Aleene’s 94830 Jewelry & Metal Glue; 3-Pack of 0.1 ounce tubes. This Aleene’s 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 Aleene’s Jewelry & Metal Glue when the parts don’t 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 — 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 — so be sure not to touch the bonded joint right away. Maybe that’s their trick to it drying clear — 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 “Zip Kicker” (CA Accelerator) with this glue, but I didn’t like the results — 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 doesn’t matter first. That way, if something does go wrong, it’s 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 — 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 caps get stuck on the larger 0.7 ounce tubes before the tube is finished as other reviewers have stated. This is the only issue I’ve 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 it’s worth a try. But, since I have experienced some issue with the larger Aleene's Jewelry & Metal Glue 0.7 ounce tubes like others have, I was hoping that maybe having less glue at a time with these 0.1 ounce tubes will actually work better and won’t end up wasting as much. I haven’t tried these smaller tubes yet, but we shall see if there will be a difference soon enough! 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 Aleene’s 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 Aleene’s website and compare each listing for each type of glue. Pay close attention to each description — 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. I’ve stopped using other brand glues for my projects, and You Should Too!

Super

I had a stone fallen out of my silver bracelet. It happened a few years back at which time I took it to a jewellery store to fix it. They made a mess as the stones apparently had a small padding underneath which didn't want to stick. So this time when the same thing happened I ordered this glue. It was easy to apply and I could even use it as a filler instead of the padding. It dried clear and looks strong. The only complaint is about the instructions which don't make sense. The cap on the applicator is very tight, so hopefully keeps the remaining glue usable in the near future.

Used to reattach a piece of my silver bangle that my child had damaged. It set quick and was easy to use
