Hi,

I have a granite tile backsplash over my stove. I would like to glue a metal hook to the granite in order to hang a ceramic platter. Can you suggest a glue that would sustain the hook and the platter. The platter weighs no more than a pound. I am concerned that over time the hook would fall off. Thank you.

Do you know what kind of glue will permanantly adhere glass to glass, dry clear and can be hand washed with dish soap.

Thank you for your help.

Hi.

I recently got epoxy glue on my finger. It’s not much, about 1 1/2 square cm. Will this be toxic?

Hi John,
Either spray adhesive, contact cement, hot glue, or epoxy should work between fabric and metal. You might want to sand the crome lightly so it won’t be so slick.

I was wondering which glue would create the best bond between fabric and metal? (silk and chrome to be more specific)

Thanks in advance

John

A clear glue stick (available at office supply stores) will hold photos to glass. But if it is applied to the face of the photo (so you are looking through the glass at it), it will make the photo look wet (as will about any other glue) where the glue was applied. If you are attaching the photos on the back side to glass, try using double stick tape.

Ben,
Do you know which construction adhesives would be the best by any chance?
I did some research and it seems like we need to keep the screws around the corners of the sheetrock at least.
