Super glues (cyanoacrylate glues) are best for surfaces that fit exactly together (no gaps), or where you need just a small dab for extra security.
Two-part epoxies require mixing, but have excellent long-term durability (even for foil-back crystals). Great for production craftspeople!
Specialty & craft glues are each designed for specific applications. Some are flexible, and many will bond plastics, foil-back crystal, porous materials (wood, fabric, etc.), or metal-to-metal bonds.
Adhesive dots are strong, easy to use, and removable. They work best on lightweight applications.
Resins and sealants can sometimes also be used as adhesives.
Test a small sample and allow it to cure thoroughly before proceeding.
When possible, use a file to roughen smooth surfaces. This allows for a stronger grip.
Clean both surfaces before applying adhesive (we recommend isopropyl alcohol and a cotton swab).
Work in a well-ventilated, dry, and dust-free environment.
Extreme temperatures might affect drying time.
Store all adhesives in a cool place.
MSDS (Material Safety and Data Sheets) are available upon request.
Glues & Cold Temperatures
Avoid shipping glues via Ground during winter months, since many will lose effectiveness once frozen. This is especially true of super glues.
Store finished creations in a location that maintains temperatures above freezing.
To intentionally weaken a super glue bond, place glued object in a household freezer for several hours. (Epoxy glues also become brittle in low temperatures, but most will not snap apart as super glues do).

White Plated Jewelry Bail, Beaver Tail
0 Reviews /
Avg Rating: 0 /10
Fold-over "beaver tail" white plated brass bails. Approximately 25mm (1") long. Fold-over bails are perfect for items that vary in size and thickness, such as natural agates and shells. White plate is the "silver" color most often seen on base metal jewelry and components. White plating is also known as "imitation rhodium" and "silvertone". Fold leaves over a piece of stained glass, agate, etc. and leave skinny middle part on top to make a drop with a top loop. Glue on.
