This waterproof silicone sealant is the best overall glue for outdoor use. It works for all my garden art projects including dish flowers that stay outside, all year-round in a cold climate.

I get a lot of emails from people having trouble making the flat marbles or other decorations on their garden art projects stick or adhere, so I’ve written up this page with my best tips and trouble-shooting information.
This article focuses on the one adhesive I find reliable for just about everything, but there are also other options listed in the Guide to Choosing Outdoor Adhesives including E6000 and E8000.
I use GE Silicone II Sealant for most of my garden art projects. It is called ‘sealant’ but works as an adhesive for aluminum, stainless steel, wood, masonry, brick, concrete, painted surfaces, vinyl and plastic. I mainly use it for glass garden art.
Keep in mind, this is just for attaching stuff together.
But it does a fabulous job sticking stuff together permanently, holding up in crazy weather conditions (both extreme heat and cold) for years and years.

Keep in mind that it is permanent. You cannot remove it once it has dried, and you cannot apply more adhesive to an existing layer once it has dried. So work thoughtfully.
It is sold in home improvement stores in the caulking section. You can buy it in a tube or a cartridge that uses a caulking dispenser. The cartridges are about half the cost of the tubes.
I make garden art items that I leave outside, year-round, through the Canadian summer heat and winter wet and cold. I do not want to have to bring them indoors for half the year so I like a product that forms a strong, long-lasting bond.
While there are other products that may work as well, I recommend this specific one because it always works for me.
If you’re new to making garden art projects like garden balls , totems, garden treasure jars, and dish flowers, these tips should help you succeed. They are all easy projects but do require the right product and technique provided in the tips here as well as the project instructions on this site.

You have to willing to experiment and find what works best in your climate. If you have something you like better, use it.
