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. .
