Drying. Tomorrow I will grout the table and add a photo of the final result on this blog post  |
ummm, this table was supposed to get a light under it. we tried using a really bright bulb earlier, and it looked horrible. All the imperfections of the cheap glass tiles became visible. So no light required. If I do this again I will use stained glass rather.
