Bonding sandstone slabs to wooden frame

Ted Plain · 2015-08-20 11:48:22

I have some spare sandstone tiles and want to make raised beds from them. I have made a wooden frame and plan on bonding the tiles to it. Does anyone know what a suitable adhesive would be? Would a good quality silicone sealant do the job? Does the sandstone need to be primed for the adhesive to take? Thanks! JV

I would expect you'd be better off with a more suitable adhesive such as Power Grab and Bond (no experience in using it just found from a web search)
