Stained Glass & Mosaics

Help?

16 years ago

Does anyone know of something that will adhere metal to glass securely? I have tried everything I can think of and nothing has worked...I am trying to hinge something and want it to look nice and be secure when I finish. If I get it to work, you all will be the first to see the finished project. Please help? I would be completely in your debt...

Thanks

Are you gluing the hinge onto the glass? I'm not sure any adhesive would be as secure as you need it to be to stay in place with all that movement. Maybe a better solution would be to drill holes into the glass and attach the hinge with screws. But you'd need to do something to protect the glass from the screws.

My husband, the master Googler, found the website below. Sounds like the consensus is that E-6000 was the best option for this artist's needs. But Hxtal is best option for hardcore needs. (Read the conversation for specifics.)

Good lluck!
