About Aleene's 94830 Jewelry & Metal Glue
Overall Feedback:
79% positive
77% praised the easy washability, but 23% struggled
It's very difficult to remove this glue from my hands, even after washing it immediately. I've tried different methods like nail polish remover, rubbing alcohol, and dawn dish soap, but nothing worked. Based on my experience, I can say that it's a challenging task.
Cleaning the excess glue off the gemstone and gold without scratching either one is the worst part of using the glue. This indicates that the glue is not washable and is difficult to clean without causing damage.
76% liked the versatility for different materials
I found that the glue bonds like superglue, is strong, and the gel delivery allows for pinpoint application.
71% appreciated the clear drying finish, however 29% didn't
When dry, the glue is not completely clear, but it is kind of a translucent white and is very hard.
I noticed that the cloudiness spreads to the entire charm even though only a small area was glued, making it difficult to remove.
The glue did not dry clear on metal, but had the color of a gluestick.
75% praised the non-toxic formulation, whereas 25% had concerns
I use this glue when the parts don't line up or stay in place, or when something goes wrong. It's non-toxic and safe for delicate and tiny metal models.
It is important to work in a well-ventilated area when using the product due to its potent fumes that can leave a film.
71% appreciated the quick drying time, but 29% found it dried slowly
The glue cures in less than 24 hours, similar to its more stinky Crazy Glue cousin.
The glue partially dries within minutes and fully cures in about twelve hours. Larger projects may require more drying time.
While repairing metal glasses, I noticed that the glue mentioned in the directions did not dry quickly. After 2 minutes or more, the glue was still sticky on the corner of the glasses, causing eye burning.
77% praised the strong adhesive bond, yet 23% didn't
I compared the strength of the glue to Super Glue or Crazy Glue and found it quite smelly and quick-drying.
The adhesive works well for skin and paper, but not for metal with polymer clay.
The adhesive is not strong enough and takes a couple of minutes to bind after applying pressure.
