Fast and easy
This seems to work great on any material and dries pretty fast. The glue is gel thick, so no dripping. I’ll definitely buy it again.

Best crafting glue!
I would describe this glue as something between superglue and E6000. It takes longer than superglue to dry, but not too much longer. The viscosity is that of a gel superglue and the nozzle opening is pretty small for decent application precision.I use this glue for most of my crafting needs now: From reinforcing jewelry closure knots to wood to attaching stones to magnets.As other glue products I have tried have done, the glue does continue to seep out after use. The first package of this glue had to be replaced as the nozzle broke off inside the cap, so I am still trying to find the right moment to screw the cap back on without worry. I do make sure to wipe all around the nozzle to get most of the glue off to prevent this from happening again, although I was taking this precaution when the cap became sealed to the nozzle the first time. Iām hoping this doesnāt happen again because I absolutely love this glue!Did I mention the price is pretty much unbeatable for the amount and quality of the product?

Great jewelry glue!
This glue works really well for jewelry, just be prepared for a strong smell, like super glue. You will want to work in a well-ventilated area and not use it for really long periods of time. It has a thick gel texture, but not as thick and sticky as rubber cement. The thing I really like about it is that I can squeeze some out in a blob to use and it doesn’t dry out quickly. In fact, until you put it between two surfaces, it doesn’t really start to dry. When you do put it between two surfaces, you have a little bit of time to move things around to get them in the right spot, but not too long. In those first 10-15 seconds, you can pull it back apart if things aren’t right, but once it’s stuck, it is totally stuck. This definitely gives a much stronger hold than the E6000 that I also use, especially with metal-to-metal. So far, I haven’t had anything I’ve used this on come apart.The only thing I don’t like about this is that the lid tends to get glued shut and it’s hard to clean off the glue so that this doesn’t happen. If it does get stuck, you have to use the main opening, which is harder to control. I don’t know how to make this better, but it’s the only thing I don’t like about this other than the strong smell. Besides that, I definitely recommend this glue.

Aleeneās ā A Top Quality Glue for Whatever the Project!
Aleeneās 21709 Jewelry & Metal Glue; 0.7 ounce tube. Aleeneās instant adhesive is a top quality product at a very competitive price. Look no further, this brand instant glue is quick and easy to use and leaves a strong bond. I build miniature 3D metal models that are extremely tiny and very delicate. I use this Aleeneās Jewelry & Metal Glue when the parts donāt want to necessarily line up, stay tightly in place or when something definitely goes wrong. These model parts are made out of extremely thin sheets of metal. Being that I use different size pliers to shape and manipulate the extremely tiny parts, sometimes things can and will go wrong. Each model is different, but I always seem to find myself needing to use this glue on some part of my model builds. This glue is a little different than your usual instant glue ā it dries clear without the usual hazing you get from other glues. Also, it bonds almost instantly, but part of the glue still stays somewhat wet for a few minutes longer as well ā so be sure not to touch the bonded joint right away. Maybe thatās their trick to it drying clear ā an instant bond with a slower flash point??? This Jewelry & Metal glue is in gel form, which makes it easier to apply and it keeps the glue where you want it. Depending on how thick you apply the glue, it will change how quickly it totally dries. I have also tried to use āZip Kickerā (CA Accelerator) with this glue, but I didnāt like the results ā it seemed to get a bit messy, instead of speeding up the drying time. If you think you might want to try to use accelerator, or feel you need to use it, I would suggest to try testing it on something that really doesnāt matter first. That way, if something does go wrong, itās no loss. I found it easier to just put a dab of this glue on a scrap piece of cardboard and then quickly apply the glue with a sharp toothpick to really be able to apply it in the smallest of places. This glue has really been a big help ā my model builds and projects are that much better and go together with a bit more ease! Because of this glue, my models are built to perfection, and it makes working on delicate projects much more enjoyable by avoiding the frustrations of not having the proper adhesive for the job at hand. I too have had the cap get stuck on the tube before the tube is finished as other reviewers have stated. This is the only issue Iāve had so far with this glue. I usually end up buying another tube with another cap and use that cap on the original tube I started with to finish the tube. I might try taking the whole cap completely off each time and put a dab of glue on the cardboard that way. Not sure if it will make a difference, but itās worth a try. I have also purchased the smaller Aleene’s 94830 Jewelry & Metal Glue 3-Pack of 0.1 ounce tubes. I havenāt tried those yet, but maybe having less glue at a time will actually work better and wonāt end up wasting as much. Either way, next time you are shopping for an instant glue, skip over all of those other glues, and pick up a tube or two of Aleeneās brand glue. Because of the many differences in each glue and types of materials out there, it might be best to first go to the Aleeneās website and compare each listing for each type of glue. Pay close attention to each description ā not all glues are the same. Although many of their glues will look similar, there are sometimes very subtle differences in the way they are applied, the time it takes to dry and other important factors. These differences in the glues are just as important as to which tools you use on your project. Iāve stopped using other brand glues for my projects, and You Should Too!

Funziona perfettamente. Ci impiega un po’ prima di aderire del tutto ma asciugata la colla il gioiello ĆØ come nuovo. Bisogna stare attenti alla quantitĆ . Io ne ho messa troppa ĆØ ho sporcato il mio anello ma con un po’ di pazienza sono riuscita a rimuovere tutto e non si nota affatto. Lo consiglio, il mio giudizio e ottimo
I have this necklace which I wear during the university semester as a good luck charm (it doesn’t come off till after exam results have come in). It is a ruby in zoisite gem set in a stainless-steel setting. I have been wearing for 3/4 of each year for the last 7 years. It fell out of its casing the other week and no jeweller was willing to set it for less than $100. So off to google I went looking for a cheaper solution and came across this item. For less than $20 I was able to glue the gem back into place. Now this glue is super industrial strength, once it is a spotā¦it aint moving from that spot. You only need the slightest amount of pressure on the tubing cause anything that isnāt bonding the two items you want together will dry white and hard ā and no acetone will get it off (see the backing photo). But as it is only on the back, I donāt care that much to the look of the gemā¦ but anyone buying will want to keep this in mind. Wear gloves cause you DONāT want this on your skin!!!! and make sure you work in a ventilated area as there is a bit of a smell with it (not heaps but still.)But otherwise Super Super Super happy to have my good luck charm back on for my last semester of my degree knowing that the gem wont be going anywhere.

This product is simply outstanding! It’s become my go-to adhesive for nearly all of my jewelry crafting projects. This glue excels in its strength and durability, ensuring my creations stay intact for the long haul. What’s more, its clear color makes it virtually invisible when dry, maintaining the aesthetic integrity of my pieces. If you’re in search of a top-notch jewelry glue, look no further, I’ve never had any issues with it so far.I would definitely recommend it!
