    What is the best (strongest) adhesive to adhere sterling to stone?
    Cure time is not a consideration, in fact a long "open time" is
    appreciated. 

    I have found that even JB Weld two part epoxy can fail when exposed
    to the heat of the polishing wheel. 

    The adhesive must also be able to withstand attack from various
    washing chemicals. 

    It's a tough one but you guys have been great in the past. 

Thanks,
