I have purchased a bunch of flat beach stones at a super discount price. They measure 1 to 1/2 inches and 1/4 thick. I was wondering if I can mosaic them on to a wooden mirror frame. I am concerned about the adhesion since both sides of the stones are polished. is there a special adehsive or method i can use?
Welcoming all tips!
Thanks.

oooh that sounds pretty! I absolutely love rocks/stones. Definintely scuff the mirror frame with sandpaper. Personally, I would try a test board first with GE II Silicone or Liquid Nails (clear). Others probably have more tried and true advice though. :-D keep us posted on your progress!
