Re: Smoke And MIRRORS
Someone in Omaha has too much money!
What are you using to grout the gold? Brand? Color?

Re: Smoke And MIRRORS
The old tile was grouted with TEC unsanded CAULK
 delorian grey. It has held up well, so I think I will try the same.... I plan on dumping out several tubes misting the tile, and filling with a new float......I would really hate to scratch it. .Craig |

 Seriously though, working with that metallic stuff was like cleaning up after my 12 y/o girl's glitter clothes. I had sparkle/glitter all over! I even had to sand the wall a bit. It had remnants of sparkles too

Re: Smoke And MIRRORS
These strange tile jobs are coming out of the woodwork. I spoke to a HO yesterday that wants this http://www.cooltiles.com/vidfotolumi.html .
Needless to say he is a bit "Flamboyant" 118 sq. ft. on the walls with a 4" x 4" cobalt blue floor tile.

Re: Smoke And MIRRORS
wizendwizard
At least it dosent change color with body temp or shower heat like the old mood rings By the way the "grouting" went fairly well (better than I had expected) I will try to post some finished pic's.... the only pain was the "secret" drawer 6" tall 24" deep 38" wide full extension drawer with a seamless tile face to makde the grout joint lift free i took some scotch tape and stuck it to my jeans to make it alot less sticky,and taped the backer and tile of the surrounding (the drawer face) area and "grouted" when it all dried the un sticky tape gave way like i had hoped and stuck to the caulk leaving a "grouted" joint/seam stuck to the drawer tile. i will make a vid of another one as i promised the Owner i wouldnt show theirs.
