I am restoring an antique pool table for a customer. I had to replace the original slate frames. Originally theye were glued down and I tried doing the same with Locktite construction adhesive. The frames didnt adhere to the slate. Anyone know of a better product for this application?

>Think it will workGorilla advertises their glue is for materials other than wood; wood to metal; wood to stone etc.You could use contact cement or epoxy. Here is epoxy sitehttp://www.systemthree.com/index_2.aspgood stuff. Can buy in smaller quantities if you get the T-88 kit.All kinds of additives/fillers etc are available to modify the System Three epoxy.Gorilla if you have excellent fit up. Contact if you have a lot of humidity and temp swing. Epoxy if poor fit up. Epoxy with fancy fillers if particularly bad fit up. Also epoxy not cheep.Don't you love our modern world ?I'm pulling for ya ! We are all in this together.roc

It might, it really holds well, but it really expands and foams up, so you need to be really careful with it. WEAR REALLY GOOD THICK RUBBER GLOVES or you will have stains on your hands that will last for weeks!!!!
I would use a construction adhesive PL Premium .Apply to one surface and spritz the other with water.This will work for you .I have glued sheet metal to ply wood with no problems.However it is not reversable.
I have attached soapstone to wood with 5 minute epoxy with good results.
When countertop installation crews need to adhere a granite piece in a vertical position, they generally use a quick-setting epoxy.
But I also agree that PL Premium should work.
And I also have used a urethane sealant -- a product in a caulk tube that is usually sold as a fix for cracks in concrete. That stuff will stick to almost anything, and it cures to a hard rubber-like material.
pl is a moisture curing urathane and likes 20% moisture hence the spritz
Ever use 3M 5200 marine adhesive/sealant? We use it a lot. It seems to stick to just about everything. Slate? You would need to do a test first.
