About BEACON Beacon Gem-Tac Permanent Adhesive
Overall Feedback:
76% positive
75% praised the easy washability, but 25% struggled
The glue may not be suitable for items that require washing, as it does not hold up to machine or hand washing. I tried hand washing with the same result as machine washing.
80% appreciated the clear drying finish
The glue is transparent and works great for attaching paper to glass gems and metal bottle caps.
70% praised the flexible bond, but 30% found it too rigid
I used this product to secure ribbon and crystals to flip flops for a beach wedding, indicating its flexibility.
The glue is great for stretchy materials and has a unique elasticity that stretches with the fabric, making it perfect for clothing that will be stretched without worrying about gems popping off.
I love that Gem-Tac is flexible enough to move gems into the right place until they dry, dries perfectly clear, and has a bit of flexibility once the glue has fully dried to keep rhinestones from being knocked or chipped off of whatever they are applied to.
After 24hr drying time, the glue is still flexible which could be due to the glass surface. Glass is listed as a suitable surface.
80% appreciated the quick drying time, but 20% found it dried slowly
Even after the listed 24hr drying time, the glue remains flexible. It could be due to the glass surface.
71% liked the long-lasting bond
I have been using this glue for years without any issues of stones coming off. The glue creates a strong bond.
71% praised the strong adhesive bond
The adhesive is easy to work with and creates a strong bond once it dries, keeping the crystal designs in place.
I have never had any problems with the glue in terms of strength. It holds tightly and performs as stated.
