Tweet

Hi all somewhere on here a long time ago someone posted about how to adhere pvc to the back of their tombstones to make them stand up straight. I remember the glue they used did not deteriorate the actually foam. does anyone on here know what that was they used. I dont have time to make backs for my tombstones and well I need to do it thsi way and I cant afford to eat up anymore of what I used and what I used doesnt stay well. PLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEASE any help Ive got hubby out there now and I have to take advantage while I can!

this works great spooky

Liquid Nails Foam Board glue. Avalible at Lowes or Home Depot. Even just normal Liquid Nails works great. also if you can carefully slide a 1/2" piece of steel electrical conduit inside the bottom of the head stone, then all you do is hammer a piece of rebar into your lawn and slide the tomb down on it. no stakes are visible front or back. hope this helps!

I always use Liquid Nails Construction Adhesive.

I prefer liquid nails but these days I go out after an election and pick up the signs not only are they great for tomb stones but they also make great dow rods

I'll voice my support for Gorilla Glue if you can easily weigh the project down. Otherwise, Liquid Nails Foam Glue is the way to go.

I prefer 3M 77. I use a 1/2 inch spiral drill bit into the bottom with 1/2 inch pvc. Spray a little 3M into the hole and shove in the pvc. Don't wait long or you won't get it in. The glue only holds the pvc in place. The tight fit will secure the stone. Works great.

Thank you all so so much! I plan on getting the rest of my tombstones fixed tomorrow thanks to all of your help!!

Plain old hot glue.

Hi, I have ,in the past, used plastic milk crates. Paint them black and set them behind the tombstones. Now you can just ZipTie the stones to the crates. And when the season is over simply cut the ZipTies and the crates make good ,stackable, storage.
