| I want to mosaic a metal tray, a metal watering can, and a copper plant pot. Do I need to prime them? If so what do I use to prime them?
Which adhesive do you suggest? I was thinking of using thinset. Thanks for any advice you may have,

| Thinset is fine, also I have used marine silicone adhesive caulking, but thinset isn't as smelly!ha! Are you gonna use dishes and/or stained glass? |

| I have mosaiced metal trays and watering cans and I didn't use a primer. They were for indoor use and I used Weldbond but thinset would be better. MAC glue or GE Silicone II for windows and doors are also possibilities. |
