Strong Adhesive needed ?
I have to bond some rubber blocks onto natural slate I was thinking of using TIger Seal as it's a pretty good alround adhesive anyone have any advice as to a better option or have I got the best one in mind ?
My only worry is if water will cause a problem as it is ouside and though not submerged the surrounding slate will get wet when it rains. The blocks are about 8"x2"x2" in size so there is a reasonable contact area of 16 sq inches.. |

Thats what I would use too. Only thing is, when you say water do you mean just because its outside or a pond? Not sure if tigerseal would have toxins in it for a pond.

I've used CT_1 to refix my front bump stops on the troll and they have not moved
Also to bond some slate together to make a bathe for our snakes and they are OK too |

I use silkaflex to bond everything. Cheaper than tiger seal. And trust me you will struggle to part anything you stick with it.
Half my greenhouse roof is silkaflex. |

dunno if this helps am I'm not sure on drilling slate but i would consider drilling the slate poke a bolt up from underneath, drill the block and fill with a resin fixing from screwfix, this will be completely water tight and pretty strong
