Adhesive for fixing stained glass mosaic to BACK of glass table top

[evansmommy]

Hi, tilers! I am hoping what I want to do is not impossible. I have an outdoor table with a glass top. I would like to create a stained glass mosaic on the underside of the table (so that the surface will be completely smooth). Can you recommend an adhesive that would be:

1. Strong enough to hold the glass against gravity
2. Clear so that it will allow the mosaic to show through
3. Freeze resistant (since it will be outdoors...but, being on the backside, it at least won't have to stand up to frozen water)

Thank you so much for any input.

I think one of the problems is that you can't put spots of say superglue on there as it will most probably show and also, unless you were very careful, you'd end up with gaps for moisture infiltration. Another option would be to use a continuous later of a clear construction adhesive (such as CT1) but I'm not sure how that would look. Or........ have the table upside down, lay the stained glass on the underside of the base and attach a sheet of perspex, the same dimensions as the top, to hold them in place and seal the edges.

Thanks. I do intend to grout between the glass pieces with epoxy or urethane.
