Stained Glass & Mosaics

repair bb question

16 years ago

Hi all,

My husband and son decided to use my mosaic bb as a door stop when carrying in my very heavy desk today. Of course they knocked it over and a couple of pieces chipped off. How do I repair this so that it will be OK outside? It is mosaiced with shell pieces and some glass globs.

Thanks for any advice.

Repairing mosaics is so easy, fortunately, just as long as you can match the grout color. Mix up a little thinset with water, use it to re-glue any pieces that were knocked off, wait, grout that area, wait, seal, and it's done.
