Adds More Strength and Sealing Capabilities
The uniform thickness of NO Days Mosaic Adhesive Film creates a strong long-term bond and seal between your glass/tiles and substrates. When heated, the adhesive film will begin to flow adjusting for any surface flatness conditions and voids that may exist. You can even stack a few sheets of film if you are working with extremely uneven surfaces or porous surfaces.
Re-Working after Curing with NO Days Mosaic is No Problem!
A unique characteristic of NO Days Mosaic Adhesive Film is in its ability to be easily re-worked unlike other traditional liquid or cement adhesives. Once you
heat and cure NO Days Mosaic, it can be easily re-worked by simply re-heating. No more having to "break your bond" after curing and risk damaging your glass/tile or substrates you are working with in the process.
NO Days Mosaic Adhesive Film cannot be re-activated by indoor or outdoor temperatures due to its elevated phase-change temperature of 160F/71C (point at which it is heated and turns from a solid to a liquid).Grouting
There are no special grouts or grouting instructions required when using NO Days Mosaic Adhesive Film. The strong bond provided by the mosaic adhesive film prevents glass and tile movement when grouting.
Outdoor Application
NO Days Mosaic Adhesive Film was designed with outdoor weather conditions in mind. The elevated phase-change temperature (point at which it is heated and changes from a solid to a liquid) is 160F/71C. This elevated phase-change temperature is high enough where it cannot be reactivated by outdoor weather conditions. But low enough to be quickly heated by a heating device when applied.
Trace Your Pattern (preserve your original pattern sheet)
Trace your pattern directly onto your film first! Simply lay down the mosaic film on top of your pattern and trace with a felt pen. The clear film form of the mosaic adhesive film allows you to see your pattern underneath. You can now take your mosaic film sheets and place them on top of your substrate. NO Days Mosaic Adhesive Film gives you the capability of working with your pattern without having to trace it onto your substrate first. If you prefer to trace your pattern onto your substrate first.....not a problem! The clear film form of NO Days Mosaic Adhesive will allow you to see you pattern underneath. When finished placing your glass or tile pieces, heat and allow to cool to cure.
Clarity
Due to the mosaic adhesive film's thin film form, it can be used in applications where a designer is wanting to minimize the visual effects of adhesive when using clear glass or glass substrates. The amount of clarity with NO Days Mosaic Adhesive Film is dependent on the designers ability to apply uniform and even heat to activate the adhesive. If NO Days Mosaic Film is being used in glass to glass application where there will be no grouting, then the film can be easily cut to match each glass piece so the adhesive film will only be present underneath the cut glass piece and not within the area between the cut glass pieces typically where the grout would be applied.
Heating Options
Heat Gun: Use a heat gun to heat sections or your entire mosaic at once.
More details...Household Oven: Place your mosaic in your household oven for 10 minutes at approximately 220F. Heat will activate adhesive film. Remove from oven to allow adhesive to fully cure. Ensure that your substrate can withstand the these temperatures before heating. Our eco-friendly MDF shapes work great with the film!
Setup: With both methods, adhesive film must be placed in between glass/tiles and substrate base.
Note: Heating times may vary depending on your heating tool, glass or tile thickness and total area of your mosaic. We recommend testing a small test piece first to familiarize yourself with the optimal heating technique and setup.
Get to Your Grouting Quicker!
NO Days Mosaic Adhesive Film's key advantage is in its ability to quickly cure large surface areas of a mosaic with no mess. Mosaic Artists can now eliminate the tedious task of having to glue each glass or tile piece and then wait hours or sometime days to cure before grouting. Whether you are bonding to either glass, metal, ceramic or plastics, NO Days Mosaic Adhesive Film ensures your mosaic will be built with ease held together with strength allowing others to enjoy your mosaic masterpieces for years to come.
Do not use with PollyTile, Plastic Bits or other tesserae that cannot withstand heat.
