How to Make Waterproof Glass Gluethumbnail
Gluing glass pieces together is easy.

Waterproof glass glue is the best glue to use for projects in which glass must be adhered to glass. For gluing decorations on glass jars, it is best to use the glue in its liquid state. For gluing marbles together or for gluing other glass pieces use the glue in its gelled state. You can also use this glass glue in its gelled state to glue metal or glass decorations or ornaments to metal cans or glass jars. This glue is waterproof and can also be used to mend china, to glue labels on home canned foods and jars of jellies or to glue wood to wood.

    Things You'll Need

    • 1/2 oz. unflavored gelatin

    • 3 tablespoons skim milk
    • Clove oil
    • Small bowl
      • 1

        Heat the milk just to the boiling point and pour it into the softened gelatin mixture. Stir until the gelatin is dissolved.
