• Hi all and welcome to TheWoodHaven2 brought into the 21st Century, kicking and screaming! We all have Alasdair to thank for the vast bulk of the heavy lifting to get us here, no more so than me because he's taken away a huge burden of responsibility from my shoulders and brought us to this new shiny home, with all your previous content (hopefully) still intact! Please peruse and feed back. There is still plenty to do, like changing the colour scheme, adding the banner graphic, tweaking the odd setting here and there so I have added a new thread in the 'Technical Issues, Bugs and Feature Requests' forum for you to add any issues you find, any missing settings or just anything you'd like to see added/removed from the feature set that Xenforo offers. We will get to everything over the coming weeks so please be patient, but add anything at all to the thread I mention above and we promise to get to them over the next few days/weeks/months. In the meantime, please enjoy!

Is the marble loose fitted Chas? R is there some sort of seal?

This is bonded in with a semi flexible acrylic sealer Andy, I've tried all sorts of bonding over the years but wood movement is a problem over time, anything too rigid such as 'Hot Melt' can result in just coming loose or worst case cracked marble.

A loose Marble is risky as it's almost inevitable someone will drop it, not realising it's not fixed.

Aren’t all acrylic sealants flexible? Or should I be looking for a particular type?

I’ll be fixing some cut ceramic tiles into wood bases soon to be used as coasters.

I would not know Andy. I just make sure to highlight that it's desirable to have flexible interface between wood and stone/ceramic substrates because of the inevitable wood movement.

Some folks don't bond the tiles but I think the odds on dropping the tile during handling in use are too high.
