I know that most people use E6000 for adhering stones, and we all know that it stinks to the heavens, and is nearly impossible to clean up if you make a mistake. Some people use Gem-tac, and I have used that also, and liked it. Recently I tried something else, though, and thought I would share. I got it from Dharma Trading Company (they do have a website) and LOVED the results. The product is called Jones Tones. It's actually an adhesive-based fabric paint (and you can use it on spandex, even, because it stretches!!). Their "Glossy Clear" type works very well to glue on stones. No smell, dries fast, easy to clean up if you make an error (before it dries), and it's even washable. It dries very flexible which seems to make the stones less apt to pop off than with glue that dries more stiff. It's also MUCH less expensive, only about $4 for a 4oz bottle.
