Well I guess nobody knows what we in the construction trades do when installing a dishwasher into any type of stone top.


We clean the underside of the material with alcohol and then glue a small strip of wood in the correct location to accept the clips from the dishwasher. Let the epoxy/glue set up a few hours, then use small screws to attach the clips to the wood pc.What type of adhesive should i use to glue metal tabs ontop of dishwater to granite countertops.?
i would try an epoxy. 2 ton should do, if you think it will be too runny, look for a putty. it should still be a two part mixture, just knead togeather with gloves or a putty knife, and dont use this dishwasher for a few days so it can cure.
The countertop should have been drilled for the screws that connect the DW to it. You could probably use something like JB Weld, but no guarantees since the motor and wands will cause vibration.
