Outside mosaic mural

Mrs Farmer

Want to do an outdoor mosaic on a cement wall using pieces of broken tiles. Can anyone tell me what I use to stick the tiles to the cement and then do I have to glaze/varnish it with something to make it weatherproof?

If you don't get a definite reply you could try asking in DIY. I would imagine the kind of waterproof tile adhesive/grout that is used in wet rooms would do the job though. You should not need to do more than grout them.

Thanks for that,will keep a watch out in the hope that I get contact from someone who has done one, as I find the people in the DIY waffle a bit as they don't know for sure what will work or not.

I put mosaic tiles on a garden shed a few years ago. It just used regular grout (the one you can stick the tiles with as well as grout with). It stayed up with no problem

Is this the kind of thing you are talking about? I suggest you contact either the Before/After thread or the people who posted:
