2, to ensure sufficient drying time, usually 24 hours, after the mosaic is fully bonded, then fill the gap with a suitable caulking agent and smooth.

3, in order to avoid scratches and damage, try not to use abrasive cleaners, wire brush or sandpaper and other rough tools to clean.

8. Apply white glue to the wall surface during construction, and then use a 6*6 tooth type scraper to scrape into a uniform tooth shape, and then glue the shell to allow the shell mosaic to be pressed on the open time. Pay attention to vertical when laying. If it is found that some shell mosaics have flaws, they can be corrected for grain-by-grain movement before the cement is solidified.

9. When shell mosaics are to be cut, high quality stone tools should be used to cut on the glass surface.

10. When drilling holes in the shell mosaic, special drilling tools should be used. When drilling, water should be added to cool.

11. In order to maintain the gloss of the shell mosaic, you should not use abrasive cleaners, wire brushes and sandpaper for cleaning. You can use the household cleaning window supplies to clean.
