Beacon Gem-Tac 118ml Medium Bottle, Clear Adhesive Gem Glue

Product Information

Furthermore, the glue might also seep out around the edges of the crystal, making the application unsightly. You can get away with a messy application with crystal clear glue as it goes unnoticed. Flexibility Excellent for attaching rhinestones, crystals, pearls, sequins and other embellishments to a wide variety of materials.

This glue is designed for bonding embellishments like crystals to fabric. It firmly grabs crystals within a couple of minutes of application. Some glues dissolve in water or are weakened by cleaning agents. Avoid these when fixing crystals on a piece of clothing, shoes, or anything that will be hand/machine washed or dry cleaned. Color The first consideration when choosing glue for crystals is tensile strength. Weak glue can cause you embarrassing moments when the crystals detach prematurely.I had thought about the Hotfix type, but thought glue is better for me. I also have a low temp glue gun but thought that would be difficult to use on fabric and those glue hairs drive me crazy! As my crystals are smaller, ss20, I will use Gem-Tac.

I have thought of the E6000 it does have a lot of positive comments through the internet but not tried and tested like yours. This is especially true if you are unsure of the characteristics to look out for. You should take into consideration the following factors when choosing glue for crystals: Tensile StrengthThis glue goes on clear and retains the same clarity upon drying. However, it takes considerably longer to dry, which can be a problem if you are impatient. The good thing is Hypo Cement doesn’t affect the crystals nor the surface you are bonding them to. It works on virtually every surface. Crystals come in various shapes and sizes, but most are small and others very tiny. Applying these accurately is difficult if the glue is runny. The best thing about this formula is that it is water-based and non-toxic. What this means is that it is solvent-free. The bottle’s opening is not precise and releases uncontrollable amounts of glue. Its thin consistency doesn’t help either. You’ll be better off working with a syringe or precision cap as it is a small amount that gives sheer results. 2.

Thanks for such an informative post and for taking the time to answer comments! I’m planning to crystal a satin covered steel boned corset and wanted your opinion before starting. I assumed e6000 would be the best bet but as the corset will bend and shift during dressing, I was unsure whether this glue would hold up to that kind of stress. Any advice? Velvet – The Ultimate came loose straight away followed by E6000, Fabri-Tac, Shoe Goo then Gemtac and the skin off my fingers from rubbing so hard. (If you intend to test adhesives yourself I suggest using something other than your fingers to dislodge the crystals.)Therefore, it is important to use it sparingly to remain invisible behind the stone. This glue is solvent-based, but the odor is faint and not off-putting. 4.
