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.

Thanks Chas, filed away for future reference.

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.
