I am looking for a product that can be used to bond glass, crystal, or ceramic candle holders to china plates in order to turn them into snack tiers. It needs to be a strong bond which is waterproof and most importantly....food safe. Would this Dap...

This works beautifully with crystals and beads and I've heard it did a great job on my nephew's fish tank. He said it didn't leak and he had 40 fish and didn't lose one. I hope this helped.

The previous responses are correct - there is no 'seal' for this solid glass piece. You can use EITHER piece as the top. We use the wide flat piece as the base and then set the deeper domed piece on top of that. It will hold 2 quarter pound sticks of butter at the same time and is easy to use from the flatter plate. The deep part remains easier to clean and it has ridges on the outer surface making it easy to hold even with wet hands. So, either way - it's not waterproof but it does a good job of fitting tightly enough together to protect the contents while remaining easy to open with one hand.

That is a tough question, Karen. I don't know how it would stand up to water, sun and temperature changes. I tried using this product (used 5 packages total) and was never satisfied with it. It forms a clear gummy compound that remains sticky with glass. The more area that is being glued the better. For outdoor use I'd consider using clear silicone. Silicone sticks to glass extremely well, isn't affected by water, sun or temperature changes (up to 600 degrees F) and keeps its form. It also costs less and has other uses around the house. Specifically, you may want to use the type used for aquariums. Something like "ASIN: B0002ASD2K, Item model number: 15905650038" or similar.

Seems to hold ok on plastics if allowed to completely dry (at least overnight). For things like stone and metal it doesn't adhere so well. Agitation more so than water itself is the problem (such as rinsing the glued item under running water). Probably better off using 4-minute epoxy, testing an inconspicuous area first to make sure the adhesive doesn't dissolve the items being glued.

I'm not going to definitively answer this one way or another (due to legal concerns), but at this link: https://www.facebook.com/GorillaGlue/posts/10151282167662526 , a representative says it is (it refers to the original glue, not necessarily other Gorilla Glue products). To be sure, if I were you, I'd maybe call Gorilla Glue's customer service line, or look at the back of a bottle in a brick and mortar store. This is a perfectly reasonable question: "food safe" basically means safe for contact with food, after curing in the case of glues, such as to repair a cup or a bowl.

Laura, I would think so if you melt candle wax by putting this over a pot with hot water on the stove. It melts the candy coatings fine so I would think it would work for candle wax too.

It has worked well for me and I've used it for a long time - 50 years +. Make sure that the plate pieces are snug until it is dry enough to hold itself and then don't fool around with it for 24 hours. It should work.,

Household silicone RTV adhesive is just fine in water (it's used for the corner joints in home aquariums), but I wouldn't trust it for repeated exposure to near-boiling water.....It just isn't strong enough at those temps.

I have not try it yet, but it is similar to the copper foil I use to make stained glass windows. I wrapped it around my flower pots to prevent snails from going over the pots and ruining y plants. The adhesive is very good quality and strong.

I am not sure China seems pretty delicate. I used it to make holes in seashells and sea glass. I think if you hhad a practice piece. I put my pieces in a plastic tub tray of water and drilled them under the water. You can look it up under You Tube. Infact I think look you drilling holes in china pieces under You Tube I believe there will be a guide for you to go by.

This glue is an excellent bonding agent, and it will bond cotton cord to metal, leather, and plastic. I have used it for about a year now in making kumihimo items and leather items with metal endcaps and it has held up very well. It dries extremely quickly and has no odor when dry ( usually about a minute), which is a plus. I have not washed anything glued with it, but I think if it just gets wet and is not soaked or washed, it will be fine. Also, a little bit goes a long way. I have used it to glue stones to a cabochon setting and that was also successful. This is my favorite go-to glue for jewelry-making. Hope this helps!

I'm sorry, but I cannot help with that one. I had a hobby shop suggest Weldbond for me to glue a glass handle on a small glass pitcher and it did not hold at all. I tried twice, let it dry in correct position, left it alone for a couple weeks and when I stood it upright after a short while the handle fell off. Again, this was smooth glass onto smooth glass. Hopefully it might hold on a painted wall. It might. It is supposed to be an excellent product, but didn't help me.

I used it to attach magnets to glass. It worked exceptionally well especially after the recommended curing time. No doubt it would attach the rearview mirror to the windshield if you can find a way to secure it while it's curing (tape?), my question would be if it would hold up to the heat and cold extremes. If my rearview mirror came off the glass, I would certain give this product a try, it really work on my application. (It was a rather heavy tempered glass plate (with sentimental value so I really didn't want it falling and breaking) that I wanted to put on my fridge. The glue was quite loose to work with, but cured like nothing I've seen before!! Super-duper strong. I used it to attach magnets to glass.

Yes, definitely! You only have to be worried about the glaze you use being non-toxic. Red, for example, sometimes has lead in it. So just make sure whatever glaze you use specifically says it's food safe!

I'm not 100% sure & maybe your best bet would be to contact the manufacturer. I did just try some on a piece of plastic & it did not etch or dissolve the plastic, and it doesn't have the strong odor that something like airplane glue has, so it seems safe. I have used it to bond cloth and paper to each other and cloth to metal only, and it really works great for those. It tacks up quickly so you don't have a lot of time if you make a mistake. And it doesn't smell so you can get by without much ventilation. I reviewed the ASTM section referred to on the label, but it just applies to health hazard statements, not contents. You can wash it off with water while it's still wet; once it dries it is permanent. Hope this helps to some extent.

my sticker came off pretty easy. I have googled before how to get sticky off of items left by stickers and I have always found Dawn Dish liquid to work with a mild abrasive sponge. I read vinegar works and WD-40 can help too. Peanut butter (same as when you use it to get gum out of things like your hair). Maybe google and find out other methods but it came off pretty easy for me for some reason.

I used it for some electrical repair, etc. where it is wrapped and then adheres to its other layers. I'm not sure how it would work if used as just one strip adhering to the two surfaces. I would suggest a good silicone kitchen sealer from a squeeze tube. Though.... It is water proof and does adhere to the original surface well.
