filling quality that can be helpful when

working with slightly uneven surfaces.

This glue is non toxic, acid free, waterproof

and stainable/paintable.

This glue expands to 3 to 4 times the

surface area you apply--a little goes a long
way.

This thicker formula is great for vertical

applications.

Once you apply your pieces they can't be

repositioned, but the fully dried glue can be
sanded.

This was originally created for watch

makers, but the durability of the adhesive
and the precision tip make it perfect for
jewelry designers too.

This flexible glue is great for sealing knots

and is washable. You can launder fabric that
has this glue applied once it has dried for at
least 24 hours.
This is acid free with a neutral cure, so it's

applicator are a perfect match for cord ends.
