Does this glue degrade the backside of plastic gemstones and give them a "cracked" appearance, like E6000 does?

To my experience, Aleene's Platinum Bond Adhesive (now called Aleene's Super Fabric Adhesive, but the UPC number is still 0-17754-15271-8), does not cause plastic gemstones to degrade and have a cracked appearance. I have made many costumes for my children with this Aleene's product. Over the course of fifteen years, I have never seen any gemstones take on an unusual appearance even after ten years or more. I've attached plastic jewels to fabrics ranging from real and fake leathers to satin, chiffon and netting (butterfly wings). I can't say enough good things about this particular Aleene's product. I have never tried the E6000 product of which you speak, so I can only imagine the cracked appearance you describe in your question, but I can say the plastic jewels I've mated with this glue look just as good as the day I applied them to the fabric, even years later. I have used the Allene's Tacky Glue (in the gold colored bottle) and it doesn't work at all. Delta Jewel Glue and Beacon Gem Tac are slightly better than totally worthless, but just aren't in the same league as Aleene's Platinum Bond. The Platinum Bond Adhesive also really does work in the context of running things through the washing machine (in a lingerie bag), and plastic jewels don't look any different afterwards and two fabrics glued together don't fall apart.

I didn't tried yet - the ones I've cleaned so far have other gems - amber, amethyst, rubies, peridot...no problem with these. works excellent

Epoxies need a rough surface to adhere properlu - if you can sand the back of the rhinestones they will be fine. It cannot be removed once it cures, but can be washed off before it hardens. It does not foam (the hour long set time gives time for air bubbles caused by mixing to rise to the surface and pop)

Hi, No, not really; for gemstones my suggestion's a Presidium Duo-Tester. It's pricey.

Sculpey Polymer Clay has no adhesive quality. But try it on a small piece of stone and see how it responds. I think you will be happy with the results. Just be gentle while handling it and make sure you have a thick enough piece that you are not tearing it while it is in use. Gary

Seems to hold ok on plastics if allowed to completely dry (at least overnight). For things like stone and metal it doesn't adhere so well. Agitation more so than water itself is the problem (such as rinsing the glued item under running water). Probably better off using 4-minute epoxy, testing an inconspicuous area first to make sure the adhesive doesn't dissolve the items being glued.

Not in my experience. I bought this and used it on both of those items, a cell phone and a camera lens, and there was no improvement between the before and after. And please note, these were very small, superficial marks I was attempting to use the product on.

This worked for me on sapphire crystal and diamonds, but I am not sure it would work for other gems.

GG usually does remove old glue/decal residue, but I believe your glue may have hardened over the years. Keep rubbing with GG for 5 minutes as hard as you can. If nothing, then it probably won't work. You'll need to scrape it off with a metal scraper & maybe a razor for the last small bits remaining. Careful if you don't wanna scratch your tiles.

I've not used any of mine on crystal but on stone and some glass. Very pleased so far and I think they will do what you want.

The chemical in the cleaner can harm certain non-gold pieces. You are safe if you just dip it in the solution and rinse it off immediately. In addition, the ultrasonic action can even possibly loosen stones of real jewelry and if stones are just glued in or not mounted well on the costume jewelry you can have a problem

Yes. We have alot customers purchase hotfix on accident and you can use the Gem Tac or the E6000 glue on them. Thank you TamisPlace

You can go to your local Michael's or AC Moore or even Walmart to purchase e6000 glue or Gemtac. If you are going to add rhinestones to clothing...there is a fabric glue that is right next to the e6000.

Yes! I used to polish my real Japanese silver vase decorated with all kind of stones and shells! I also use to polish my silver ring with jade! Hope my information help :))

hi, my first thought was ,just like woolite,joy dish deterjent. but it does clean without building bubbles,and unlike other jewelry cleaners,you can use this with fine,gemstones or costume jewelry.although it does warn against cleaning porous or 'delecate' jewelry. this i believe ,is because it can also remove some of the 'glue' and therefore cause an item to 'brek' or come apart,i did this to a brooch(i cleaned 3 x in a row-super concentrated-i learned my lesson). however no ingredients are listed,quite likely it is a baking soda and borax,but possibly you can find out from manufacturer which is "blitz manufacturing company,inc. jeffersonville,in 47130. i hope this helps.

I do not use it for that, but I am sure that ir would work. Put the dot of glue where you want the rhinestone, then place the bling on the glue. Reverse twizzers help. I am going to use it to place a large die cut on my Christmas cards.

I don't know specifically, I have. Diamond bright finish. By the way, this particular stopped circulating after two months. I would not recommend it.
