I love E6000 for things like this. It's flexible but very strong.

I have been working on a window project that uses odd pieces of glass and I used Aleen's Clear gel..Tacky Glue...works great..just make sure it's clear cause they also make a regular and it's cloudy...no bueno on glass on glass...

  Thank you for your suggestion. I will try it. I would be interested in knowing if the glue is water soluble because if it is that won't work for a bird bath. It is a wedding gift I wouldn't want it to fall apart

Use GOOP marine glue. It's for outdoors and glues anything. Fast find on Amazon..............

I'd use E6000. It will stand up to the weather and the water - just let it cure for at least 24 hours before you put it outside or add the water to it.

E6000 but you won't be able to separate the pieces afterwards should you decide to do so.

  Actually glue doesn't hold up in water. I had a bird my husband glued into a birdbath and it didn't hold up to the water and it wasn't clear. I am going to use marine silicone glue.

Loctite Go2 glue -it's clear and extra durable. I've used it for years making my bird baths ,etc. and have them out doors all spring thru fall seasons.

Silcon if it is weight bearing, just make sure it is suitable to be under water permanently, there is a Silicon that they use to join the corners on Fish Pond/Aquariums.

  Thank you Alan I went with Marine Silicone. It won't be to heavy and it won't be underwater permanently. only the bowl part will have water. The silicone they use for fish ponds and aquariums is just silicone without a fungiside

  Excellent, we have Glass corner windows here in our house and they glued in the corners with Silicon too, we have several bird baths here in our garden, after washing them out with the hose & scrubbing brush, we put a few drops of bleach into the water, it stops Alge growing but only a few drops!

I would suggest checking out your local craft store. Maybe lowes or Home Depot also. I know that Michaels has a glue for glass.

  Thank you Terri I decided on Marine Silicone glue. The birds won't come in contact with the glue so it should be okay

  Debbie I used to use E600 on my glass garden art. It does not hold up in the garden after several rains. I broke many of my prettiest pieces by using that glue. Never will I use it again unless it's for an indoor project.

Mine have done great. Maybe you didn't let it dry 72 hrs before putting out in rain, plus I use plenty of glue. Mine have lastedall summer and it has rained a bunch in our area. I do take them down in winter.

I used E 6000, and when I used warm soapy water to clean with everything fell apart. There has got to be a durable glue that can hold up to cleaning and be efficient.
