Adhesive for Wood/Glass Sculpture
Posted: Tue Feb 04, 2014 1:39 pm
Looking for some expert adviceā¦
I'm commissioned to create a yellow cedar (an oily wood) and glass sculpture to be placed outside in Alaska - temp range 0-80F, windy and very wet coastal environment. Wood will have various sized windows into which fused glass will be placed. I need some kind of adhesive/sealant, caulking, glazing ??? with which to secure the glass indefinitely. If clear, it can't yellow, or if glazing, it needs to match the wood in color.
Anyone have any experience with this kind of problem? I've tried various locktite silicones, etc., but unsure of the best product or approach.
Thanks!
