The application of glue is very simple and requires no special skills. For squeezing adhesives, you can use a squeezer for one-component adhesives - also available in any supermarket.

How to glue stones in a pond?

ATK 812 glue is perfect for all kinds of stones - mainly stones in the pond. The aesthetics will be improved by gray or black color. The whole thing pre-sets from 1 to 2 hours - of course it all depends on the thickness of the adhesive and the material. You will achieve full bonding after 24 hours. If the pond is made of PVC, there is no problem, you can even glue decorative stones, pebbles and others under water. Just remember to wash the stone well from sand and slippery surfaces if it is outdoors or under water.

 

In the video you will see not only gluing under water, but also the strength of the glue even after several minutes.
