E6000 Adhesive
Perfect for attaching findings to base metal, gluing a stone to a setting, and replacing rhinestones to costume jewelry pieces.
E-6000 is the jeweler's glue of choice, and our favorite. It is a one-part epoxy, (meaning you don't have to mix anything to make the glue -- it just comes out of a tube). E6000 dries like rubber, so its seal acts like a shock absorber when a piece is dropped.

• Safe for use with virtually every type of gemstone and works on wood, leather, vinyl, and canvas.
• Non-corrosive and self-leveling, E-6000 adheres in 5 to 10 minutes, and hardens to a clear, waterproof cure in 24 hours. This means you have about 10 minutes to position and reposition whatever you are gluing. If you are making jewelry, you should let the piece dry "hard" overnight before you wear it.

G-S Hypo Cement
Ideal for silk, Organza ribbon, Stretch Magic, nylon cords: non-brittle, dries clear, will not take the shine off of pearls, and does not travel down the cord. Apply to the knotted or finished ends of your bead strand to prevent the knot from fraying and coming loose. Extra fine tip is also useful when gluing rhinestones. 1/3 oz. tube.

Zap a Gap
Thick, gap-filling instant adhesive, perfect for gluing Memory Wire End Caps.

• Perfect adhesive for those jobs with spaces or cracks of less than 1/16". Apply the glue then place the parts together. Zap-A-Gap will stick to any non-greasy, porous material.
• It's cyanoacrylate ester based, like superglue. Zap-A-Gap dries fast. It takes about 10 seconds for Zap-A-Gap to dry. It's SUPER strong and WILL glue your fingers together. Bonds made with Zap-A-Gap will dry hard and are very difficult to break.
• Unlike a lot of wimpy, cheap super-glues, Zap-A-Gap is completely waterproof. It will never dissolve or break down when it is exposed to water.
• Zap-A-Gap has a great container. A lot of cheap super glues have a foil type pouch which will either dent, get holes in it or will have tops that gunk up and will never allow you to remove the top. Zap-A-Gap comes in a small plastic tub. The top locks tight and won't spill.

Tips for Using Zap-A-Gap:

1. Always use less than you think you'll really need. You can always add more glue but it is a mess if you try to remove too much.
2. If you get some on your fingers, keep your fingers apart and allow the glue to dry. Don't use a Kleenex or paper towel to rub it off. This will only make your fingers fuzzy and won't do anything to get the glue off your fingers. If you get it on your skin, you just have to wait several days until it wears off. Or, take a fine grit piece of sand paper and gently rub the spot off. If you work the sand paper too hard you'll tear up your skin, so take your time.
