I started with just a clean new mailbox, slathered on mastic and dug the tiles down into it (it's kinda like wet cement), let it all dry a day or two, then use mosaic grout (mine was from Michael's) to fill in cracks, let dry a couple days, then seal with tile sealant to waterproof...<br />Hope that helps, and I'd LOVE to see your results!!!!!ames107noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9041004553015945774.post-37976909432985750522009-06-03T14:08:50.713-04:002009-06-03T14:08:50.713-04:00Thanks for the response!

Does mastic stick to metal or did you have to buff the surface to improve adherence? Did you let the mastic dry before applying grout?<br />So many questions! I really like your finished results.
