I have heard that Gorilla Glue caused the substrate to break after a while-- not sure but we were warned about it. Of course there are many types of Gorilla glue now.
It does need to be this particular one as they make so many different types. This adhesive, even dry retains flexibility so will allow the glass to expand and contract in heat and cold but, using anything like a superglue will cause the glass to crack. This I know from experience from when I first started 21 years ago. I used a superglue and the whole piece cracked right across over time.
Not a problem, the silicone, which I only use on mirror and non-transparent bases, like fibreglass, bowling balls, I use Everbuild general purpose, but also Sudal make one that is recommended. I saw the other build in my online shop. But if you’re not sure run the same test using using silicones and see which one comes out best, or just test one silicone instead of having to buy several of them.
So so interesting and helpful!! Thank you!!
It’s a bit long-winded and takes time, but once you do it, you can be 100% sure that you’re not going to have problems with your work later on.
@@SueSmithGlassMosaics Not long-winded at all! I found it very concise and thorough.
Thank you for sharing your findings. A very good experiment. :)
Great information Sue, Thank you! x
Thank you! New glue for my toolkit, much appreciated!
You’re very welcome
Brilliant test. We have limited types of glue in South Africa, but we do have Gorilla
Hopefully, you can find this Clear glue but if not, you can use the test process to try out the adhesives you can buy in SA. Good luck.
Thanks for great testing!
Great experiment ! Thank you
Excellent information, I love the testing.
How very kind for you to share this! I'm a newbie to this and this really helps. Would you use this with your glass on mirror also?
Hi Cindy, yes absolutely. It will work just as well on the mirror.
Hi Sue, thanks for the great comparison. Would you consider using the Gorilla glue for your glass on mirror work, instead of the Silicone?
Hi Alison, yes. I have been considering it, but I find a silicone easier to use.

Thanks for testing all the glues. Is the Gorilla glue odour free?
I haven’t noticed any smell. I’m sure it must have some but it’s not obvious.
Sorry to be a pain but I'm unable to see properly. I understand gorilla glue clear is best. But which silicone one tuened out best please?
I didn’t test silicone. This is a glass on clear glass (GOG) or clear acrylic adhesive test, which country are you in?
@@SueSmithGlassMosaics Oh sorry , that'll teach me for not paying attention 😂 I'm uk based

@@SueSmithGlassMosaics Thankyou Sue , Very much appreciated 😀
@@Lorraines3DPrints you can buy the silicon I use in B & M stores, Amazon and most DIY
