Special Notes:
|
This glue was developed for the craft industry, as opposed to GS's other beading glue, Hypo Cement (below), which was made for watchmakers. Keep both on hand - one for bonding non-porous surfaces, the other for bonding porous ones. Both have a very fine applicator that makes it possible to glue with pinpoint precision.

cure for 24 hours
|
half-drill beads

Application:

Works for all types of non-porous bonding such as setting cabochons into a bezel or gluing glass beads together. Many beaders have also used it to seal knots, but see GS Hypo's fabric cement- that's probably a better bet.

Special Notes:
|
This glue was originally made for watchmakers. The tube has a pinpoint applicator that makes it possible to do precision gluing.

Special Notes:
|
Epoxy will only harden once it is mixed with its curing agent. This two-part epoxy has a nozzle that measures and dispenses the proper amounts so there's no guesswork on the formula. This epoxy will not shrink or be affected by water, oil or gasoline. Make sure to use proper ventilation when using this product.
