Hi there I’ve just come across your very useful post and I’m wondering if any of the above has changed. All glues are not made equal. Some are designed for paper alone, some work on fabric, and others are for multi-surface use. I have not yet found a glue to beat E6000, but my biggest concern about the glue is the strong fumes it gives off, which I worry is harmful as I use it on a daily basis. It is my understand that this a not a problem when the glue is dry, as it is just the vapours of the glue that makes it harmful.

The rubber like consistency when it sets makes it suitable to use when the article needs movement in it, as the crystals will not ping off. The pin tube dispels a tiny amount of adhesive for the smallest crystals. You can squeeze out some more for bigger sizes. Just be sure not to put too much, or it will foam and form a visibly cloudy ring around the crystal. The biggest bummer, however, is that it releases strong fumes as it is a solvent-based glue. 5. CAT PALM Adhesive – Multi-Function Glue Keep collections to yourself or inspire other shoppers!
