    wondering what you ladies feel are the top glue products for adhering things to glass, mirrors, mixed materials.
    i have an old picture frame w/ stained glass flowers and mirrors that i'd like to tear apart and glue onto either a windows frame or directly to glass. (it's also a frosted type glass window...which may make it more difficult)

    I HAVE USED A SILICONE GLUE (E6000) TO DO GLASS ON GLASS) I RECENTLY PURCHASED GOOP BECAUSE OF THE RECOMENDATIONS ON THIS SITE BUT HAVEN'T USED IT YET.

    For glass to glass I would also recomend weldbond, my fave for mosaics and will dry clear.

    I am still experimenting with glass adhesive. I tend to put too much on and make a mess. As for mirrors I have been told mirrormastic (SP?) is the best because many glues eat away the back of the mirror. it comes in a tube similar to caulk.

    I have experimented with several brands and have been very pleased with 527 multi-purpose cement by BOND adhesives. It dries clear and several items done months ago are still holding well. Good Luck.

    I use GE silicon II for glass on glass. The kind that says window & doors. That way its water proof if you do any outdoor things...

    My favorite for adhering glass to glass is No Daze Mosaic adhesive. It's a film and you heat it with the heat gun. No drying required.

    I use Plumber's Goop to adhere glass (or anything else for that matter) to other surfaces and it's water resistant.

    I've also used Clear Silicone for Windows and Doors as well as Weldbond (for indoors only) and also MacGlue. MacGlue is good for the outdoors also, but like Weldbond, you need to make sure you don't put it on too thickly or it won't dry properly.

    Hi! I recommend either e6000 or beacon silicone...they are both fantastic!!! I have glue on my fingers as I type...luckily neither of those adheres to computer keyboards...LOL

    Let me know what you end up using! :-)
