ge silicone II question

14 years ago

i have a question...i used the GE silicone to glue some marbles and rhinestones onto a hard plastic cutting board. the rhinestones seem to stick fine but the marbles came off like they were stuck on with a very flexible rubber cement,, just peeled right off,, what did i do wrong or what adhesive should i use on that type of surface

Did you clean everything real good before applying glue? I sometimes use alcohol to wipe things and let it dry and then glue. There is no other reason that I can think of that would keep the marbles from sticking. Also its better to let things set up for at least 24 hours before messing with it. Hope this helps.
