Finally got my beach glass pieces to hold together right

For months I was trying to attach smooth glass bits with regular craft glue, and everything kept falling apart after a day. Last week I switched to a two-part clear epoxy made for non-porous surfaces, and the difference is night and day. My little seahorse sculpture made from Lake Michigan finds has been solid on the shelf for over a week now. What other adhesives work well for you all when dealing with slick surfaces like glass or ceramic?

Spot the right tool for the job and everything clicks. It's like trying to cut wrapping paper with dull scissors versus a fresh blade. I wasted a whole afternoon trying to hang a picture on a tile backsplash with the wrong wall hooks before I got the right ones. Your epoxy story is the perfect example, that moment when you stop fighting the material and start working with it.

Reminds me of my buddy trying to fix his deck with regular wood screws. They just kept stripping out. He finally got the right kind, those coated ones, and said it felt like the wood was helping him instead of fighting back. Total game changer.
