Thread: glue for stones??

Just asking what glue to use to join back a coti combo, and if i should do any special surface prep before the glue?? The stone is 1 x 5 thanks

I'd probably use something like Araldite or Evostick to glue two pieces of stone together. They are both pretty viscous glues and pretty much bond anything to anything so they would work well for this sort of thing.

Just make sure the surfaces are flat and free from dust and other detritus, then apply the glue as per the instructions.

You might also put a book on top of the hone to put gentle pressure on the join while the glue sets.

Good luck and keep us posted!

Just make sure you don't use an expanding glue like Gorilla Glue unless you have the stone evenly supported and clamped on both surfaces.

I've done this many times. I've used two part epoxy with good results. Natural combos do have a habit of coming apart.

Yeah, long curing epoxy is what you want to use.

Marine Epoxy is what I used....I think it is what Gugi is talking about with the Long Cure too
