Mosaic Garden Table Instructions

➤ Step 1:

First of all, you should cover the frame of the table with masking tape to protect it from dirt.

➤ Step 2:

Prepare the tile adhesive and then apply it to the tabletop with a smoothing trowel. Then comb through the mass with a toothed spatula.

➤ Step 3:

If you want a special pattern, you should sketch it out on the table. Simply scratch the tile adhesive with a pointed object. Of course, you can also lay the mosaic tiles as you wish.

➤ Step 4:

Now place the mosaic tiles on the tabletop from the outside inwards. How big the distance between the tiles should be,you have to decide. However, it should not be smaller than two millimeters. A vernier caliper can help to always keep the same gap.

After laying the tiles, let everything dry for about 5 hours.

➤ Step 5:

Now it's time to grout the gaps. To do this, you need to take the squeegee and grout and spread it on the table until all the joints are filled.

➤ Step 6:

The mass that is on the tiles should then be wiped off immediately with the help of a little water and a sponge. Then wipe the tiles again with a cotton cloth.

➤ Step 7:

Now let your table dry well. Then remove the masking tape from the edge of the table and your beautiful mosaic garden table is ready.
