TIP: Whenever adding a tessera to a dry porous surface dampen it so that the moisture is not instantly ‘sucked’ out of the thinset.

TIP 4: Putting the grout/mortar in a bag gives you more working time as the polymer is exposed less to air.
TIP 5: Sealer will often change the colour and when it wears out or flakes it destroys the beauty of the finished piece
