Hi all - can someone point me in the right direction for the best glue/adhesive etc for glueing seashells, polished rocks and glass objects (eg marbles) onto glass jars and bottles.   Thanks

I would choose some epoxy resin which is also clear.
Cheers,
Peter

Peter,
I've found epoxies tend to "yellow" after a while.
I generally use a quality super glue. Selleys have a brushable one on the market (store the bottle upright, keep cool).

Bostik V4 is a neutral curing, low modulus silicone sealant, designed for superior adhesion to metal and masonry surfaces. It cures by absorption of atmospheric moisture to form a flexible and durable elastomeric seal.

I think the best glue would be a clear hot glue gun glue stick. Hot glue guns work quickly, dry quickly, and provide a strong hold. You can get perfectly clear glue gun glue sticks on-line.
