| I'd like to make the sculptures so that you can't see the adhesive. I've been using the landscape industrial grade caulk. Works but I can see it. I either have to learn to do a better job or find something clear. Would the GE Silicone II clear outside work on stones? |

| I've never used it on stone, but I don't know why it wouldn't work. |

| Its says "glass and tiles" but I've used it on some stones, and so far so good. But mostly small stuff. I've also used liquid nails on brick/stone with success. But that's not clear so you have to be careful for it to not show. I hope we get to see your sculptures. |

| I have used it to glue small stones to bowling balls and it has worked for years. I don't know how well GE II will work for large/heavy rocks. Weight creates stresses and it may not be up to the job if you're using big stuff. Let us know what you end up using and post pics! ~~Mimi |

| On the gorilla glue website it shows using it to put back stones on a verticle surface and set bricks. The secret is to have both receiving sides wet before applying. I use it a lot to repair large terracotta pots. I know it expands, but I have found if you stay with it and keep removing the expansion glue it is easier. I some times remove the rest or any I missed with a razor blade when dry. |
