I've gotten a request to do a granite pet memorial for a friend of the family. It will be outside. I believe a piece of granite floor tile I have will work.

Is there a reason I'd need something thicker?

The person would like to attach it to a very large rock. I'm thinking construction adhesive. Any comments?

There are special epoxies for rock. They hold extremely well. I had to have a marble tile cut to fit on a base for a large statue of a saint. It was a leftover piece from the construction of the base. The cutter supplied some special epoxy.

I scuffed the area to be adhered to just to be sure and applied the mixed epoxy, then taped the block to it. (It was a vertical piece.) A half hour later I remover the tape. It has been hit a few times during cleaning in the past 5 years and it still as solid as a rock. [Pun intended.]

Thanks Harvey,

I'll have to check some of the local stores.

James,

If its put on the ground, and not mounted to a stone, would 3/8 granite be a problem?

Not sure what you use in your bathroom. It's the concrete type, not the latex type that is normally used in kitchens and bathrooms. I've even used quick set with great results.

If you are planning on placing it on flat ground, I would dig down about 2 inches and place a 2" wood form around it and fill it with quick set and level it out and place the tile on it before it sets., then remove the form after it sets and your done.
