I was given my grandmother's birdbath after she passed away and I would like to mosaic it. I have been collecting a lot of fun stufff to use and reading lots of books and forums like this one. I love it and hope to try a Bowling ball after I do the birdbath.
My question is ... Do I need to clean the cement birdbath with anything before I begin adhering the tiles and such to it? Also exactly what do I seal it with when I am finished? I am planning this as winter project so I can put it out in Spring 2010.
Definitely clean it real good first. Scrub it with a good stiff brush and any cleaner that has bleach in it. Be sure it's completely dry before you start adhering your tiles.
I use Spar Varnish for my mosaic stuff, and so far it seems to hold up fine, but other folks may have something they like better.
