Best glue for adhering cork to coaster?

[Scrapjanny]

I made some tumbled tile coasters (Thanks, Gina K. for your wonderful video!), and I bought some sheet cork to put on the bottoms. (I couldn't find the self-adhesive circles.) Does anyone have any recommendations as to the best glue for the job? I was thinking E6000, but I'm open to other suggestions. Thanks!

Hi Jeanette!

Try this website:

There wasn't an option for cork but if you put in wood or other things you can read about different types (brands) of glues and that might help you find one. I've read that E6000 is a good bonding agent but is nasty in other ways so I try to avoid it.

HTH!

I have made several sets of tumbled tile coasters including these. I used sheet cork and E6000 on them. I have used this set in my family room since making them and the cork is still firmly attached. I will have to say that E6000 has a strong odor and I glued the cork on outside and left them out there in the open air for awhile before bringing them inside.

Thanks for the replies, ladies. I ended up punching small circles from the thin cork sheets I bought, and I used E6000. So far, so good.

I made lots of coasters for last Christmas and I used Mod Podge to put the cork on .. worked a treat and is still holding strong.

I've used the red line tape or sticky strip tape. It's so strong and I haven't had any problems with the cork at all.

Good Luck and have fun!

On all of my coasters I used Pritt gel glue to adhere my cork.

I know someone who lined the cork with scor-tape, all along the edges then several strips in the middle - she said it worked wonders and is still sticking strong. I know Scor-tape also has scor-sheets out there - that might work.

I used Liquid Nails (comes in a tube and is clear) for 75 coasters and after two years the cork remains attached.

My thoughts exactly! Have had great luck with E6000, but it is definitely stinky!
