Will it hold?
I would like to glue some 4x4 ceramic tiles (house numbers) to my entry
door. (Covering up some discolored areas.) The door was previously coated with satin spar varnish. Will any glue hold on the varnish, if so, what kind of glue should I use? -- Walter www.rationality.net - |

Will any glue hold on the varnish, if so, what kind of glue should I use? We cannot answer without more information. Adhesive properties vary with humidity, high and low temperatures (cf. differential rates of expansion of ceramic and wood materials), exposure to rain (whether ice or rain can build up on the top edge of the tile and pentrate behind it (and so on.) The simplest way to attach tile to wood is usually to place the tile in a wooden frame that is screwed to the wood. -- Don Phillipson Carlsbad Springs (Ottawa, Canada) |

If needed, support with masking tape until dry. -- dadiOH ____________________________ dadiOH's dandies v3.06... ....a help file of info about MP3s, recording from LP/cassette and tips & tricks on this and that.
