Mini Halloween Glass Mosaic Tile Assortment 10MV Half-Pound (8oz)

The Halloween Tile Mini Mix is a half-pound mix of 3/8-inch vitreous glass tile in black, orange, white, and yellow. This curated assortment contains color numbers 1, 49, 91, and 95 of our Morjo™ Vitreous minis.

These tiles are vitreous glass, but the colors chosen have a solid pigment density. As a result, these tiles have great clarity and opacity. The grooved side bonds adhesive more securely and also makes for easier cutting. Competitively priced yet suitable for fine art, they are also UV resistant and factory certified for commercial exteriors, swimming pools, backsplashes, showers, murals, as well as art-&-craft projects like mosaic stepping stones. For an organized design you can set aside and rework, use a mounting grid.

Mini Halloween Glass Mosaic Tile Assortment 10MV 8oz

  • tile size: 3/8 inch (10mm)
  • thickness: 1/8 nominal (4mm)
  • sales unit: 1/2 pound (~approximately 325 pieces)
  • material: vitreous glass
  • pigments: colorfast, UV resistant
  • durability: frost-proof, impervious to liquid
  • usage: suitable for indoor and outdoor use

Coverage

Each half-pound bag will cover approximately .45 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.

Pique Assiette Porcelain Flats

Pique Assiette Porcelain Flats_Variable Photo_2_OPT

Our Pique Assiette Porcelain Flats are hard durable porcelain pieces fired with classic china patterns for use in traditional pique assiette mosaic work. While most edges are kiln rounded, nearly all bags contain a few broken pieces with sharp edges. Given that, please do not order if handling sharp edges will be an issue. These are equally suitable as cutting stock and as finished tile. Smooth out any sharp edges with a Diamond-Grit File. Product image shows 1/4 kg of material (.55 lb). This amount will cover roughly 4×4 inches (16 sq. in).

Glacier U-Mix 3-Color Assortment 1.5 lbs (1-75-113)

Glacier 12mm penny round assortment

Glacier Thinny-Penny U-Mix 3-Color 12mm Penny Round Assortment is a blue-white bundle of 3 penny tile colors (1/2-lb each) that you mix yourself to create a 1.5-lb assortment. Each 1/2-pound bag contains about 230+ pieces and covers about 1/3 of a square foot with a standard grout gap of 1/16 inch. That means the complete 1.5-lb assortment bundle should contain about 690+ pieces and cover about 1 square foot.

The numbers in the U-Mix assortment name indicate each color in the bundle. This assortment includes: 1-white, 75-ultramarine dark, and 113-ultramarine tint 1.

MORJO™ Thinny-Pennies™ Penny Round Recycled Glass Tiles have a glossy finish, and solid opaque color throughout (not just on the tops or bottoms). Unlike glass gems, another common round tile, Thinny-Pennies™ have a flat and even surface rather than puffed. This makes them much easier to use with other types of glass tile and easier to grout.

Glacier Thinny-Penny U-Mix 3-Color 12mm Penny Round Assortment 1.5-lb

  • glass penny round tile bundle
  • tile size: ~1/2 inch (12mm) diameter
  • thickness: 1/8 nominal (4mm)
  • sales unit: (3) 1/2-lb bags of individual colors
  • yield: 1.5-lb assortment of approximately 690+ tiles
  • material: glass
  • variety: recycled glass
  • shape: circle, penny, flat round
  • pigments: colorfast, UV resistant
  • durability: frost-proof, impervious to liquid
  • usage: suitable for indoor and outdoor use

Coverage

Each complete 1.5-lb tile assortment covers about 1 square foot assuming a standard grout gap of 1/16 inch. Hard, durable, and UV-resistant, it makes great material for commercial exteriors and murals.

Compatibility

Like most of the glass tile we sell, flat penny rounds have a nominal industry-standard thickness of 1/8 inch (4mm). You can use these with other brands of recycled glass and even vitreous glass tile.

Cutting Recycled Glass Thinny-Pennies™

Recycled glass cuts like butter using the Mosaic Glass Cutters without creating a lot slivers or cutting waste.

Grouting Round Tile

Note that dry indoor mosaics do not require grouting, and so for those you can simply mount the tiles tightly together. On the other hand, wet and outdoor mosaics must have grout to prevent water from penetrating behind the tiles. For those, leaving a 1/16-inch gap allows enough grout to adhere between the tiles.

Making Mosaic Art with Penny U-Mixes

U-Mix assortments give artists the unique option to customize their color blend. Use penny tiles to create dotted patterns, curves, flower shapes, and round details. Arrange whole pennies or circular segments into swirls, waves and spirals.

Mosaic Tile Mesh 1 FOOT WIDE 150 ft Roll

mesh-roll-12-inch-wide

Mosaic Tile Mesh is 12 INCHES WIDE and 150 feet long in one continuous UNCUT piece. The mesh is made from woven fiberglass and is the same material that factories use for pre-mounting ceramic tile for rapid installation in walls, floors, and backsplashes. Artists use it in much the same way when laying up large designs, but the mesh is not needed for small mosaic art projects or surfaces such as tables where the tile can be glued directly to the surface.

Fiberglass mounting mesh is most useful for backsplashes and murals and floor medallions and other projects that are large or involve surfaces that can’t be monopolized for long periods of time. In these situations, the mosaic design is laid up on a worktable overs an extended period perhaps involving many different studio sessions, and then the finished design is installed in one session for attaching to the surface and a second session for grouting.

Tip: Even if your design is large, you will probably find it easier to cut the mesh up into 1 ft x 1 ft pieces and lay up your mosaic in these smaller sections. Anything larger than 3 ft x 3 ft is just too heavy and unwieldy to mount on a vertical surface.

Product Specifications

  • material: woven fiberglass mesh
  • unit weight: 4.3 oz/square meter (standard weight used for tile mounting)
  • width: 12 inches
  • length: 150 ft
  • alkali resistant
  • for use with glue or thinset.
  • Use a white PVA adhesive such as Weldbond to attach tiles to the mesh.

How to Use Mosaic Tile Mesh

Glue

Use a white PVA adhesive such as Weldbond to attach tiles to the mesh.

To avoid gluing your mesh to your work table, you should use a plastic table or cover the tray in plastic. Construction plastic or coroplast from the building store should work. If you have an old politician or real estate agent plastic advertisement sign from the side of the road you can probably use one of those.

Outdoor and Wet Installation

For outdoor and wet mosaics, it is best to avoid mesh and use mounting paper or mounting tape to temporarily face-mount the mosaic so that it can be pressed into thinset mortar without a layer of mesh and glue on the bottom. This is particularly important when your tiles are small. Mesh can be used in wet locations if glue is used sparingly and your tiles are large enough to safely cover the glue.

If you will be installing the mosaic outdoors or in a wet location, avoid completely covering the bottom of the tile with glue and keep the glue toward the center of the tiles. Leave the outer edges bare to bond directly to the thinset mortar used in final installation. Be careful not to get glue up the sides of the tile. If adhesive isn’t covered with grout, then water can wick underneath the grout over time and cause tiles to pop off. You should inspect the sheet of excess glue by misting it before it is installed. Any traces of glue on the sides and faces of the tile will start to turn white after a few minutes of being misted with water. Use a knife to scrape away any glue residues you see coming up the sides of the tile to face of the tile.

Working Size and Sections

Mesh covered with tile can be heavy and unwieldy, especially when mounted to a wall. You can lay strips of mesh side-by-side if you need a wider piece, but don’t try to vertically mount a one-piece mosaic larger than 3 foot x 3 foot. The standard practice is to lay up the mosaic on 1 foot x 1 foot pieces of mesh and match up the different sections when the mosaic is installed. Floor medallions 3 foot x 3 foot are sometimes made on one piece of mesh, but even though these are mounted horizontally, it still requires that the mosaic be carried on a piece of plywood and slid into place.

Final Mounting

To mount mesh sheets of mosaic to your surface, thinset mortar or adhesive should be spread on the surface with 1/4-inch notched trowel. We “butter” the bottom of the sheet with a little bit of the same adhesive in a thin coat before pressing the sheet into place. Make sure you allow the thinset or adhesive to cure for at least 24 hours before attempting to grout because grouting is a physical process that can easily knock tiles loose from uncured mounting.

Compatibility

The mesh is not used with tiles 3/8-inch or smaller because the holes in the mesh and the ridges on the bottoms of most glass tile make it difficult for small tile to sit level. For small tiles, you should use mounting paper to temporarily FACE-mount the tiles upside down. The product description for our mounting paper explains how that is done.

Use in Concrete Sculpture

The fiberglass mesh can also be used with other materials to make concrete sculptures for covering in mosaic.
