Hi clayart,
I have a small three piece (broken pieces of an original one-piece) not
flat tiles that I would like to mount on wood so that they are "floating"
above the surface of the wood. Any recommendations for how to attach the
tiles invisibly at the back? I know I can use some kind of apoxy and screw
or nail type arrangement but not sure what/how.
Thanks,
Centa (loving having her own studio)

Centa,
The easiest way to attach those tiles may be to use velcro. Even aircraft
manufacturers use velcro to attach certain parts to the wings of jets, I'm
told, so the attachment can be very strong when used on inflexible
surfaces. You don't want the little sticky dots, though. Go for as wide a
piece as you can find and secure it with a good industrial strength cement.

Try clear silicone caulk. JOY in... it hit 100 in Tucson Today.

Try cutting short sections of wooden rod (dowling, (UK name)) glueing
them to your background panel then glue the tile pieces to them. Use a
good quality 2 part epoxy as your glue. I stain and then matt paint
mounting panels like that black.
