                               Gluing Hints for Metal Findings:

  • Use E-6000 adhesive on them for super-strong hold.
  • Whenever possible, use a file to roughen smooth surfaces. This gives a stronger grip.
  • Clean both surfaces to be joined.
  • We recommend using isopropyl alcohol and a cotton swab in a well-ventilated area.
  • Why is it so important to clean the surfaces?
  • During the manufacturing process, metal findings are coated with oil.
  • They are degreased, but normally still have a small amount of oil left on the surface.
  • Follow each adhesive's directions carefully when using.
  • It's best if you can provide a dry, dust-free, well-ventilated environment when gluing.
  • This helps assure a secure bond.
  • Extreme temperatures might affect the drying time.
  • Store all adhesives in a cool place.
  • *Please consider the actual sizes given in the listing as the pictures are generally enlarged to show detail.
