Sealing Terracotta - Mosaic Tutorial

Sealing a terracotta or concrete pot is important due to them being porous - IMPORTANT PLEASE READ - When it comes to sealing some people choose not seal when using thinset, there preference is to wet the area down and the water absorbs into the substrate rather than zapping the moisture out of the thinset which works well. When using a sealant there is a chance it could fail which means your mosaic could fail as the thinset is sticking to the sealant. I use Laticrete thinset and in many cases Laticrete Hydroban which is a water proofing membrane/sealant. To seal or not to seal is a personal choice, you need to choose the best option to suit your needs and as always read the manufacturers data sheets so you can make an informed decision on whatever products you use.
The sealant I used is Bondall Pot and Ornament Sealer, dont use on horizontal areas where water pools.
