My wife's just bought some ceramic letters that spell out our son's name that she'd like mounted for his bedroom.
The letters are approx 6 inches high, made from some kind of fired ceramic / clay. The front is glazed, but the back isn't. I'm planning to mount them (probably using tile cement) on plywood or hardboard & then make a small-ish frame & paint the whole thing. However I've got a couple of questions:
Would plywood or hardboard be better? Is tile cement a sensible thing to use (I thought of Gripfill as an alternative) Should I prime the ply or hardboard before sticking on the letters?
Thanks,
Michael
