GE II is found in hardware stores...or you can drill the glass. People use so many ways to attach the stem. I used GE II glue and a curved joint pipe. Others used the spoon method. It's really personal preference. Once you make one, you're addicted!!! Here are some pictures of ones I made... I still want to attach leaves. Bear Hugs! Kirk

Hi and welcome. You will have so much fun with the flowers!
I've pretty much converted to the spoon method because you can hang it on anything. But they would be more easily stolen, so if I put one in my front yard I might go back to a pipe fitting.
I have ge ii to metal in my garden but some of it failed, so I started the experiment in the post below. Other people also weigh in.
I'm using ge ii on all glass to glass and automotive goop on glass to metal.
The key with goops is to get some on both parts then let it cure for a while then stick together. An easy way to do this is to put a generous amount on one part (the spoon for example) then stick it where it will go and immediately carefully separate again. Now you have goop on both parts and need to let it cure until it becomes tacky (3 to 10 minutes), then stick together again, holding firmly for a bit. Some people then tape or add weight.
You don't have to do this process with the ge II for windows and doors, clear, for your glass to glass. Just be sure to get the clear!
By the way, lots of people use ge ii to attach metal things to bowling balls and it lasts. I think it sometimes becomes a problem with plate flowers because they are much heavier than, say, a penny on a bowling ball.
Be sure to post pictures of what you make. We are visual people here and LOVE pictures!

Welcome! There should be lots of plate flower info if you type it into the search bar as well...but, I warn you..they are terribly addicting! But so much fun and they look great in your garden! Don't forget to let us see your creations...we love pictures!

Hi,
I did look at posts and it became bewildering...lol. I guess I will look a these goops more closely. Are they in the caulking section...well I guess they have the expoxy's by the caulking. I will go have a looksy. I am very familiar with most glues and epoxy's. I used to use liquid nails a lot for fixing stuff. But will look for this GE II stuff next time I go to the Hardware store.

Concrete - thanks for ALL the info. Kirk...just wonderous flowers! Everyone..beautiful flowers I looked at the photo album for glass.
