FAQs

How many coasters can I make with this kit?

This kit provides the materials to create two complete mosaic coasters.

Do I need any special tools not included in the kit?

No, the kit includes all the necessary tools like a spatula and sponge for application and cleanup.

What is the best way to clean the finished coasters?

Gently wipe them with a damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or submerging them in water.

How long does the entire process take?

The active crafting time is a few hours, but you will need to allow for significant drying and curing time for the glue and grout, typically spread over 2-3 days.

Can children use this kit?

This kit is suitable for older children with adult supervision, especially during the gluing and grouting stages, due to small parts and craft materials.

What if I run out of glue or grout before finishing?

The kit is designed to provide sufficient materials for two coasters. If you find you need more, standard craft glue and tile grout can be purchased separately from craft stores.

Are the glass tiles sharp?

The glass mosaic tiles are generally smooth on the top surface, but edges might have slight sharpness. Handle with care during placement.

Troubleshooting

Tiles not sticking

Ensure the bamboo surface is clean and dry before applying glue. Use sufficient glue and press tiles firmly. Allow adequate drying time for the glue.

Grout is too wet or too dry

Follow the grout mixing instructions precisely. If too dry, add a tiny amount of water; if too wet, add a small amount of grout powder until the correct consistency is reached.

Difficulty wiping off excess grout

Wipe away excess grout while it is still slightly pliable, but not too wet. Use a damp (not soaking wet) sponge and rinse it frequently. A final buff with a dry cloth once cured can remove haze.

Coasters feel fragile after drying

Ensure all components (glue and grout) have been allowed to cure fully as per the instructions. Inadequate drying can lead to weakness.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Ensure you have a clean, flat, and protected workspace.
  2. Plan your design by arranging the mosaic tiles on the bamboo coaster base before applying glue.
  3. Use the provided glue to adhere the tiles securely. Allow the glue to dry completely according to instructions (typically several hours or overnight).
  4. Mix the grout as directed and apply it to fill the gaps between the tiles using the spatula.
  5. Wipe away excess grout with the damp sponge.
  6. Allow the grout to cure fully before use (usually 24-48 hours).

Compatibility:

This kit is self-contained and does not require external components or software. The bamboo bases are designed for the included tiles and grout.

Care:

To clean the finished coasters, gently wipe them with a damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the tiles or grout. Do not soak the coasters in water.
