I am a mosaic artist and instructor. My most popular class is the bowling ball mosaic gazing ball. Living in Indiana we have a lot of freeze thaw days in the winter. I have bb gazing balls that have been in my yard for 10 + years now and have never had a problem. For anything where the teserea will slip I use Liquid Nails for small projects. Unfortunately it has been pulled off the market by the EPA. I am now using the new version and don't know how well it is going to work yet. For flat projects I use the Weld Bond and totally agree with the last post about dry time. I have tried using it on bb's but to get pieces to stay it has to be taped, not fun when you are wanting to get something done. Deborah Just found your website and it looks great!

It's people like you who help all of us have more successful projects vs. failures when using new products we're not familiar with for the first time. Thanks again! :) Hi Pam:

I would however, say in an area with freeze/thaw cycles I would bring my art into a garage or other inside area. Stepping stones also. The only problem I have had with this adhesive is when I glue transparent or clear color glass, it takes FOREVER for the Weldbond to dry and you can see it still milky through the glass. I had a piece that took years to cure. I would say to use thinset morter if you want to make sure your pieces stay on for the long haul.
