Preparing Thinset for Smalti Mosaics

[moorsmalti]

Many traditional mosaics use a grey thinset throughout the mosaic. A neutral shade keeps you looking at the mosaic and not the adhesive! I often use a thinset the same shade as the tile I'm laying to make the overall color more intense. If you choose to do that, you would need to make a new cup of thinset (or a portion of a cup) for each shade. Have fun!

Thank you for your videos. Very informative. I'm just learning so this might be a dumb question.... Do you mix new colors of thinset with every different color of tile you're working with?
