Description
Yellow Dotted Lampwork Glass Beads are large and chunky and sold in 4 ounce assortments of approximately 28+ pieces. These beads are competitively priced by weight for use in mosaic art, but the diameters of most of these beads are 1/2 inch or more, which means they best pressed into mortar or concrete instead of being glued to a flat surface.
Product Coverage
This is a problematic question because beads was intended to be used as an accent instead of as area coverage, and the piece size can vary. One 4-ounce assortment covers roughly 3+ square inches.
Compatibility
The Yellow Dotted Lampwork Glass Beads are usually 3/8 inch or larger in diameter, which is thicker than mosaic of the glass mosaic tile we sell. For this reason, these beads are best used by pressing into a bed of thinset mortar or a stepping stone mold filled with concrete.
Cutting Yellow Dotted Lampwork Glass Beads
These beads are too large to be cut using a Mosaic Glass Cutter because they won’t fit into the jaws. These beads are best used uncut.
