Explore the Versatility of Wood as a Mosaic Backer. Join Kim as she delves into the realm of decorative art mosaics, offering an insightful review of wood backers ideal for 2-D mosaic projects. Gain insights into Medium Density Fiberboard (MDF), Plywood, and Dimensional Lumber, discovering their optimal applications within this artistic domain.

Join Kim as she showcases an array of hanging options, from cleats to alternative hangers, while deciphering the art of selecting the perfect screws—some shine while others fall short! Your mosaic's foundation, the substrate, is pivotal in ensuring its longevity; allow Kim to assist you in making an informed choice that fortifies your project over time.

This video meticulously focuses on wood backers, yet heed a cautionary note! The weight considerations of mosaic materials warrant attention, and wood proves unsuitable for exterior use.
