Not very active here these days, but wanted to see if anyone has ever bonded wood and/or acrylic to stone?
I have virtually every type of adhesive under the sun, but I am thinking some basic “construction adhesive” might be best, which can be bought in smaller tubes as well as the traditional ones that use a gun (although as I have guns, it may be cheaper to simply pick one of those up)…
I’m making a wedding gift in wood that will be mounted on stone, fwiw - but I may use acrylic in addition to the wood. TBD…
I only have one shot at this as the stone itself has been provided.
I pondered perhaps “flooding” the entire stone in Epoxy, which would preserve it and keep it from marking surfaces or leaving debris if it’s handled, then simply using epoxy to bond to that. I’ve never done anything like that with stone - but I used to do a lot of rc model work where the parts where essentially any kind of composite but the surface was epoxy, so you could use epoxy to bond to that.
I ended up pouring some WBPU over the best stone my daughter had chosen, and it’s produced a very solid and attractive result. I’m going to cut and bond some craft foam to the bottom side. I’ve also found a stone in my own yard similar that one, that I am going to apply the same WBPU to, then test various adhesives I have on-hand (I have over a dozen) to find the strongest but least intrusive for this project.
Plus one on the E6000. It’s my go-to whenever something non porous needs to be adhered, except for special cases (like acrylic) where you can use a solvent that dissolves the non porous item.
