Its an art project-I am thinking of gluing them on- has anyone tried Gorilla Glue? Does it work on tile?or maybe using Epoxy so in a sense they are covered and "grouted together. Could I "glue them on that way or epoxy them in groupings first and then glue the group to the wood? Ideas? The tile is going on a fiberglass piece-glue suggestions for that too---

I should add I am using wood pieces that I am aging andbeating up to look old, not actual RxR ties because of the cresote(?) on them. The fiberglass part of the scupture is above the wood and I want to tile it in 1x1" tiles. I used liquid nails before on fiberglass- ok but would like better-outside exposure too...a problem?

Gorilla Glue is great stuff, just bear in mind that it is an expanding glue, and you may have some sanding to do after your gluing, or you can bare in mind the old addage "less is more"
love your logo, by the way. would love to see some of your art.

I really think polyurethane glue (Gorilla) is the wrong sauce for your project. It will foam as it reacts with the moisture in the air and obscure part of your shells. Epoxy is a costly way to do it, but would work. You could tack metal screen as a backing and put tile adhesive, then set the tiles into that. Latex caulk like Liquid Nails would work pretty good to. Make sure RR tie isn't splintering. I would nail four boards in a hollow square form to keep the weight down.

There is an epoxy glue called "Locktite". There is a water proof version that would work on both wood, fiberglass, and ceramic. That is what i would use.

Are these railroad ties? If so, think about creosote (what's gonna be all over your ties). Gorilla Glue is supposed to be some wicked-bad stuff, but I don't know if it's bad enough to stick to creosote. If they aren't, and they're untreated lumber, there shouldn't be any problem.

gorilla glue is the answer to your art project.....all that is necessary when using g..glue is needing to be able to hold the shells etc in position until set up has ocurred.......the glue is strong but will not set up like super glue.

gorrilla glue is fine if there is surface coverage and pressure applied. I would use liquid nails and allow to dry overnight. epoxy is probably simple overkill for this if i'm reading your quest right. good luck

I think liquid nails is your best choice, or construction adhesive. Just put a clear exterior sealer over the finished product. It can be sprayed or brushed on.
