Adhesive advice

[Ken Fitzgerald]

Yesterday I posted my Saturday's lathing disaster. Today the LOML and I drove to Spokane. I purchased some cherry and some tigerwood. This evening I turned and began the finishing of a tigerwood stem for a glass goblet. Tiger wood turns well and I'm happy with the figure in the wood. I will take photos and post later.

Question...I need to adhere the glass goblet to the stem I turned....Would you use epoxy or RTV as an adhesive?

Thanks!

Ken, you can try an adhesive called "E 6000", Very good stuff, and will adhere just about anything to anything. I have seen it at Walmart, and all the chain craft stores.

Or, try this website:

Ken I have used both Silicone and the E 6000. Both work well with glass.
