Metal Tape - how to use it in your Mosaic Projects.

This metal tape will allow you to take a piece of glass that you can see through and give it a reflective back that you can't see through.  Using this technique doesn't give your glass the depth of reflection of a regular mirror, but it will reflect the light back through the glass and hiding what surface might be underneath of it (glue, cement, etc.).

Place the tape down on a smooth surface and carefully peel away the paper to expose the sticky side of the tape.

Clean the glass before putting it on the tape.

Place the glass down on the tape. If the glass has a heavy texture, it might be best to put the smooth side down next to the tape.

Turn the glass over and rub the tape down to make it stick to the glass better and get rid of any airbubbles.

You can put a design on the tape or on the glass using a pen, etc. Caution: The design may fade with age.
