you with this step:

   • • Hamilton’s Fine Floor Sanding Paper | P100, 1m
     • Hamilton’s Medium Floor Sanding Paper | P80, 1m
     • Hamilton’s Course Floor Sanding Paper | P60, 1m
     • Hamilton’s X-Course Floor Sanding Paper | P40, 1m
     • Hamilton’s Mutton Cloth 400g
     • Hamilton’s Skrew Fit Broom

2. Plan the Design:

• • Secondly, lay out the mosaic tiles on the surface without adhesive to visualise the design and pattern you want to create. Therefore, you can use a pencil to lightly mark the layout if needed.

• • Alternatively, you can also place the mosaic on a mosaic mesh backing. Thus, eliminating the need for pencil markings. Even so, if you are using a mosaic mesh that has not been applied to the tiles as of yet, lay the tiles upside down on a flat surface with even spacing using tile spacers. Then, use a glue adhesive to stick the tiles to the mesh backing and wait to dry.
    Here are a few recommended products that can assist you with this step:

• • • Alcolin Wood Glue 500ml
    • Alcolin Wood Glue 5l
    • Mesh Mosaic 1.5m X 1m Tile Backing

3. Cut Tiles if Necessary:

   Thirdly, use a tile cutter or nippers to trim tiles to fit around edges, corners, or obstacles. If you are using mesh backing, it is recommended to first Nip/cut the tile before sticking to the mesh backing.
   Here are a few recommended products that can assist you with this step:

• • • Mosaic Tile Nipper Large Gold Wheels
    • Mosaic Tile Nipper

4. Prepare the Adhesive:

   Then, mix the appropriate adhesive according to the manufacturer’s instructions. For small projects, a ready-to-use adhesive can also be used.
   Here is a recommended product that can assist you with this step:

• • • Alcolin Easy-Tiler Ceramic Tile Adhesive

5. Apply the Adhesive:

   Using a trowel or a putty knife, spread a thin layer of adhesive onto a small section of the surface. Then, work in small areas to prevent the adhesive from drying out before you can place the tiles.
   Here is a recommended product that can assist you with this step:

• • • Hamilton’s Professional Multi-tool Scrapper

6. Place the Tiles:

   So, carefully press each mosaic tile into the adhesive, following the design you planned earlier. In addition, use tile spacers if necessary to maintain even spacing between the tiles. As you place each tile, ensure they are aligned correctly and adjust as needed to maintain straight lines and consistent spacing.

7. Grout the Tiles:

   Once all the tiles are in place and the adhesive has dried according to the manufacturer’s instructions, it’s time to apply grout. Mix the grout and apply it with a rubber grout float, pressing it into the gaps between the tiles at a 45-degree angle.
   Here is a recommended product that can assist you with this step:

• • • Spreader & Grouter Tool

8. Clean Excess Grout:

   After applying the grout, use a damp sponge to gently wipe away excess grout from the surface of the tiles. Then, rinse the sponge frequently in clean water to prevent smearing.

9. Final Cleanup:

   So, once the grout has dried to the touch, buff the tiles with a dry cloth to remove any remaining grout residue and polish the tiles.

10. Enjoy Your Mosaic:

    Finally, allow the adhesive and grout to cure completely according to the manufacturer’s recommendations before using or sealing the surface. So, once cured, your mosaic tile project is complete and ready to be admired!

11. Seal the Grout:

    Additionally, to protect the grout from stains and moisture, apply a grout sealer according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
    Here are a few recommended products that can assist you with this step:

• • • Grout Seal 1L
    • TFC Mosaic Tile Sealer 400ml
