Thread: Shapton Pros+Glass

I think a lot of the woodworking folks have been using a marine epoxy because it's fairly stable once cured and we all (woodworkers) generally have some kind of epoxy handy. If you need to scuff the glass to get a good bed, wet and dry sandpaper is a good choice - it's sharp even as it dulls (horrible way to say that, it's friable and maintains smaller and smaller sharp points).

I have had stones separate when soaking (notably, bester 1200), but that was after several years of use and it was as easy as just gluing again.

The one strike against epoxy is that it seems to be like grease - the object and the substrate need to be constrained in at least two dimensions so that you don't find a stone halfway off of a substrate the next day, and glued fast that way.
