Suitable glue?
I want to start making some sculpey rings. I've been looking on ebay and found some ring bases to use but was wondering if anyone knew the best type on glue to use for them?
Try E6000 or hot glue gun, it works best for me on my polymer creations.
I swear by E6000! Once it dries, it ain't going nowhere!
Thanks, I'll have to see if I can find it somewhere now...
Well I went out in search of this E6000 and no such luck Will have to look at what it actually is so that I can maybe get an Australian equivalent. Anyone else have suggestions?
I buy mine here from walmart thats found where the hot glue guns are and its pretty cheap. dont know where else to look besides craft stores, but you can also try gel super glue, not the kind that runs. I have used it before but cant remember how well it worked.
http://www.thistothat.com . It tells you which kind of glue to use to attach 2 different materials together.
Lots of people sell E6000 on Etsy.com.
I think I have found an equivalent for the glue now ;) All thanks to my new job working at a beading/jewelry shop It looks like it is pretty much the same as the E6000 Huzzah.
Ok so that glue I bought didn't do the trick so I ended up ordering some E6000 online. It came yesterday. How long does it normally take to dry because I had stuck a ring with it overnight and the next morning I could still detach the ring from the thing I was sticking to it real easy.
Uh Rhibi, if you use enuff of it, its not supposed to come apart that easily. When I use it, it doesn't take long to bond, the package says thats it strongest bond is durable after 24 hours, but I have known it to hold within a few minutes like when I was using it to bind my books. Unforturnately, depending on what you're using it on, its gonna take more than a little dab, not a whole lot but still more than what you used if it came apart. In any case, it works great for me.
