Subject: rhinestone glue Author: Lynn [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: Sunday, June 28, 09:39:21pm Can someone please recommend a good glue to use with Swarovski rhinestones? On velvet etc... I thought some were too watery, and I tried fabric cement but its hard to work with. Thank you! [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ]

Subject Author Date E-6000 was recommended to me by the crystal vendor. I have had good luck with using it. (NT) hth Sunday, June 28, 10:21:20pm I'll give it a try! Lynn Sunday, June 28, 10:29:47pm I use Appliglue. Easy to use, does not smell and dries clear. (NT) R Monday, June 29, 05:49:17am I use E6000 too---squeeze a bit on wax paper, and I use a shishkebob skewer--roll the end in the gluethen roll the glued end where you want the crystal (NT) ---it leaves spiderweb strings, but they pull off easily Monday, June 29, 08:08:06am gentac works well, just needs time to dry properly (NT) dm Monday, June 29, 02:02:00pm I prefer gemtac, too, not going to risk my health just to stone a dress! Never had any trouble. (NT) -- Stoner Mom, LOL!, Monday, June 29, 02:12:16pm Any suggestions to remove glue from top of stones if messy? (NT) dm Monday, June 29, 04:11:16pm I like parchment paper between iron and crystal. A little heat will soften the glue. Be very careful though. Sometimes it is just easier to remove the crystal and clean apart from the dress, then replace. (NT) -- test first, Monday, June 29, 10:28:46pm If you use E6000, you can clean glue from the top of the crystals with acetone (nail polish remover). Use a cotton swab and be careful not to drip. (NT) -- a dm, Tuesday, June 30, 07:12:40am You can buy tube tops for the E6000, it’s much easier to use, and you’re not exposed to as much smell. I use the old eyebrow pluckier to pick up and place the Chrystal, so my hand don’t get glued. http://www.polymerclay.com.au/ept-plastic-dispenser-tip-p-2303.html?osCsid=a2387e63a02f75e5810b5635a160c897 (NT) Jillian Monday, June 29, 06:13:04pm Thanks everyone!
