No worries Ginger Davis Allman, I will NOT be taking over your work anytime soon! I don’t have the patience or desire to do all the careful controls and samples that you include in your testing. So I grabbed a few samples and did a not-entirely-scientific test. I’ve been given to understand that Super Glue gets brittle after being subjected to those temperatures.įor some reason I was in the mood to test it out. Great clay for faux techniques and other projects where clarity is a benefit. Color whiter or more glass-like in color than other brands.

In fact, there are so many adhesives out just for jewelry making that Fire Mountain Gems made a chart of all of them. This week several orders of glue came in and it got me to thinking about the different types of glue we use in different applications: jewelry making, beading, polymer clay and other crafty things. ![]()
