Building Rock Walls
Posted by Anonymous on Wednesday, January 24, 2007 8:17 AM
Can someone please give me some advice on the type of glue to use to hold real rocks together in building a rock wall? Glue must not show so it must be of the "clear" coposition type.

Wall will be about 2 inches in height, larger at the bottom, narrow at the top.

I am recreating an old 1858 US Army fort that was built on the Snake River.

Please email me at steve@plucks329s.org.

Thanks.

You might get a better answer at Model RR or Classic Toy train forums, but I would use E6000 by GOOP-clear, strong, very good outside-I usually get mine at Michaels or AC Moore  using their weekly 40% off coupon.

Gorilla Glue is great and can also be used for outdoor applications.
