Devaji · Aug 21, 2019

so I have then project where i need to silicone a pice of glass to wood how well will it hold after a 3+ day cure time? should not be to much weight...

I want to use silicone as I might want to change things around so removable would be a great + I dont might using a good amount of silicone if that helps.

Reminds me of a time I thought Duct tape would plug a hole on the hose.

Probably about an equal chance of success here

yeah that is what I thought. BOOO dream stealers you guys are...haha

ok what are my options? I thought of heavy duty Velcro...no the real HD stuff I had some in the past that was amazing.

magnets alot of strong earth ones.

or just buckt up and use a proper construction adhesive. dont really want to make it permanent tho. but do need it to stay on.

thoughts?

Could you just make a frame for your glass?

What exactly are you wanting to do? Would the silicone be hidden? You could screw a piece of plastic or metal to the wood to get better adhesion.

I thought of industrial velcro but after reading some reviews i might pass on that.

open to any other thoughts .

I'm wondering what the project is? Unless I've missed it. A better description of the project might lead to better more accurate recommendations on a material to use...
