2 oz Eclectic Products 800432 E6000 Craft Adhesive

I have been using this glue for many years with excellent results. It is extremely strong and sticks to almost anything. I’ve repaired the soles of my desert boots (see pics) which prematurely separated but otherwise had many years of life left. They have held up for years and still holding. I use this glue at work in a fabrication shop where we make devices using all kinds and materials. I reattached the Velcro pad on several orbital sanders, damaged electrical cords, cracked plastic housings, etc. You need to be careful not to get it on your clothes as it with seep into the fabric and be nearly impossible to remove. Once it sets up it’s very hard to remove so plan ahead, tape off or cover parts you need to protect. Clean the intended repair points if dirty or if oily use alcohol or other cleaner that won’t leave residue. It dries clear and will remain clear and flexible for a long time but may begin to yellow slightly over time but not like epoxy which gets very dark yellow and brittle over time especially when exposed to sunlight. Some plastics will require that you rough up the surface to give adhesion. Keep the cap and tip clean and well sealed or it will dry up in the tube. Use ventilation as it has a strong odor while drying. Fabulous glue when used properly!

Remember to store the tube in an upright position, or at least tilted upward. Because it is a thin liquid that works wonderfully in small cracks, tiny jewelry knots and other delicate places. But because of this, it has to be thin and comes out a tiny needle-like opening. And can leak from the tube if the tube is left horizontally with the lid on. That aside, I love this stuff!!

I bought this to bond an aluminum french cleat bracket to the back of an acrylic sheet. I did a lot of research first and found that this should do the job. On the acrylic sheet is a heavy piece of art and I couldnt afford for it to come down on anyone so the bond was extremely important to me. I am glad it came in a 2-pack, because I found it worked on other foam board as well. It is very stinky, however, so make sure you have a place you can put it while it sets where it wont be bothersome.

E6000 is a very good glue -- my favorite currently. It is like rubber cement on steroids. It has flexibilty, but hardens over time to a very strong bond that continues to be a little flexible so glued pieces don't just snap off. It's not quite a strong as epoxy, but it doesn't require the mixing of two components to create the glue and is therefore more convenient to use. Superglue may be a bit stronger, but everyone knows the problems with that -- its always solidified by the time you want to use it, and even if you actually have some that's still liquid, it runs and soaks in easily and is difficult to control. E6000 isn't like that and still very strong. It is adequate for just about use and in my experience is the best "all purpose" glue that science has yet devised.

I use this glue for misc jobs from jewelry repair to other patch jobs. It does have great strength for most things. Super jewelry repair to replace missing stones. I've used it to repair lining on jewelry boxes and other boxes with great success. A friend uses it to make stacking plates on glass candle sticks. A most recent repair was to a large ceramic camel figurine that got knocked over and broke in 3 places. It is fixed and looks as good as new. The one downside is if you don't hold the item in place for a while, it won't set. We had to come up with some ingenius ways to let items set until they held. Now the one failure - I used it to repair a back tail light lens. We held it in place with tape for over a day. It did not set at all. It is possible because of the heat, it may not set. All in all, it is a very good product. Two warnings, be careful that you get the clear for most projects. It does come in black and white. Also have a pair of pliers as the lid will stick and is hard to open after use.

On the one hand, this stuff is extremely impressive. It's been *hugely* useful in a whole *bunch* of ways I couldn't have anticipated (e.g. repairing flash drives, costume jewelry, and even a broken sensor off my home security system) when I first bought it for the one specific and narrow purpose of repairing a rare and collectible vinyl figurine that had broken in transit, and I couldn't be happier with the hold and results. On the other hand, actually *using* it is - to put it bluntly - a colossal pain-in-the-butt. It's virtually impossible to be even remotely precise in any way about the amount you actually get out of the tube, and it will largely just keep flowing for at least 5-10 seconds no matter how gently you try to squeeze. If the surface you're applying it to is smaller than a US/Canadian quarter dollar coin or any shape other than perfectly flat, the only reasonable way to actually use it is by squirting however much *decides* to come out of the tube onto a paper towel or some other form of disposable dropcloth, and then carefully applying only what you actually want/need to the relevant object/surface with something like a toothpick or needle - discarding the rest. Don't get me wrong, it gets *PHENOMENAL* results once you figure out how best to actually use it for yourself, but the annoying application process is sufficient to dock it a star.

Excellent Stuff

I use this glue when I need to rhinestone a shirt, shoes or even pants. This glue is messy but it gets the job done! I would highly recommend!
