I recently did a textured mixed-media painting that incorporated some large groupings of heavy beads that I needed to glue on, and the painting was also going to be shipped so I had to be extra careful. Due to the texture of the painting, it was especially difficult to try to get everything glued down evenly and securely. I find hot glue guns and other common craft glues to be useless but I would never use a super glue for this sort of situation either because I couldn't have the glue clumping up, getting white, ruining the beads, and so forth.

I didn't have any good options around so I tried this Gorilla Super Glue. My boyfriend has it in the house from working on building models, and I hoped it would be okay for the beads. I was pleasantly surprised. The fact that you can choose either the nozzle or the brush is very convenient and makes the glue extra versatile. My favorite aspect, however, is that this glue manages to bond instantly yet not bond ALL 100% instantly. Thus I could get my bead ready with glue, attach it to the painting, move it around a little bit to make it perfect, and then hold it down to solidify the bond permanently. It is the teeniest of wiggle room it gives for just the teeniest amount of extra time, but that prevents a lot of mistakes. And the bond was fantastic, even when I have used the glue in situations when I'd expect regular super glue to fail.

I love that you can choose between the nozzle and the brush. I thought I'd be using the nozzle, but Ive preferred to use the brush so far. Also, it doesnt dry up unlike your usual superglue.

Prices great hold but bottle too small for the cost. Still good.

This glue can keep anything together. I would purchase more if need be.

Love the two different application methods. Have used both but I prefer the brush as it allows better control. The viscosity is just right and not runny, making it less messy. Dries in a few seconds so you have to work quickly. Best super glue I have used.
