Collection: Multi-Art Patterned Backers

FOR MOSAICS AND PAINTING!

Multi-Art Patterned backers are maple wood backers perfect for both mosaics and painting. We laser-print the patterns on these backers so you can easily follow them and add your own unique touch and style! Paint or mosaic them! These are for Interior use ONLY and all backers in this collection are 1/4" thick for those of you who prefer this thickness.

These maple wood panels offer several advantages for mosaic artists and painters: durability of wood, thickness makes it easy to frame, smooth surface for painting, natural color of maple, stability, eco-friendliness, and helps keep costs lower if you use paints.

For mosaics:

• Before you begin, seal all surfaces and edges with 1/2 weld bond and 1/2 water. Brush on, let dry before starting your mosaic.
• Use Weld Bond for adhesive. 
• Sanded grout works well.
• Paint edges and back if desired with acrylic paints. 
  
• Hanging: You can use our hanging system which can easily be glued onto the back after you have completed your mosaic. See instructions here. OR Framing is easy with 1/4" thickness.

For painters:

• No sanding or surface smoothing required.
• Acrylic and oil paints work well.
• Hanging: You can use our hanging system which can easily be glued onto the back after you are done. See instructions here. Framing is also easy!
