Mosaics??

[katymac]

I'm a bit confused here - I have comissioned an artist to make me a mosaic

But he seem unable to find a waterproof grout - I have suggested that he try swimming pool tilers as they are obviously waterproof

But do M/Netters have any idea of a waterproof grout for mosaics?

It's a long shot I know...but?

Is ordinary grouting that you would use in a shower not waterproof enough!!

Apparently that's what he uses and the edges start to crumble (after only a few weeks)

Try here . I was given one of their kits for Christmas and am still trying to find time to do it!

Thanks I've sent the link on

Any other thoughts any one

Swimming pool installers are your best bet - is there a pool shop near you at all? Did find this so waterproof grout is available.

I am a big DIYer and my best thing is mosaics in the bathrooms. I used normal tiles that I've smashed up with a hammer and normal waterproof grout. They don't leak.

Surely the artist hisself should be able to source his materials? It sounds as if he hasn't done one in a wet area before - does he know what he's doing?

He does Mosaic pictures (but they are for indoor)

He hasn't done an outdoor one before

I'm starting to think he's a bit wet (iyswim)
