It is on the hottest side of the house in rain, snow freezing temperatures, and it has not warped. The grout has not deteriorated. I use Weld Bond as my glue and as a grout sealer. I have glued pieces of Masonite to hold larger screws for really big pieces, 5'X4' mosaic mirror weighing about 30-35 pounds. If you make large pieces make sure to get the thicker Wedi board. It comes in different widths, physics dictates that you use a width that can handle a large piece.MSDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16971821480072773194noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1263560188239759471.post-2914161816187689762012-06-01T09:12:14.466-04:002012-06-01T09:12:14.466-04:00If I am using a Wedi board for Mosaic, What sugges...If I am using a Wedi board for Mosaic, What suggestion do you have for the sides?

Seems difficult because of the rough surface. If there is a way, would you paint the wedi first so the unnatural blue doesn't show through an ungrouted mosaic?<br /><br />If you were using the indirect method, is a Wediboard a good choice for a temporary substrate or only for usevas the permanent substrate?Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13603934852247448557noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1263560188239759471.post-53636695998761517852011-07-25T12:06:45.534-04:002011-07-25T12:06:45.534-04:00What do u use to draw the picture onto the wedi bo...What do u use to draw the picture onto the wedi boardMáirenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1263560188239759471.post-45088821592459436502011-07-04T05:18:52.150-04:002011-07-04T05:18:52.150-04:00If mosaicing on wedi board for an outdoor mosaic t...If mosaicing on wedi board for an outdoor mosaic that is eventually going to attached to a brick wall,can you leave gaps for the washers- then as once the mosaic is attached to the wall you can mosaic over the spare gaps?Geraldinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00428788195428560384noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1263560188239759471.post-59957847181630725422009-08-28T14:53:57.966-04:002009-08-28T14:53:57.966-04:00I have never seen a piece that was warped.
