Have done clear resin on a tabletop, with buttons. Not sure about if it would stick to glass. Glue bottle cap to surface first, so they don't move/float. Just a drop or two of super glue to hold them there.


Do it on a day with low humidity. mix slowly Pour slowly So you don't get bubbles in the resin. do about half an inch wait a couple of days for it to set then do a second pour if you need to. It shrinks a little as it cures. Resin is fun stuff. If you've not dome it before, just follow the instructions for mixing. And you might want to do a small piece first before tackling a large job..I want to pour a clear resin on top of glass to secure bottle caps in place. Do you have any suggestions?
So I just finished two glass tables using a clear resin, one adhering bottle caps, the other wine corks. Both worked flawlessly, acting as a glue. I highly recommend this method as long as you are meticulous and careful and have good ventilation.

A problem I see with bottle caps is the hollow underneath. Resin sticks to glass just fine, but the glass has to be very clean (soap and water, rinse, denatured alcohol).


If you didn't want to encase the caps, then you might look at E6000 with is a silicone adhesive that is self leveling, works well with glass and is pretty stinky. http://users.ticnet.com/mikefirth/glues.鈥?/a>


You will want to do tests on small pieces of glass.
there are several products avlable at the arts and craft stores or on line under arts and craft sites
