I have used different kinds of adhesive to make these flowers and the only kind that lasted longest is marine silicone. I live in Fairbanks Ak and this silicone withstands the freezing better. Also, not all colored glass is natural. Often it is paint that fades or peels off. Scratch the bottom to see if the paint comes off. Or look through the edge of glass and painted glass will appear to have a darker color on the outsides and the inside will look clear and colorless. I like you idea for mounting it on with a hockey puck! That has more strength to hold so much more weight than a pipe bracket that i was trying. A piece of well painted wood could work too.

@MyLittleSliceofParadise 2 ай бұрын

Thank you for that info, from the other side of the country! : ) Good to know about the silicone. I bet it's harder to apply because it's so thick? But strength is what matters. I am actually in the process of videoing an adhesive experiment to see which ones work the best. Should be done this summer : )

@@MyLittleSliceofParadise now i have discoved "Flex Paste" and it comes in black or white. It is very sticky and hard to smooth out but it will stop pipe leaks and can be used outside. I think this is a better option. But it takes up to 48hrs ro cure.

I'd buy if from you if you'd sell it. Its SO pretty! 💖 I love the pink and clear too. I'd paint those hockey pucks white, but that's me.
