mosaic mailbox

16 years ago

I dream of making a mosaic mailbox. I'm worried, though, that I'll go through the effort only to have it crack the first time it freezes or the first time it gets covered in ice, etc, etc. Does anyone have any experience with this? I'm not even sure what type of mailbox to start with. Any input would be great! Thanks!

if you use an exterior waterproof/frostproof cement based mortar as an adhesive it should be fine. Other than that, if you enquire at a tiling outlet they should be able to advise you further as to a suitable fixative/grout.
