Good Day, John! Thanks for the reply. I have subsequently spoken to the supplier who has indicated using the same UV-cured "stuff" that is used for glass-to-glass. For this glass-to-marble situation, do you prefer the epoxy over the typical UV solvent that we all typically use for glass-to-glass applications? If so, why? And where do you purchase what you are using? Brand? Thanks, again. Ed Holley Victor Valley Trophy Co. and Coffee Mugs Online www.coffeemugsonline.com

Just be sure to clean the marble well. There is usually a wax coating on it from the final polishing operation. If the glass will hide scratch marks, (the adhesive will reduce the appearance of them), sand the area under the glass for better adhesion.

For a really aggressive hold check with a monument/marble maker for the name of the epoxy they use.

We just sorta waded into doing crystal awards. We just tried the clear fast drying 2part epoxy from the auto store next door at first. We do a lot now but since it works so well never bothered getting the uv system. Not all that impressed with uv since we have had more than a few brought in to be re-attached that fell apart that were purchased from other places. Maybe they just didn't cure it long enough or something. We have used the epoxy on some odd shaped items like stars and animals with limited contact areas and they have still held well. .
