The complete project.
What kind of glue should I use to apply glass "pebbles" to glass ...
+24
I made a 'gazing ball' from a clear round fishbowl by applying colored glass pebbles, intending to leave it on my screen porch. Super freezing temp's, followed by humidity and rain caused all the pebbles to fall off (a few at a time). I need a weather-proof type of glue. Any suggestions?
After the winter weather!
marine grade outdoor epoxy
Florists glue
E6000
100% silicon caulk -- clear -- same stuff we make aquariums out of! but it has to be 100% PURE Silicone! not a 'combination' product
E6000 STINKS ! Hate it..it has undone many of my projects after I read how great it was here on Hometalk. I 2nd the Silicone. In fact? I use LOCTITE POWEREGRAB adhesive for everything now and it's fantastic !
E-6000
I Quik Grip glue for this type of project. It sets up quickly. I use masking tape to hold in place while I work but the tape can be removed in a very short time.
E-6000 takes too long to set up, runs from underneath the gems, and doesn't hold up well outside.
Epoxy.
I use Loctite GO2 Gel in tube (so easy to control flow) for everything. Stronger than any superglue and have repaired things that I thought I had to toss. Got it at Home Depot.
I would use super glue, unless you're wanting to use some sort of grout. I've seen tile grout used, as well.
I would use E6000 glue.
Tjanks so much for info
E 6000 glue works great, also gorilla glue.
E6000 or Loctite glass glue.
Epoxy is very strong or Loctite glue.
E6000
Marine Silicone should do it.
Great question! E6000 and gorilla glue are ideal for crafts. For something more sturdy or for outside use, silicone and epoxy are good suggestions. More info here: https://www.hometalk.com/diy/decorate/11-glass-gem-crafts-diy-decor-ideas-for-your-home-44847286
