I have a front door that faces west and gets very hot in the summer. I made a wreath of twigs and sea shells.The hot glue melted, causing the shells to fall off. I tried E6000 glue but the same thing happened. What would be a good adhesive to use?

    Had you considered wiring the items you use on a wreath? We have a crosswind in our back yard, so the wreath on the back door (where we go in and out all the time) as well as direct sunlight until late afternoon glue just didn't work, due to all the elements (plus a small overhang)..But, when I starting using florist wire, no further problems. Hope that helps!

    Tile mastic (for ceramic tiles, not vinyl) shouldn't be affected by heat.

      I've only used it on floors! But once it's dry, it's like cement. I think epoxy would probably work, too.

    I too had a front door that got full sun all day and had to switch to floral wire. I actually like using it better than glue. I wire moss down first which seems to help keep things tight.

    E-600 or hot glue gun

    I live in South Florida with a South facing door. It gets super hot and I had the same thing happen. I think I'm going to try glassing them on. The same thing they use for Bar and Table Tops. I will let your know my results. Happy Crafting!!!

    Did you end up trying the tile mastic? Just curious if it worked
