I have three options for sticking this problem back together, and I'd like to know which will work best. Durability is front of mind; what will last the longest? It's outdoors, exposed to the elements. Daily thermal expansion and contraction is a factor. The materials to join are stone — likely slate, and a metal — possibly brass. And my options are these:

---

• Silicone Sealant

---

• 2-part Epoxy

---

• Construction Adhesive

Silicon feel the easiest,but it won't last... epoxy is very good,but considering the temperature changes could be too hard,I'm not sure... I find construction adhesive to be the best candidate,well depends on which kind...my guess will be something like a Joint Compound...it feels and looks like silicone but it has way better properties...it's made for the outside elements..

Now that I have read the original post and seen some pics...a metal epoxy will work best... I see you are not in America,but I hope you can find any J&B metal epoxy...it worked great for me even fixing a cracked engine block..

Thanks for your comment! That's interesting. Must be decent stuff if it held your engine block together. How long has that lasted now?

[abbak7]

It was not my truck,but the car was driven for about a year until it went through un accident and was scrapped...

Wow damn. Still though a whole year of running is a long time. Very strong epoxy, definitely need to look at getting some somehow. Thank you

2-part epoxy could also be useful in this situation, though overall, construction adhesive would probably be better.

Thank you very much! I was leaning away from the construction adhesive at first as I figure it's designed primarily for timber. Reconsidering that now. Cheers for your input, much appreciated
