How do I determine how much thinset to use for my found-object mosaic?
When using found objects, the best method is to adapt how much thinset you spread as you go along, for each piece or a small set of pieces. Be careful about using too much thinset, as it will squeeze to the surface of the objects and make a mess. As you are working, you will probably develop a rhythm in relation to the different pieces and their sizes relative to the amount of thinset you need. Also, when grouting, instead of trying to rub in then wipe off the grout, the typical method for flat tile, fill in the voids selectively with a grouting bag.

- One area of my finished mosaic with Liquifusion is tacky on the surface. Is there a way to fix/clean this? I saw something that suggested doing something with a blow dryer or heat gun, but was not able to see the entire procedure.
