I have been out and bought 8 or 9 slate tiles (about 30cm x 30cm) to use to create platform areas/basking areas in my vivs for my bearded dragons.
Slate is about 1 cm thick, and i also got several broken tiles thrown in (i asked in wickes if i could be cheeky and get them cheap or something as they obviously wouldnt sell, the guy in store said i could have them for free as long as i donated some money to the charity they were collecting for!)
What i am wondering, is whats the best way to fix these things together.
I want to create some pillar supports and then use the full tiles to create a ledge in the basking area. so the broken tiles are going to be broken up some more and then a pillar made out of them, the square full tiles are going to have one edge broken away to give a natural edge to it but still with the majority of the tile as a whole (imagine like a corner had been bitten off)
I'm then going to attach another piece to give a ramp up onto one side and situate the corner into the corner of the vivarium.
What i am wondering is what can i use to hold it together? Would silicon sealant be appropriate/strong enough?
I've included a fantastic drawing by a top architect of what the finished product will look like *cough* just so you know what i mean.
