Glue - E6000
Large size 110ml 3.7oz
Small size 9ml 0.3oz
E6000 Glue - sadly, out of stock as now impossible to find a supplier
This is an extremely strong multi-purpose adhesive. It is clear, waterproof, non-flammable, paintable and flexible. It is excellent for jewellery making as it fills any gaps.
For joining non porous surfaces, apply a very small amount to each surface, wait 2-10 minutes and press surfaces together. Curing takes 24-72 hours.
It is also very useful for any projects where you plan to stitch either by hand or machine through the glue as it remains flexible if spread thinly.
A great glue, but sadly very hard to find.
