I would (and have done) use either Epoxy for a non compliant fixing or Contact adhesive (like Thixofix) for a more compliant fixing. I wouldn't use silicone myself unless you want an extremely compliant mount - in which case i would use thin spacers between the materials whilst the silicone sets.

Hi All,
Thanks for the suggestions. I am not sure if i want compliant bonding between the layers, some advice on this would be great.
I held the Walnut plinth (top layer) and did the knuckle wrap test, i then lay the walnut on top of the granite and did the same. With the granite made a massive difference, so i just want them together, but i don't know if i want compliant or non compliant bonding???
Has anyone tried hardwood and granite?
The reason i would like non permanent is, i may in the future upgrade the platter and bearing, but would like to keep the walnut plinth?
Please keep your ideas coming, i really appreciate it.
Ian
