Coverage

Each 1-pound bag will cover approximately .90 square feet assuming a standard grout gap of approximately 1/32 inch. Most Mosaic Mounting Paper is 1.15 square feet and requires 841 tiles (29 tiles x 29 tiles). Use our tile estimator to calculate how much you need for your project.

Compatibility

Tile thickness is 1/8 inch nominal, the same as most of the glass mosaic tile we sell, which means that these can mix and match with other types and brands.

Cutting Glass Tile

We recommend the Mosaic Glass Cutter for cutting all types of glass mosaic tile including these. Note, however, that there is a limit to how small they can be cut. Due to their tapered edges, small pieces will tend to tip over. We advise cutting halves, quarters, and diagonal triangles, and not much smaller than that. For creating outlines and other details, check out our Rectangle Border Tiles or our Outliners Mosaic Sticks™.

Mounting Tiles

Weldbond adhesive works well for mounting dry indoor mosaics. However, for outdoor and wet mosaics, use thinset mortar.

Use in Mosaic Art

The affordability, ease of use and durability of these tiles makes them suitable for children’s crafts projects and outdoor home décor. The pigment quality lends itself equally well to photorealistic mosaic images and fine art. The advantage of this material is that you can use tiles from different manufacturers if you find you need additional colors.

Imitation WHITE Gold Mosaic Tile SALVAGE Mix 1 Pound

Imitation WHITE Gold Bulk Cutting StripsImitation WHITE Gold Tile 20mm Salvage Mix 1 Pound This salvage assortment includes 1 pound of mostly 20mm imitation WHITE gold tile strips and loose pieces. Some mixes may include 10mm tiles. As a salvage product, incidental damage such as chipped corners and scratches may be present. Limited quantity!

CAUTION: Sharp Edges and Slivers May Be Present

Imitation WHITE Gold Mosaic Glass tile is SILVER (Ag) alloy leaf fused under hand-cut glass mounted on removable clear film. These are what some competitors are selling as real gold mosaic (shame, shame), but they are great for what they are: a beautiful and economical alternative to real gold mosaic. These are hand-cut tiles, but they are fairly square and uniform for the most part, although some are slightly irregular in shape. Note that the backs are coated with a yellow epoxy to inhibit oxidation from tarnishing the silver foil.

Imitation WHITE Gold Tile Bulk Salvage Mix

  • tile size: mostly 3/4 inch (20mm)
  • thickness: 1/8 nominal (4mm)
  • sales unit: 1 lb mix of strips and loose tiles
  • material: glass fused over SILVER alloy leaf
  • variety: molded tile
  • colorfast, UV resistant
  • durability: frost-proof, impervious to liquid
  • usage: suitable for indoor and outdoor use

Compatibility

These tiles mix well with most brands of 3/8 inch mosaic tile because their thickness is 1/8 inch nominal (4mm), which is a common industry standard. BUT, keep in mind that these hand-cut tiles do not have beveled edges like molded tile, which means they will not fit into mounting grids as deeply as the molded tile.

Cutting Imitation WHITE Gold Mosaic Glass

Cut Imitation Gold Mosaic Glass into halves, quarters, triangles and irregular shapes using our Mosaic Glass Cutter.

Use in Mosaic Art

These make an attractive and affordable alternative to real gold.

SPARDUSTER™ v2.0 Small Parts Dust Remover Vacuum Attachment

sparduster-economy-shop-built-900

SPARDUSTER™ v2.0 Small Parts Dust Remover Vacuum Attachment is THE indispensable cleaning tool for any studio or workshop that uses many bins of small parts. Within seconds, remove glass dust and slivers from your glass mosaic cutting piles and storage jars WITHOUT sucking up and losing a single tile. This attachment transforms your vacuum hose from an eater of tiny pieces to a practical tool for cleaning small parts with minimal effort.

  • Remove pet hair and dust from pails of tiny parts in seconds!
  • Clean glass dust and slivers from thousands of tile pieces in less time than it takes to get out the vacuum!
  • Quickly gather up spilled beads, screws, and tiles without searching for individual pieces!
  • Remove dust and allergens from Legos and other floor toys you thought you would never have time to clean!
  • Never lose another small part to your vacuum!
  • Get years of use! The screen is replaceable and comes with spare material for making replacement screens.
“I don’t know how I managed my mosaic studio before I invented this. Clean ups went from dreaded chores of a half an hour or more to being less than two minutes of causal effort.” -Joe Moorman, inventor of SPARDUSTER and winner of Nobel and Pulitzer Prizes in Making PVC-Pipe Shop Crap

This 2.0 version of the Sparduster is a shop-built tool with rough finish and random cosmetic blemishes. The tool was redesigned for a more affordable price.

SPARDUSTER™ v2.0 Small Parts Dust Remover Vacuum Attachment

SPARDUSTER™ v2.0 was designed for standard size vacuum hoses (~1.6125 inches internal diameter), but it can easily be used with larger hoses, such as 2 inch shop-vacuum hoses by tying a rag around the tube before insertion.

This attachment is constructed from PVC plastic for long life. The fiberglass screen is replaceable and comes with 4 replacement screens. The openings in the screen are 2mm.

  • housing: PVC plastic
  • screen: fiberglass mesh, 2mm openings
  • maintenance: press-fit collar for replacing screens
  • length: 8 inches
  • outer diameter head: 1.7 inches
  • outer diameter insert tube: 1.3 inch
  • inner diameter: 1.189 inch
  • attachment method: none other than vacuum pressure
  • This is a shop-built tool with rough finish and random cosmetic blemishes

American Made

This tool is made in America by a company staffed exclusively by working artists.

How To Use SPARDUSTER™ Small Parts Dust Remover

Use the SPARDUSTER™ Small Parts Dust Remover as an attachment with a household vacuum or shop vac with a hose of 2 inches in diameter or less. Avoid using with high-powered shop vac (at least for long periods) because the air restriction may damage the vacuum’s motor.

Reverse It On The Hose To Clean Off Screen

Only vacuum pressure holds this attachment in your vacuum cleaner’s hose. There is no mechanism to disengage so that you can quickly pull the attachment out if parts block the screen and your vacuum’s motor starts to strain. You also need to periodically pull the attachment out and reverse it on the hose to clean off all the hair and lint it collects.

Gathering Spilled Parts

Small parts will stick to the screen. Simply hold SPARDUSTER™ over a container and pull it out of the vacuum hose, and the parts magically drop into the container.

WARNING: Don’t Strain Vacuum’s Motor

If you hear your vacuum’s motor straining (making a higher pitch sound than normal) as if the hose is blocked, then pull the SPARDUSTER™ out of the hose. Use good judgment and help your vacuum last for years. Clean the SPARDUSTER™ screen frequently by reversing it in the hose.

SAFETY: Use Hearing Protection

High-powered vacuum cleaners such as the larger shop vacs can make the air roar through the attachment, and thus ear protection may be warranted. However, you should already be wearing hearing protection (such as a simple pair of ear plugs) when running shop vacs. In our experience, the attachment is not as loud as the vacuum being used to power it.

Making Screens Last

A screen can last a long time if you don’t abuse it. Don’t force the attachment into loose parts like a stirring stick. Instead, shake the container a few times or lean it from side to side to expose new materials. Dump deeply-filled containers out into a pan to spread out the materials, make a few passes with the attachment, and then pour the pan back into the original container.

Replacement Screens

Replace worn screens BEFORE you start sucking up parts. The unit comes with enough screen mesh to cut 4 replacement filters.

Diamond Jigsaw Blade 3″

Diamond Jigsaw Blade

This tool cuts ceramic and porcelain up to 5/16-inch (under 5mm) thick. Thicker dinnerware and stone can be cut using the compound tile nipper. The offset tile nipper can be used to cut recycled glass tile, but it is not recommended for that purpose. The blades are curved which can lead to irregular cuts on stone or marble.

Safety and Cutting Tile

  • Always wear safety glasses with side shields when using the blade.
  • Always wear an N95 Mask when using any jigsaw, and cut outdoors to prevent dust build-up.
  • Make sure that you don’t cut glass around people who are not wearing safety glasses. Flying chips could potentially hit their eyes as easily as yours.
  • This tool is meant for thick ceramic and porcelain tiles and dinnerware.
  • Be aware that cutting tile can produce sharp tiny slivers. Never sweep off a work surface with your bare hand. Use a vacuum or counter brush.

Product Specifications for Diamond Jigsaw Blade

  • brazed diamond bonding
  • 2 inch long cutting surface
  • fits most electric jigsaws
  • 0.25″ t-shank attachment point
  • QEP model # 10585
