wasser wasser everywhere, January 18, 2011 5 stars
Pros
wasser is unlike any glass...specially this heavy gold. looks smooth but will have a beautiful crackle effect upon fusing.love it!!		 Cons
careful...wasser fuses at very low temp. when combining with bullseye, wasser shrinks and sometimes distort image.		 Other Thoughts
fuse a full sheet of wasser on top of a sheet of bullseye clear, full fuse. this helps with shrinkage, then go ahead and cut as usual.

November 22, 2010

to prepare a metal table for mosaic, you will need to add plywood or greenboard to the top...glass does not stick well on metal. next mix some elmers white glue with water and brush on the wood. this makes it water resistant. mosaic as usual and grout. seal with a good waterproof sealer. find this at a swimming pool tile supply store. mine has withstood the elements for over 10 years. good luck, ani
