How to adhere Wedi Board to back/Frame a mosaic on Wedi board

I have completed a mosaic on 1/2" Wedi Board and would like to mount it on a larger Wedi Board to frame the piece. How do I adhere it? I'm worried about the weight of the mosaic pulling away from the second board.

New here; most recent project

Saturn V Rocket, which is a Huntsville, AL landmark. I live in the area and wanted to give it a try. The base is part of a piece of furniture that had to be replaced and ended up making a perfect frame.

Mosaic door mat question

Hi all,

I’m relatively new to this group but was hoping I could tap in to your expertise. I’m planning a project that would essentially be a mosaic door mat, like an entryway floor mosaic but without directly installing it to the floor. Mostly this is because this is because it’s a gift for someone who might be looking to sell up in the next few years (and I suppose they might hate it!) It also needs to be transported internationally in a suitcase so I am planning to create it on mosaic mesh and finishing it off/grouting on arrival. My question is this: what would make a good robust base for the mosaic that would stay in place and withstand footfall, but still be movable if need be and look good as well?

I presume I wouldn’t want to use something flexible as a base or it might break up the grout, but would a simple plywood base be suitable for such an outdoor project or has anyone done something similar/has any better ideas?

If it helps, I will be using all weather vitreous tiles suitable for outdoor and underfoot use.

Many thanks for any advice!
