this was so helpful, thank you! i couldnt figure out how to get it to stop leaking!
Happy to help! 🙂
Good info and can't wait to see if longer than 24 hr cure time makes it stronger.
I have never used it for anything but knots, but its good to know that GS Hypo cement isn't cut out for everything! Blessings!
Yeah, sadly I didn't find it so. :(
Should have waited to comment till whole video played for that 2 week test result, huh!! Thanks for the 2nd testing!! Great info!!
Haha, I wondered about that! ***grin***
Thank you for testing for us Sandy. I have just bought some for jewellery making and polymer clay, oh well at least I'll have strong knots. Blessings
Yeah, they can't all be winners. :( I'd be interested to hear what kinds of results others have had, though.
I situate the tube angled up with the tip inserted lightly into a make-up sponge while uncapped. It keeps the tip from clogging and oozing while I'm working on my projects.
Yes, this is pretty much what the manufacturer recommends, although they say the sponge should have alcohol on it.
Thank you!
You are welcome! Happy creating!
I love it
I know this was a long time ago, but the three seconds it to put the lid back on was all I needed, after 20 min of frustration! I’m using it with jewelry cord, I’m wondering if E6000 is better, used it for years!!
Hope it was helpful. 🙂
Wow, I am glad to know this info! I’ve been too dependent on this glue, I’m afraid.
Hope you found it helpful, Liz!
so what do you recommend besides the gs hypro glue?
It depends on the materials you are trying to glue and what type of connection you need.
If you are working with clay, I recommend trying to create a mechanical bond that will be held in place once the material is hardened. (Such as embedding pieces in the clay in such a way that they cannot pull out after hardening.)
Otherwise, depending on the situation, E6000 and 2-part epoxy are pretty good.
can you use nail polish remover or rubbing alchol to get rid the GS Hypo glue when you're done using it?
That’s a good question, it really depends on what you have used it on, and what you are trying to accomplish.
If it’s on a hard surface, scraping it off with a razor blade might do. I’m not sure if rubbing alcohol or nail polish remover will work. Always test in an inconspicuous spot or on a test sample.
Acetone is pretty nasty stuff, so save that as a last resort.
Hope this helps, happy creating! 🙂
I so wish I’d seen this video and chatter about this glue, I’ve used it on some earrings I’ve made to lightly brush/dab over where the stitches were to keep them all in place, but I’m verging on 3 days and it’s still sticky to the touch, not like really sticking to my fingers, but just a little sticky resistance.
If anyone reads this, is there a ‘cure’ for this ? I currently have put a little E6000 overtop of one pair of my earrings to see if that will dry, I have around 20 odd pairs with this on them & the idea of losing them all makes me feral a little sick!
Thanks in advance for any help or suggestions from down here in NZ
I wonder if you were to put them in a low oven if that would help accelerate the drying?
It would depend on the design, but is it possible to dust the sticky area with something? Something like corn starch or talcum powder, or even maybe mica powders, just to take up the stickiness.
@@SandyHuntress nice idea, and thank you for taking the time to reply, but unfortunately that won’t work, the earrings are seed bead fringe earrings and they’re beaded right onto the actual earring/connector, the idea was for the glue to just stop any bits coming loose and especially on the 2 end beads, as the stitching is only on a small section of the earring where the tassels are. It does look like between using the e6000 and a good hairdryer session they may come right, I’ll post updates, and ty again! Have a good weekend & stay safe 😷❤️
Is this cement good to attach plastic beds to synthetic leather?
I’m not certain about that. The best thing for you to do would be to go to their website and read the specific uses for this glue.
I think the problem is what you're using it on...Polymeter Clay! I used it to hold gems inplace while replacing a few stones that were missing from a bracelet with a bezel setting and I had absolutely no problems!
That's entirely possible. It does say it works on non-porous surfaces, and baked polymer clay qualifies. I'm glad to know it works for your purposes!
This glue is good but my problem was putting the lid back on with that needle back in the hole, my needle 💉 didn’t go back in the hole for anything, unfortunately the needle bent. I just hope the cement doesn’t get dry now. The smell is very strong so I don’t recommend if you have pets inside the house or babies 👶 or toddlers. I need to find another glue. Thank you 😊
I agree, it was tough to get the lid back on with that needle!
hi Sandy,I bought that glue as well,,and I have to be honest, it only seems good on a knot on a stretch bracelet, I think myself mabey a clear 2 part epoxy resin glue could work better or old faithfully the Superglue,I've never had problems with clear epoxy resin or super glue,as you pieces look so nice,🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🐝🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🐞
Oh, good to know it's not just me that has trouble with it! Yeah, I was disappointed as I did love that precision tip.
Yeah I know what you mean Sandy,its not worth the money, I have bad eyesight too,even though I do beading,and had to guide the pin into the nozzel pin, the super glue, and I think the clear epoxy resin are the bests glues,but its all a matter of opinion,, have a lovely weekend Sandy,look forward to seeing more of your work just before I end here, I have to say that I did a polymers glass mug awhile back, and I cut out the polymers with little sugar paste cutters and put them on the mug, but one came off,as I forgot to stick them, but I know that they won't come off with resin epoxy or superglue,my pic is on pinterest under polymers arts and crafts,and some of my jewellery but in no good at taking photos,let me know what you think if you get the chance,🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🐝🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🐞🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺
If you could send me the link to your Pinterest board I'd love to take a look at it!
OK I'll look,and check it out I'll get back to you Sandy to let you know ok,!!🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🐝
Does this work on ABS to ABS?
Sorry, I don't know what you are asking.
Did you bond one side and leave it for 10-20 mins until tacky?
Is that what the directions say to do?
@@SandyHuntress Yes
I only use it for small porcelain or similar and it is 'set' within 24 hrs..Might be worth trying again?
Any tips how to get the needle back in the tube? Its nearly impossible.
Find someone with really good eyesight and dexterity to help you? 🤣
How about using a folded piece of paper or a folded index card to help you guide the two separate pieces back together?
@@oaktree1628 Hmmm, I can't quite picture how that would work.
@@SandyHuntress fold an index card, then open it up until it forms a “V”, then put the tip of the nozzle inside the “V”, then guide the needle cap into the nozzle in the “V”
and love sandy
Awwww, you are very sweet to say so. :-D
If you think about it's original use, gluing a watch crystal into a case you would realize that it is a tight fit. The surfaces are flush with each other. I think you would also need to go a bit futher then "scuffing" the suface of a metal object. Perhaps filing to give a larger contract area. You would use only small amount of glue, unlike whatis shown. I also question if the clay that you use is porous? This is not a typical glue that you use to apply around the edges an object, it is designed for close tolerance fits. I have no doubt that you found it undesirable, I think that you tried to use it for an application that it was not designed for.
Thanks for your observations, James. No, the clay isn't porous, but you make some excellent points! I agree that what I did isn't quite what it's meant for.
is this glue non toxic?
I’d suggest you go to the manufacturer’s website and read their information on it.
Is it waterproof?
A quick online search turned up this from the manufacturer, “We developed G-S Hypo Cement in the 1930s for use in the watchmaking and jewelry repair industries. It is a combination fine precision tool and clear-drying, medium-strength cement that will not craze plastic material or damage precious surfaces. It is a sealing and water-proofing cement.”
You probably need to rough up the area before applying using fine sand paper.
Yes, you’re right. Good advice! 👍
Compare to e6000....🤔
I have done a video on E6000: ruclips.net/video/Z1ITRXsUtuM/видео.html
I have a tube of that stuff. I’ll stick with epoxy.
I think you're safer that way. :-)
Very disappointed. The product came highly recommended and was expensive af. But as another commenter said, at least I'll have strong knots
So it's not just me that finds this not as great as advertised? It's a bummer but I'm glad to hear it wasn't just me doing something wrong!
Really it doesn't work at all! I bought 2 tubes of this glue because of a great reviews. Honestly it is not a glue, it is waste 😡
Well, it didn't for me for what I was doing. Perhaps it's great in other applications.
7 videos I have watched and all interested in using glues on paper and polymer clay??? no use trying to find out abut glass cabochons and pendant trays. sighhh Time to move on yet again
Sounds like this is not the channel you are looking for. 🤣🤣🤣
@@SandyHuntress Yes Sandy everyone seems to be talking about how to apply glues to paper, resins etc which i have no interest in. Never mind! I am sure many viewers will find it interesting, but sadly not me.
You are messy in squeezing that tube 🙁 Squeeze the glue from the rear of the tube, then roll up the tube to keep all the glue in one place, at the front, like what you'd do with a tube of tooth paste.
If any parts are greasy before you apply the glue, then the glue will obviously not stick together, same if the parts are dusty, parts can easily go greasy by bare hand contact, keep the parts clean & dry and try to keep your hands grease free, I use white spirit soaked onto kitchen paper towel, give my hands a good wipe down, then allow to dry before affixing parts, also if you apply the glue and allow it to skin over before applying the part, the bond will be very weak, so it's best to apply the glue and stick whatever parts together immediately.
Helpful tips!
@@SandyHuntress Hypo Cement is really good and has it's many uses within the hobby-land [model kits] you can glue clear parts without the worry of making the parts go white, if super glue had been used that is.
I'm making a large scale Titanic model, throughout the model are dozens of open windows, just about every Titanic built model I've seen are devoid of clear windows, I'm using the Hypo Cement to create windows, dead easy to do just apply the glue to the rear of the window, then whilst gently squeezing the glue out the tube in a circular movement, draw the glue to the centre of the opening... hey presto nice glazed windows. 👍
@@IanLanc Wow, that sounds amazing.
@IanLanc If you watch the video again, Sandy Huntress said not to squeeze the tube from the end and she even says why not to do it that way. Also, if you roll up a metal tube, it can split then it wastes the glue.
Rubbish didn't stick my crowns at all
Not recommended for dentistry!
