Product Information
Full details
Aleene's Jewelry & Metal Glue is an essential tool for jewelry makers, crafters, and DIY enthusiasts who require a high-strength, precise bonding solution for non-porous surfaces. This gel-based adhesive provides the key benefit of an ultra-controlled, no-drip application that dries clear and permanent, ensuring your delicate projects remain intact and aesthetically pleasing. While it offers industrial-strength performance, users should note that its fast-drying nature requires quick and accurate placement of materials, as it leaves little room for repositioning once contact is made.

FAQs
Is this glue waterproof?
It provides a durable, moisture-resistant bond, but it is not intended for continuous submersion in water.
Can I use this on fabric?
It is specifically formulated for hard, non-porous surfaces; it may result in a stiff or brittle finish if used on flexible fabrics.
How long does it take to cure fully?
While it bonds quickly, allow 24 hours for a full, maximum-strength cure.
Does this glue work on plastic?
It works on many hard plastics, but we recommend a small spot test first as some plastics are chemically resistant to adhesives.
Is it safe for children to use?
This is a professional-strength adhesive and should be used by adults or under close adult supervision.
How do I remove excess glue?
Wipe away excess immediately with a dry cloth before it sets.
Troubleshooting
Glue is not coming out of the tip.
The nozzle may be clogged with dried adhesive; use a fine pin to clear the blockage.
The bond is not holding on very smooth metal.
Lightly sand or scuff the metal surface with fine-grit sandpaper to create a texture for the glue to grip.
Glue dried on the surface of the jewelry.
Use a specialized adhesive remover or acetone sparingly if the material allows, but test on an inconspicuous area first to avoid damage.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To achieve the best results, ensure all surfaces are clean, dry, and free of oils or dust before application. If working with metal, lightly scuffing the surface can enhance adhesion.
- Prepare your workspace in a well-ventilated area.
- Apply a small amount of glue to the surface.
- Press components together immediately.
- Keep the cap tightly sealed between uses to prevent the gel from hardening inside the tip.
- Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
