Glue for adding Gemstones etc?
« on: May 23, 2013, 10:11:14 PM »
Just wondering what everyone uses for adding Gems etc to ponies, ive tried super glue but end up getting it on the gem an it dulls it, so would Fabri-tac be better?

I use Loctite Easy Squeeze Super Glue Gel. It's not runny and I've never had an issue with getting it on the front of gemstones. I also use this little plastic stick with a ball of beeswax on the end for placing gems. I just put a tiny dot of glue on the pony where I want my gem to go and then place the gem with my wax stick. The wax is just slightly tacky so the gem sticks until I have it in place.
