21709 Jewelry & Metal Glue, 0.7 oz - Instant Adhesive, Permanent Bond, Waterproof, Dries Clear, Ideal for Repairs

Aleene’s 21709 Jewelry & Metal Glue; 0.7 ounce tube. 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 cap get stuck on the tube 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. I have also purchased the smaller Aleene's 94830 Jewelry & Metal Glue 3-Pack of 0.1 ounce tubes. I haven’t tried those yet, but maybe having less glue at a time will actually work better and won’t 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 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!

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. I’m hoping this doesn’t 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 product by a great brand. Very easy to use. Makes jewelry making easier.

It works well & I used gloves as instructed so it didn’t get on my hands BUT stupidly I took the gloves off to wash the cap for storage to make sure it didn’t plug up. I got a thin layer on my hands. And it was next to impossible to wash off. I wasn’t particularly concerned until I accidentally rubbed my eye felt major burning in my eye. It was dry & I could not even see any on my hands. I then washed my hands with warm soap & water 3x and scrubbed but it still has not come off. It’s worse than superglue. it contains super glue & other stuff. It’s made to be machine washable which it certainly is!!! Be very very careful. Do NOT let it touch your skin. I’m going to find a less harmful substance.

Works freat. Highly recommend on sterling jewelry. Just be careful not to use too much. Does not dry perfectly clear but lasts.

I bought this to glue a rare earth, metal magnet onto an aluminum plate inside an ebike motor. The product sets up quickly and bonds permanently. I had previously tried Gorilla glue but that actually keeps expanding as it cures and it pushed the magnet away from the plate. Says it is good for glass, metal, jewelry, ceramics and other hard surfaces. You should wear plastic gloves if possible because it is runny and comes out of the tube fast and sloppy, and will glue your fingers together. Don't get it on you and keep it hidden from children.

Funziona perfettamente. Ci impiega un po' prima di aderire del tutto ma asciugata la colla il gioiello è come nuovo. Bisogna stare attenti alla quantità. Io ne ho messa troppa è 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

ルース品をリング台座に接着しました。ごく少量のつもりでしたが、それでも多かったようで、翌日には、ジュエリーは接着剤に覆われていました。使い方間違ったのかしら。

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 spot…it aint moving from that spot. You only need the slightest amount of pressure on the tubing cause anything that isn’t bonding the two items you want together will dry white and hard – and no acetone will get it off (see the backing photo). But as it is only on the back, I don’t care that much to the look of the gem… but anyone buying will want to keep this in mind. Wear gloves cause you DON’T 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.

Absolutely worth the money! It's a super strong glue. I glued two painted air dry clay pieces and it's not budging at all after drying. I repaired a watch strap as well and it's not come off at all. Both items would separate on using other glues. So totally go for it! Worth the money!
