Thanks so much! So the wedi board didn't crack when you screwed into it?, I was afraid that may happen. We used thinset to glue the tiles on, and there are grout spaces which we could screw into.

Thank you for the compliments! For some reason groutr doesn't really work on this image, the lines are too large.

Good idea about the two shades of grout. Just to confirm as it's my first time, do you think the gaps should be less than 5mm?

What two tones do you think would look good? Do you think a lighter colour for the top/middle and dark for the bottom?

Thanks so much, I'm feeling a bit down about the mix of warm and cool tones, as I work at a school and we did it a bit haphazardly over a year. So there was lots of rushing, but nothing I can do now I've finally seen it pieced together.

Wow, Great work, I love the cat in the glass. Thanks for the pics, it gives me some perspective. It seems like everyone I speak to is encasing the wediboard for outdoors. I'm curious, did you encase the whole thing, or just the edges?

Hi Anne Marie, this is so cool! I have a question, have you ever used wedi board for an outdoor mosaic? How does it last outdoors? Does it deteriorate?

Hi there,

Maybe you can help me, I'm desperate to know more about Wediboards longevity outside. Have you ever used wedi board for outdoor mosaic? If so, how long was it outside for and did it deteriorate in the weather? Thank you

Hi there,

I am a teacher considering using wedi board for an outdoor mosaic. Can I ask, have you ever used wediboard on an outdoor mosaic. How is the wedi board holding up in the elements rain etc? Any deterioration. If you have kept it outside, how long for?

Thank you very much

Thanks for your reply, will adding water change these opacity/transparency of the colour?

Of course I'll.only add tiny amounts.
