Hi there, I'm new to stones and I need to glue a sliced agate to a hard plastic and it needs to be a strong bond. What kind of glue do you recommend? I bought E-6000 but haven't tried it yet. '
Any tips for a good glue?
Thanks!

We made some stone magnets recently and used Epoxy 330. After a couple of days I tried breaking the bond with pliers just to see how strong it was, the only thing that broke was the magnets and stones. As a bonus it dried crystal clear, not all epoxies do.

I don't think the problem is which glue will stick to the Agate rather which will stick to the plastic. Different plastics have different properties, practically nothing will stick to HDPE for example
