About Aleene's 21709 Jewelry & Metal Instant Adhesive Transparent
Overall Feedback:
83% positive
85% praised the strong adhesive bond
I use this glue when the parts don't line up or stay in place, or when something goes wrong. This shows that the glue has strong adhesive strength.
I found that the glue effectively attached metal charms to a stone pendant.
74% praised the easy washability
I need to clean the glue nozzle after each use with acetone polish remover or something similar, otherwise the cap gets glued on and it is difficult to open. This shows the washability of the art glue paste.
79% liked the versatility for different materials
The glue works well for securing stones in settings, bonding slight gaps in base metal jump rings for costume jewelry, and attaching half drilled beads to memory wire.
72% appreciated the clear drying finish, however 28% didn't
The vapors from the glue ruined the finish on the rhinestones. I tried cleaning them several times with no improvement.
I am disappointed that the glue comes out of the tube transparent but dries translucent and not clear, which may not be suitable for visible gluing.
78% praised the non-toxic formulation, whereas 22% had concerns
The glue holds well but is messy and lacks information on its non-toxic formulation.
I was frustrated that the packaging did not include instructions for removing the glue and instead instructed me to call Poison Control.
79% appreciated the quick drying time, but 21% found it dried slowly
I like the glue because it doesn't dry out quickly and I can squeeze it out in a blob to use.
The glue did not solidify even after holding parts together for a minute, despite the instructions stating to hold parts together for several seconds to allow the glue to dry.
80% liked the long-lasting bond, yet 20% found it weakened over time
I have observed that my aunt used this glue for post earrings and the posts did not come off, indicating good bond longevity compared to other glues.
The glue does not work well on metal jewelry and does not create a permanent bond. It is also not fast drying.
The glue is difficult to use and runs all over my fingers. But if I manage to hold the parts together for a certain amount of time, it holds great.
