Mosaic mesh, used for the direct mesh mosaic method, used with adhesive.

An easy answer for a large, or small, exterior installation. Create the mosaic in your studio on the mesh and transport to the location and install.

You may need to cut the design once on the mesh to make transport and installing easier/ less heavy.

It is also a great way to send a mosaic gift to a friend or community project.  Create the mosaic on the mesh and post with instructions for installation.

How to use:

• Fix your design to a board, cover with clear plastic, then place your mesh over the top and tape it all down so it stays in place while you are working.
• I recommend using a waterproof adhesive to fix your tesserae to the mesh.
• Once dry, peel the plastic from the back, cut off the excess mesh from around the edges and then using a tile adhesive install your mosaic design.
• Leave to dry, grout.
• You can also soak strips in a watered down tile adhesive to cover/wrap and change a shape or to smooth out a textured surface to make it rigid and suitable for mosaic.
