How do I mosaic this table??

Cut an underlayment of MDF or other thin board with jig saw. Tile. Grout. Done. I would not do it without underlayment and I have found MDF works for me. Caution - I always spray it with a top coat to make it "waterproof" just in case. good luck! Hope this helps.

Hello. You will need to install a waterproof surface to mount the tiles on —if —this is going to be an exterior table. Your mastic would seep through the mesh holes otherwise.

Yes, an underlayment is needed, wood or thick plexiglass would work well. Be sure to seal the top and sides when done so it does not get stained and is waterproofed.

Sounds like a fun project, please consider posting it when you are done.

Agreed you will want an underlayment of some kind. Honestly with real tile I would lean toward using cement board instead of plywood.

Grout would fall straight thru the holes. Home Depot has "rounds" of wood precut to about this size. You could use a product like Loctite to adhere it to the table top or add a bolt or two countersunk from the top thru the metal top with a nut on the bottom. That would keep the top of the bolt head flush with the wood. Seal with poly meant for outdoors.

You could put a piece of luan. It's probably the thinnest medium you can use.

Cut a piece of thin plywood or luan to form the base. Attach it to the table and then you can start your mosaic.

Both Home Depot and Lowes sells round table tops. or you can buy some MDF. If you have scrap wood, you can cut it down to fit the table. Then you can tile it. You will need thin set and grout. I have that same table and I sprayed mine Oil Rubbed Bronze and love it. I accented it with rub and buff. Easy Peasy

Needs to be solid. Thin piece of plywood.

I agree with other folks, solid material attached to the table top. Then tile and grout. You would have a HUGE mess of grout droppings without something solid underneath.

I would use mortar, that will adear to the mesh on the table

Hi Peggy, you will need to put a solid surface on this, but that can be done easily, You can cut a piece of thin plywood or concrete backer board to put over the mesh, hope this video helps you out
