I'm ready to grout my first GOG

18 years ago

This is the first GOG I ever made . I made two of them -- both the same ,because the weldbond just would not dry on the first one . The second one I used E-6000 . I put them away and couldn't find them for months ~~ LOL ~~ I finally found them today . (I'd lose my head if it wasn't attached ) This is a "freesian horse" cut out on the ring saw. I'm thinking light grey grout ( ? )

    How cool is that?

    You may know this trick, but I'll pass it along
    for others, and shame I can't remember who to credit
    for introducing me.

    While your project is still not grouted, assuming the
    adhesive is completely dry, simply spread dry grout
    in a small section and look at it from different angles.
    Keep in mind it will likely be darker once you mix it
    and actually apply it.

    I've used the dry grout method many times to help figure
    out which color to use, and glad I did.

    Also, provided your adhesive choice was E-600 or
    Bond / Beacon 527, you could actually mix a tiny amount
    of grout as you should, smear it in and then you will
    have a much better idea. Don't like it? Rinse it out
    with water and allow your project to thoroughly dry
    before trying another color.

    Just a few ideas.

    Let us know what you end up using, love to see pix!

    The horse is one piece ! LOL I gave my ring saw a workout doing 2 horses.

    Holy smokes!! That is some nice!! I'm grout-colour challenged on this one, but that comes as no surprise to me. Looking at it, the gray would look nice, maybe a medium hue to make the clear really pop with the horsey? :O)

    So what's the name of the horse? After all, we have Sammy the salmon, Erin the heron...

    Holy Horse Snot!!

  • 18 years ago

    wow! you must have hands of steel! That is amazing cutting and love it. I think light grey would look great or a greyish blue.

  • 18 years ago

    Holy Horse Snot, indeed!! IMPRESSIVE cutting! Can't wait for warmer weather so I can start practicing with my saw!
    The head and the mane look darker than the rest, looks cool, but how'd ya do that??

  • 18 years ago

    Sammy the Salmon, Erin the Heron, must be Morris the Horse! Or is it Horace the Horse?

    Yep, gray grout. I considered red, or white, but I think grey, however you spell it :)

    TMG, Excellent job with the cutting! Grout them puppies!!! Once you grout, you'll be totally addicted! It's my fav part!!!

  • 18 years ago

    Wow! Great job cutting on the ring saw! Did you draw this horse or pattern or what? And two of them! It's beautiful.

  • 18 years ago

    You are an amazing glass cutter!! I love the piece, but I have no idea on the grout.

    I can't believe what an awesome job you did cutting that with your ring saw!
    Sorry, no grout help though.

    Wow, wow, wow. Maybe I do need a ring saw! I would love to do one of these for my DD who is friesian nuts. I think it needs a Dutch name as these guys came from Holland. What intricate work. Great job.

    Like everyone else - wow on the cutting skills. Didn't know you can cut things like that - I just wish I didn't have shaky hands.

  • 18 years ago

    Well giddy-up! Blown away with the cutting skill.....really great! Anxious to see this grouted!!

  • 18 years ago

    My first thought was red grout. Nice cutting, indeed. Thanks, WUVIE for the grout tip - very useful - wish I'd known about that when I was into colors - now it's grey, black or dark green.

  • 18 years ago

    Great cutting job, it'll look good no matter what color you grout, but I think grey would look great,

  • 18 years ago

    Maybe I should get better at the "newbie" stuff first!
    ooooh...cant wait to see it grouted!
