Donna Shaner on May 29, 2014E6000 will work best, but you may need to figure out a way to hold the glass in place while the glue sets. Things sometimes slide around till the glue sets-might depend on the size of your sea glass pieces. I have seen people use blue painters tape to hold things in place. Once set, it will hold well. Good luck! :) E6000 is cheaper at Walmart, but you could use a 40% off coupon at Michaels or Hobby Lobby.Helpful Reply

Sam Schaefer on May 29, 2014E-6000 will work, but so will clear bathroom caulk. I use it all the time, and it's waterproof too. There are many brands. I like the silicone. You can find them anywhere from Lowes & Home Depot to Walmart. Good Luck!Helpful Reply

Liz aka the Junktion Alley Gypsy on May 29, 2014I use GE Silicone II Supreme. It works as well as E-6000 but doesn't have the intoxicating glue smell. When I am doing projects that need to be held in place, I use the blue painter's tape to hold them. Just be careful not to get it where any glue is or it will be glue to your project.Helpful Reply

Sherry Knott on May 30, 2014I use E6000 too. I'm with Becky -- do only a couple of rows at a time. That's what we do on Mason jars. With a large jar, I "secured" the jar so that it wouldn't roll around by placing a hardback book on both sides. Anything you can think of to keep the jar from rolling. Then I glue a couple of rows vertically rather than horizontally. :-) Just an idea that works for me.Helpful Reply

Laura Frasco on May 30, 2014Gorilla Glue 2 part epoxy is what I use to make glass birdfeeders out of HEAVY glass candy dishes and wine glasses.....sets up in less than 5 minutes, so you need to work quickly and in small batches...... and it dries perfectly clear!Helpful Reply

Nina Owens on May 30, 2014E6000 or the clear caulks will work, however one of the problems of glass to glass is it is a nonporous surface. For best results to adhere, I use Armour Etch-All (or any other glass etching product) and lightly etch both glass surfaces. With Armour, I'd recommend about 10 minutes of etching. It will give the surfaces some "tooth" where the adhesives have something more to bond.Helpful Reply

Donna Shipley on May 30, 2014If you're not set on gluing on the sea glass, you might try starting over with this paint technique... http://www.hometalk.com/diy/decorate/rooms/diy-sea-glass-with-nautical-netting-3790128?se=fol_new-20140530&tk=irwrnkHelpful Reply

Tanya W on May 30, 2014Have you thought about just putting the seaglass inside the jar? That way you can change it out as your decor changes.Helpful Reply

Therese Ryan-Haas on May 30, 2014I don't know how you are going to get grout off with out scratching or braking glass. You can try to soak the whole thing on a bucket of white vinegar. Vinegar got grout off my ceramic tiles.Helpful Reply

Carol on May 30, 2014First clean the jar with nail polish remover. Then wipe down with wet tissue, water only, no soap. I used glass glue that I bought from Ace Hdwe. It comes with a syringe for use.Helpful Reply

Tegma on Jun 01, 2014I think I'd leave the grout on the jar, and just fill it in all over again with the beach glass &/or the grout, as needed. Use Weldbond or clear silicone and I think all will be well!Helpful Reply

Rhonda Vigus on Jun 09, 2014Problem solved!!! I tried the E6000 and it worked beautifully! I'm doing just a couple sections at a time to let the glue set and be able to turn the jar for the next roll. Thank you all for your suggestions. I'll post a finished lamp once done.Helpful Reply

Rosalie chow on Jan 29, 2015You should use Mosaic glue to glue the sea glass. Start from the bottom row and work your way up. Mosaic glue dries clear. If you use darker color grout, it will not see the dirt and your sea glass will stayed out.Helpful Reply
