what type of glue do I use for marbles on a clay pot?
do i use ceramic tile adhesive, clear cement or something else?
since im going to use ceramic tile adhesive for the tile pieces, im not sure if this adhesive will work for flat bottomed marbles. Im a beginner on doing mosaics, so any suggestions can help.
If they are flat bottomed then you are actually working with nuggets or glass jewels, but that doesn't matter
The glue you want to use is a hard setting silicone adhesive that behaves as a contact cement so you can apply without having to support with plasticine or tape as in one answer
and those are the self-leveling (and fairly stinky) E6000 and the more gel like GOOP Craft or Marine both of which are clear.
Both will work as globby adhesives that take a while to set, but if you look at the packaging, the intended method is to put a small blob in place, squash it to make it thin and on both surfaces, pull apart for 10-15 seconds depending on air temp and then put it back and it will stick and be very hard to move.

As with all adhesives, the surfaces need to be clean and grease/fingerprint free for best results.
