Glue/Exopy Question
Posted by PJM20 on Friday, February 26, 2010 6:40 AM

What kind of glue/exopy would you use to bond rocks together and is suitable for outdoor use. Thanks for the help. - Peter

 It'd depend on exactly what you intend as to the use of epoxy or grout/mortar . Keep in mind epoxy will give the rock a wet look on the surface. Most epoxies will work ok.

I intend to us rocks or pebbles to make a stone wall and to give it that "thrown together" look.

Give "Marine Goop" a try. Easy to work with, cures clean, stands up very well to the weather.
