Hi

I hope this is the right place to ask this question. My soap dish fell off in the Corian shower stall, I want to glue it back, I want to find a glue that is water proof for Corian. I want to get some suggestions.

Thanks

What have you looked at so far? There are plenty of epoxies that are waterproof.

Do not use TiteBond III. It claims to be waterproof but I have not found it to be so.

Thanks for the reply, I have not try anything, I cannot afford to make mistake, so I ask first. Do you have an epoxy brand you can recommend?
 
I vote for the silicone. It will likely work well but if it doesn't it is probably removable with a blade.
Be certain the surfaces are absolutely dry.
