    I use crazy glue gel and apoxy. Together these to create a bond that is very good. Once it is set in

    I currently have 5 frags glued to my vertical front of my Coast to Coast overflow, and they're sticking well.
    It's glass also btw.

    I cleaned the area briefly by scrubbing with a firm toothbruch I use for my tnak stuff.
    Apply liberal amount (did I say liberal?), scratch that, adequate amount of glue; I used IC Gel, on the piece you want to glue to the vertical, and push and hold it in the area you cleaned for at least 30 seconds.
    'Viola- mine stuck.
