The smell of this glue made me nauseous and with the warnings on it seems a little dangerous to use so I use it outside. The smell isn't terribly strong so I guess there are just fumes....? Anyway, I'm using this glue to glue on flat back pearls onto Keds and I started my project and bent the shoe all around once I had glued some pearls on and none of them popped off. So far so good.

Made mistake cause wanted to use to glue kitchen bowl back together and discovered couldn't use on instruments that will contain food. However it is finding its place around the house on other projects. Have used previously and am very happy with its performance.

my favorite glue in the world. I keep a tube of the everywhere. You can use it on EVERYTHING and it HOLDS! I first discovered it a few years ago when my husband broke a shelf in our shower. Directly under the stream of water, this glue held up a glass shelf with shampoo bottles, soaps, etc, to a plastic and metal backing for about 3 years (and would still be holding, we just decided to replace the shower). And if you get it on your fingers you just have to rub them together and it comes off, so it isn't messy.

Bonds very fast, metal to plastic, and metal to pleather. I am steampunking several items and the glue bonds very well.

One thing though, the smell is strong (like headache inducing strong) and you really need to ventilate the area or stick the projects outside to cure and give it time for the smell to disappear.

I'm giving E6000 a 4 for efficacy but I would not use it if I could find an alternative. For jewelry crafting it doesn't yellow and it remains somewhat flexible-- the reason it holds so well. If you get a little bit on a finding or stone, dulling it, you can scrape it off no matter how long it has cured.

This cannot be said of any other glue I have found. Not superglue. Not the specialty jeweler's glue in tiny tubes with the needle-thin syringe (it doesn't hold). Not epoxy. Not even my favorite of favorite glues, Duco Cement.

But it's so gloopy. A pointy applicator tip, not included, won't help, so don't bother. Rhinestones? Gluing them on with melted mozzarella would be easier. The E6000 texture just isn't right for fine applications. You can to work around it with semi-satisfactory results, applying it with a stainless steel dental pick (the style that has a very slight spatula on the end), and even that isn't ideal. Needles and pins don't work, nor do toothpicks. E6000 sticks better to wood than metal or stone.

But it's not just the viscosity. The real problem is the fumes. I am not chemically sensitive. My nickname is Chemical Amy. Wet paint smells pleasant. Bleach, Ammonia, hydrochloric acid -- sock it to me. Some glues make me dizzy, but not E6000 dizzy, which feels ominous way I can't put my finger on. It's not more severe -- it just feels like it's doing permanent damage. The hazards are disclosed on the package, but who takes that stuff seriously? Respirators are for cowards!

Well, not in this instance. Get a vapor respirator. Not a facemask but a real respirator with an organic filter, according to 3M. I don't think E6000 hurts your eyes so you could probably use a half respirator for about $13. Or a heavier duty half-respirator for $25. The filters run about $11. Don't forget to put dogs, cats and babies in another room.

Respirators work, but they're a lousy solution. If you have never used one, they are a MAJOR pain. You're not breathing aire so much as sucking air with enough force to get it to pass through the filter. A lot of force. I hate respirators so much that despite the effectiveness of this product, I will use it for jewelry crafting and a select few applications that require its specific qualities and stick with Duco for everything else.
