E6000 is not water proofed and like silicones will turn yellow in time.
There is an UV6800 which is UV-Resistant and waterproof.

I tried Triolyse and it worked like a charm and crystal clear. I glues 2 pieces together and could not get them apart, and..you could not see the adhesive at all. Got to love it!

I scraped the first edition as I was not happy with it, or the look of the glue.....so....I started from scratch again and am very pleased with the results this time.

Oh, Kev that is to bad about the glue problem, I really liked the first one.  This one is cool too though.

I just went to the Natonal Art Craft web site to find the glue I always used when I was teaching ceramics, and used it on several sg things too, dang they don't have it anymore.  The stuff was called "glass glue".  I used it for like 25 years.  Never had any issues with it either.  I remember doing some decorative wall plaques with difference scenes in them that held an outdoor thermomitor in them.  I had one at my back door for like at least 15 years.  The glass insert never came out and the glue never discolored.  That thing was outside 12 months a year all that time.  The ceramic paints fadded after all those years but the glass thing a ma jig was still like new.

They both turned out very well. Too bad you did not like the glue on the first one. If you try something like this again, try colored glass on the bottom so the glue is not as noticable if a little shows.

Or do some fancy solder work.
