How Do You Make An Outdoor Mosaic Table?

Apply mastic and grout to finish this interesting table. Remove rust from your table with a rust remover, such as Rustoleum. Place the table on newspaper, use work gloves to protect your hands, apply the product according to directions and remove rusted bits with a fine wire brush. Wipe the table clean with a damp sponge, and allow to dry thoroughly. Apply a rust inhibitor, according to package directions, for extra protection.
