"rasmus" wrote in message ups.com... The polyester resin sound good, but does it adhere to glass? If you look at any Silicone, or Silastic products, regardless of manufacturer they have one thing in common. They yellow under UV light, so if there is any sunlight exposed to this mosaic object, get ready for it to yellow, radically and obviously. and the surface never gets hard, always the rubbery "feel" to it. Casting resin is neat stuff, here in the US, several years ago, and somewhere they are probably still doing it, Cyprus stumps were made into tables using the resin, brushed onto the stump portion to seal the surface, (bugs were trapped inside?) and the resin was poured over the sliced tree section to create the top, with a smooth as glass surface that was impercious to "moisture rings" that plagued the "good" furniture. The resin will most certainly stick to glass, but what it really is doing is encapulating everything, it fills gaps under your tiles and seales the surface also. Make a small experimental piece and try it. Should be available across the pond, don't know why it wouldn't be. Its a hobby Item. |
