Glue for slate

[toke]

Accidentally posted this in the wrong one before but heres my question again in the right forum-
I wanna build hides out of the 6 inch and 3 inch slate tiles i have left over and was wondering what glue is good to use. I used E6000 Industrial Strength Adhesive for one hide and was going to let it dry and gas out for 24 hours is it safe to use if i do that or should i get something different? heres what this one looks like its not attached on the bottom so its really easy to move around

Thanks for sharing pictures. Don't know the answer about the adhesive. Perhaps if you post this in GU's DIY subforum someone will answer.

Just a question about your slate tiles: How thick are they? I am wondering whether they might be too thick when using the UTH? If they are too thick, then it seems like the heat will not be adequately transferred.

Ill do that thanks elizabeth. and they are a bit thick but luckly my uth runs a bit hot with no thermostat so temps on top read between 89-92 degrees!

I personally only used aquarium safe silicone (the kind they use to glue the aquarium tanks together) to glue up the slate together.

Main reason was because my project was to put the finished piece into a freshwater aquarium tank, so might as well use the silicone used to put the aquarium together.

I let mine gas out for about a week to be sure.

yup aquarium silicon. Here it is about $20 a tube, rather than three or four dollars for hardware store stuff. I find the cylinder with the gun is more economical than the tube (I have the silicon burst out the bottom of the tube-fun, let me tell you

Need an image to see what it looks like?
