Hello, anyone know what the best materials are to use for securing China chards for water feature mosaic for garden? I am new to this, never having done mosaics before, but, have aquired broken pieces of beautiful china from my grandmothers discontinued china business, and would like to make them into a mosaic water fountain feature for the garden. If you could tell me what to use and t he best place to get it, it would be much appreciated.

I would think silicone would be best. Like the stuff used to seal aquariums, ya know? That's what I use to secure parts together in my fountains. Never had one fall apart yet... *knocks on wood*

I use the premixed thin set from Lowes. They told me it is water resistant/proof and is what people use to lay ceramic tile in showers etc.
