Tips on using Glues
(Hair Stick Crafters and Hat Pin Ladies, PLEASE READ!)
We recommend using E-6000® Jewelry and Craft Adhesive
for a more durable, longer lasting rigid hold and strong bond.
The temptation to use an "instant" adhesive that is fast-drying can
have disastrous results over time, especially when using to cement
crystals or glass beads. Superglues contain cyanoacrylate to
facilitate quick drying, but over time will shrink and become
brittle, causing crystals or glass beads to separate from their
findings (hat pins). Simply wearing the item or dropping it on
a hard surface may be all it takes to knock your beads loose.
If you are finding that
application of epoxy is a bit messy, try using a toothpick to take a
bit of the epoxy directly from the tube, then use the toothpick to
apply dots of glue to your items. No mess, no hit-and-miss trying to
re-insert the pin into the tiny pin-tip applicator on the G-S Hypo
Cement.
GS-Hypo cement is great for
coating knots on elastic cord and Wirelace mesh ribbon, when a
medium hold is all that is needed, because it remains soft and
pliable. The pinpoint nozzle make application quick and easy and
exactly on the mark. It dries fast, for those gotta-get-it-done
projects! |
