What a helpful video! I’ve saved it so I can refer back to it.
Glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching!
Very straightforward and helpful. Thank you
So glad we could help! Thanks for watching! 😊
This was so very helpful! I am a fused glass artist/jewelry maker and for years I used E6000 and frankly hated it! So I am ramping up my stud earring designs and thought, "I've GOT to get this piece figured out!". I just made some test pieces and have used Gorilla Glue Construction Adhesive and the sterling silver posts came right off after a 24 hour cure! Thankfully it was a test. I am on my way out to get the G-S Hypo and just for good measure, the Devcon 2-Ton 2 part as well. Thank you for the link to that incredible table you provided, SUPER helpful. I got the Printer Friendly version too. Thanks, this video was a true business and life saver! 🙂❣
We are so happy to hear that this video and our resource will be helpful for you. Thanks so much!

Thank you for making this video. I’ve been using fabric fuse e6000 for the last few years and love it. Unfortunately I’m feeling very sick for the last few days and I had been using the glue a lot with no gloves. Now I’m wondering if I poisoned myself or do I just have one of the many flu’s going around?
i use e6000 industrial strength clear for everything metal to metal metal to plastic or cabochons they all work
This is a very helpful video and I appreciate you making this video. I would like to make sure I understand which glue to get. Could you please tell me, which glue is best for attaching a metal hoop to a plastic bead? I have a tiny hoop I cut in half so I could glue it on top of the bead. I'm interested in creating a keychain.
We have a great resource on our website to help choose the correct glue/adhesive. You can see the info sheet here: www.firemountaingems.com/Resources/encyclobeadia/charts/GLUES?
I hope this helps!
Thank you, this was very helpful. I have been using E6000 Jewelry & Bead for most of my jewelry repairs with good success. I see your Devcon recommendation - has anyone tried the JB Weld products for metal-to-metal jewelry repair? If so, which one (super glue, clear, etc)? Has it been successful?
Thank you for watching! 😊 We do not carry the JB Weld products, so I can't speak to those specifically, but here is a link to our helpful chart of Glues/Adhesives and their uses: www.firemountaingems.com/Resources/encyclobeadia/charts/GLUES?
Great information! The problem I have with glues is them going bad, getting thick or just drying up. Any tips?
You might keep them in an air tight container that isn't near heat.
That you this video is super helpful!
Which glue would you recommend for ceramic ?
So glad we could help. Thanks for watching!
We have some great options like E6000 and Devcon 2-part epoxy. Here is a link to our selection of glues and adhesives: www.firemountaingems.com/jewelry-supplies/supplies-by-type/glues-and-adhesives/
We also have a great resource to help you select the perfect glue type for your project or medium: www.firemountaingems.com/learn/categories/essential-resources/charts/GLUES-charts.html
Please what is the best glue to fix the stone on silver?
My mom got me a tube of E6000 Jewelry & Bead & a tube of E6000 Extreme Tack. Are either 1 of these good for gluing satin rattail cord or S-lon cord in a barrel clasp? Are either 1 good for gluing cabs to felt?
Hi there. E6000 Jewelry & Bead can be used for gluing cord into a barrel clasp. You will want to make sure it's not moved as the curing time for this glue is about 24-72 hours. This glue would work well with gluing cabs to felt. We wouldn't use the Extreme Tack for these projects as this glue isn't designed to be used in that fashion. Extreme Tack is great for paper, fabric and other lightweight materials such as, ribbon, sequins or small beads. We hope that helps.
is there such a thing as colored glue? For instance, i have a Susan Shaw necklace with a gold chain. One of the connection wires between the pendant and bead holding it in place is loose. If i had some gold glue i could push it back in to fix it. However, any search on "gold glue" returns only something about gold leaf.
Thanks! And thanks for the helpful video!!!
I am not aware of any colored glue for that type of application, but here is what we have for glues and adhesives, with most of them drying clear: www.firemountaingems.com/shop/glues_and_adhesives
What about plastic to metal? I don't know why they stopped selling Ailene's glass and Bead. It is all that works for me.
Hi there - you might want to slightly sand the area of the two materials you are gluing as this can help the glue to adhere. We also have a chart available that might help you find the right glue for your projects: bit.ly/39oAq5y. Thanks for watching!
I have a big bottle of crafters pick fabric glue I bought to glue threads together before I put them in a clasp when I'm doing a kumihimo piece cause it's easier for me than trying to sew all the threads together. It works great for that but I've been thinking of using it on other things but I don't know if it would work & I can't find a video on that glue.
Hi there. Since it's a fabric glue, it wouldn't work well on other materials.
Hi! What do you recommend for metal to pearls? I’ve tried gorilla glue but metals just fell off once it’s gets dry
Some options would be: Aleene's Jewel-it, Devcon 2-part Epoxy, or E6000 Jewelry & Craft Adhesive. We also have a great reference chart for glues and adhesives, so that you can find the perfect option for your project: www.firemountaingems.com/Resources/encyclobeadia/charts/GLUES?
Hi, would you know what I could use to glue a plastic guitar pick to a pendant?
Here is a great chart to help pick the right glue for your project: www.firemountaingems.com/resources/encyclobeadia/charts/glues
Some good options would be Gem-Tac™, Gorilla Glue, and GS Hypo Cement
I received earrings that I believe are beads with metal backings (stud earrings). The first time I went to take them out of my ears, one of the beads came off. I'm not sure which glue to get to fix it.
Oh no! We would recommend a 2-part epoxy that works with foil back rhinestones like Devcon. Here's a link for your convenience: www.firemountaingems.com/itemdetails/h201954tl
What glue do you recommend for cabochon to metal?
The Devcon 2 Ton Epoxy and the GS Hypo Cement both work well for gemstone cabochons to metal. You can also check out our full info sheet on glues and adhesives on our website: www.firemountaingems.com/Resources/encyclobeadia/charts/GLUES?
Hope this helps!
Thanks a lot
What do you mean by foil back
Rhinestones, also called "flat-backs" have a foil back or a non foil back. Most Flatback Crystals have a foil backing which acts like a mirror, the light passes through the crystal glass and is reflected from the foil backing to give the crystal a sparkly diamond like appearance. Without the foil backing the light just passes through the crystals and they look like a piece of crystal glass. The foil is also useful for providing a good bonding surface for the glue to stick to, without the foil backing the crystal will stick to a shiny glass surface so the bond isn’t as strong.
How bout vinyl to metal
We have not experimented with gluing vinyl to metal, but we have a great resource on different types of glue and how they are used. You can see the full chart here: www.firemountaingems.com/Resources/encyclobeadia/charts/glues
Ugh! what about resin to metal? I make resin pendants (for necklaces) and then glue on a metal bail.
We have a great resource on our website to help choose the correct glue/adhesive. You can view the sheet here: www.firemountaingems.com/Resources/encyclobeadia/charts/GLUES?
@@FireMountainGems I checked it out. fantastic charts, but unfortunately, no listing for resin. I can't find anywhere, a recommendation for resin.
@@Holly-gi5vy I would recommend trying out either the Devcon 2 Ton Epoxy or the GS Hypo Cement. Both work very well on smooth/slick, non-porous surfaces.
@@FireMountainGems I appreciate this. I'll look into it!!! Thanks
