I need to glue a rhinestone back on a purse. Will this dry clear under the rhinestone? Thank you!

It doesn't dry perfectly clear. I'd use a lock tite product that does if I was you.

It is clear. When you stir it thoroughly, as you should, it will have a lot of little bubbles in it. You can cause most of these to pop by heating the mixed epoxy slightly. I mix in small disposable condiment containers from a restaurant supply store. I heat the mixed epoxy on a preheated electric kitchen griddle, turned on just a little more than it takes to get the griddle to turn on and heat at all, and not enough to melt the little container. Stir just long enough to pop the bubbles, because heating will shorten the working time for the epoxy.

No, but with vintage glue you have to ask yourself the following questions:1- Will the detergent soften the glue ? 2- Will the ultrasonic vibrations crystallize the glue and then cause it to shatter ? Glued jewelry is pretty fragile. You may be best served with a bucket of soapy water and a soft scrub brush like an old toothbrush. Good luck !

No it does not drie clear, It dries with a beige color. It also expands a good bit after application so use cautiously.

This can only be used with HOT FIX rhinestones. HOT FIX rhinestones are rhinestones that already comes with dried glue at the back. This gun allows you to press on the rhinestone and melt the glue at the back, thereby "sticking" the rhinestone to the surface of the fabric, or whatever you are intending to embellish. No glue needed. Its like a precision IRON for rhinestones that ALREADY come with glue.

It will dry too thick I think for the crystals but you could try a sample to see if it meets your approval it will dry clear.

It is faster than placing them one by one but the glue dies not hold as well as hot fix especially if you run them through the washer and dryer. Thus glue tends to become quite tacky in water so much so that it sticks to itself every time you wash it. Still it holds better than any other glue of this type. The fastest way to do your design would be to get what they call transfer film. Get the type with the white textured backing because it peels off easier. You can get kits with this film in it at Joann fabrics. It comes with a nonstick clear silicone sheet. You place the silicone sheet over your design and place the rhinestones. Then you peel off the backing from the clear film which is a bit like a heat resistant packing tape with a sticky side and place this on your design to pick up your rhinestones pressing on it with your hand to get the flat part of the rhinestone to adhere. Then place the film on the garment place a pressing cloth over it preferably made of cotton to be heat tolerant and press with an iron until the rhinestones stick to the fabric and are released from the film. Then you can place the iron on the stones directly because they are glass but just press on them without sliding it across them and I also press them from the back to make sure they stick. Sometimes you could see the glue literally melting through the fabric. I usually place something under the garment to keep the glue off the ironing board.But if you don't have hot fix stones then you'll have to glue them with this glue.

You will need to sand the back of the rhinestones to give a good surface for the epoxy. The epoxy will soak into the fabric so don't go beyond the rhinestone. Once set the fabric can be washed but I would avoid the dryer since heat will cause the epoxy to break down. It does not foam.

I do not use glue. I use a top coat then I place the gem on then apply another top coat. You could use nail glue then apply top coat.

This is def clear however it reminds me of like sprite soda being the best way to describe how it is that clear but has bubbles in it like soda would so when it dries u may see a bubble if whatever you glue is clear.. Also, this stiff holds great but its stringy like crazy so when you try to glue something it will String from the tube to whatever u glue so I had to use a toothpick to swirl around strings each time I glued rhinestones to costume & had a few string lookin glue spots that still made it onto costume. Hope this helps.

Yes. Probably. I'm not familiar with crafting, but its a great glue that I've used for multiple purposes. Its not runny, dries clear, and holds up through washing/water.

The heat of the summer will tend to dry the stickiness of the glue. The glue does not have the holding power you need. The short answer of the question is no.

My guess is probably...if you let it dry for at least 24 hours before you expose it to moisture. If you are working with glass or non-porous materials I think it would work even better if you could seal the project in some way. If you are using porous material I think it should not be an issue. I did have it loosen once when I was gluing stained glass but it had not had 24 hours to dry.

No, It is made for gel polish, I think it could dry it, but the lasting value would not be the same.

Probably not. When wet it is an Elmer's glue consistency. When dry it is smooth, but not a like hard ceramic glaze. I could see it possibly melting or becoming sticky to the touch.

On regular or fine it works fine, however, I have never tried with a very course glitter. If the coverage is not enough you could always add some additional glitter with some liquid glue. I always use a spray sealer on the glitter after the glue dries. Good Luck.

Would say yes to this question, but make sure your glue lines are kept to a minimum and wait for it to completely dry.

I accidentally glued a glass piece of jewelry to my glass table top and it dried to solidly that I ruined the tabletop. I would say it works well on glass to glass and be careful not to spill the glue!
