Tips & Tricks

Many mosaic tiles are made for pools using the tradition mesh backing. Time has shown though that the mesh can disintegrate causing tiles to come loose, so a new system was employed - the hot glue melt system.  How does it affect the way we mosaic?  The short answer is, it doesn't.

I've had a few enquiries as to how to get the tiles off the paper backing they are attached to, so I thought I'd post a quick run through.
