I want to glue a brass sundial to a fir tree log stump (don't ask me why). What kind of glue should I use?

If you use this, it is permanent!
To remove the sundial, you will have to destroy the wood.
It takes about 7 days to cure, depending on the temperature.
You could just put a few blobs down (close to the edge of the sundial), so you can razer knife it up later.

Glue For Brass

Gorilla glue. Or, some wood glues will work just as well but take longer to dry. I've had good luck cementing bricks to wood. There's different grades of glue, read the label.

Again, sorry to crash the thread (3 people sit down all of a sudden)!
And for the sake of argument, how would I (at a later date) make it more solid and permanent, and possibly load bearing so that you can walk on top?
You need a strong wooden or steel grame beneath it. I was going to say, watch out for any light fittings if going through the ceiling with power tools.

If it were me I would rout a groove where I want the brass to go to and then epoxy it into that groove. Since it will be outdoors exposed to weather choose an epoxy that can take the moisture and temperature changes.

I would recommend E-6000 or Goop silicone glues which are very tough and have enough flexibility to cope with the different expansion rates.

Use 5 minute epoxy. Walmart has it as do many home supply stores.

any good contact adhesive should do, or try grip fill a builders adhesive, you need a mastic gun to apply it and its strong stuff and will stick almost anything
