When dry, it will peel off the cling wrap
in one piece. Trim off any excess mesh
around the border, to clean it up.
Now you can prepare the wall to place the
mosaic up. Make sure the wall is free of
any loose paint and a flat surface, if not,
then sand it and remove excess dust.
Draw up on the wall the template size of
the mosaic, so you know where to place
the adhesive. If the wall has deep grout
lines, fill these in with adhesive and allow
to dry first. Once you have a flat area,
paste tile adhesive over the area marked
out, not too thick. Use a grout/tiling comb
so that you can be sure all areas have

the correct thickness of adhesive. Make
sure there is enough on the edges, or the
design may come loose over time if water
gets in underneath.
Now you can stick your design up onto the
wall, apply a small amount of pressure all
over, making sure it doesn’t ooze out the
edges or up through the gaps. Once this
is dry, you can grout with a colour of your
choice, I usually suggest grey as it won’t
detract from the design colours. Wipe the
excess off with a squeegee, and sponge.
Once the grout is dry (overnight), you can
wash off the residue. ENJOY!
