Glue for outdoor fairy garden

Question

I'm looking for something that will adhere to wood, stone & metal, and will withstand weather.

Renae · Answer

I've used E6000 and had great results, especially when gluing different materials together. I live in FL, so I don't know how it would act where it freezes in the winter... anyone else know this answer?

Ann · Answer

I've made garden art with glass, metal, wood and ceramics. The projects glued with Silicone II hold up the best. I have one bowling ball covered with half marbles that is over 10 years old. The marbles glued with Silicone II are still adhering well while the few I used E 6000 and other adhesives on have started to pop off. I live in Oregon, so in ten years we've had some severe winters. Hope this helps!

I'm with Liquid Nails...the stuff ROCKS! E600 is pretty awesome, too, but I've never used it outside.

Deb · Answer

I used Liquid Nails for pinecones wreaths that survived the winter elements for over 30 years. One I still have is together. Highly recommend for outside.

I am no) and if it gets wet it gets gummy. I think I might try the E6000 and see how that works.

Try clear caulk - the waterproof kind used in bathrooms. This sticks almost everything, and I've used it for many outdoor projects with success.

Liquid Nails/Projects and Construction ..find it at Home Depot or Lowes...Uses a putty knife and lasts forever! I did tree rings 8 years ago with mosaics...have moved them 3 times, 2 states...and no problem!

Jennie Herrick · Answer

The one glue that I have found that adheres to just about everything and anything (as long as it's given a minimum of 24 hours to cure before being subjected to weather) is E6000! That stuff is amazing! I've used it on everything from gluing rhinestones on those $0.98 flip flops from Walmart to gluing sea shells and jute twine on Wine Bottle Wind Chimes. As a matter of fact, I hardly ever use my glue gun anymore because the E6000 does such a fantastic job. Just remember when using it that a little goes a long way. Good luck and have fun!

I tried doing fair gardens, but wildlife kept tearing them up. coons especially are curious and love to investigate things. Gave up and make them inside the sunroom.

Nonae Mariah Temujinn · Answer

Try A+B Plumbers Putty. The gorgeous thing about this product is that you can also shape and/or carve in it to make your own garden 'excitables'. As an adhesive, it will stick to anything and cures even under water.

Linda · Answer

I also have used E6000 and it works well. The GE Silicone waterproof is also great-at Walmart and Lowes.

Cindi · Answer

I use E6000 on everything, inside and out, and nothing has fallen apart yet, that I know of. I buy the stuff in bulk, small tubes for jewelry and small crafts, and large tubes for bigger things. I got all these ficus trees and plants at an auction, and drilled holes in the bottom of these plastic barrels for drainage, then glued down the whole tree base in the middle, plus filled it with rocks, they're not going anywhere. Also used it to glue fake flowers to the rocks in my terracotta pots, so they don't blow away. We get some heavy winds at times, blew one tree into my front window, racoons on the roof, etc, so no more trees by the house, except fake ones, and while they have a few less leaves, they still look good, plus no watering. Anyway, this E6000 has withstood the weather, on top of being the best for gluing whatever needs to be glued indoors, so I swear by it.
