Product Information
Full details
This E6000 Craft Contact Adhesive Glue is designed for crafters and DIY enthusiasts needing a fast-setting, permanent bond for delicate projects involving metal, stones, jewels, and more. Its key benefit is a quick 2-3 minute set time with a thin, clear, water-resistant, and paintable finish. A potential caveat is its thin viscosity, which requires careful application to avoid excess flow.

FAQs
How long does E6000 Quick Hold take to fully cure?
Full cure typically takes 72 hours, though it sets to the touch within 2-3 minutes. Curing times can vary based on temperature and humidity.
Can I use this on fabric?
While it can bond some fabrics to other materials, it's not ideal for flexible fabric-to-fabric applications. For fabric, consider E6000 Fabric Glue.
Is this glue waterproof?
Yes, once fully cured, the bond is water-resistant.
Can I paint over the cured glue?
Yes, the glue dries clear and is paintable once fully cured.
What should I do if I get glue on my skin?
Wash immediately with soap and water. If irritation persists, seek medical attention. Avoid using solvents on skin.
How should I store the adhesive?
Store in a cool, dry place with the cap tightly sealed. Avoid extreme temperatures and direct sunlight.
Is this glue safe for outdoor use?
The cured adhesive is water-resistant and can withstand outdoor conditions, but prolonged exposure to extreme UV or weather may degrade the bond over time.
Troubleshooting
Adhesive is not bonding well
Ensure surfaces are clean and dry. Check if the adhesive has expired or been stored improperly. Increase clamping pressure and time.
Adhesive is too thick to apply
Ensure the product is at room temperature. If the nozzle is clogged, carefully clear it with a pin. Ensure the cap was sealed properly to prevent premature drying.
Adhesive remains tacky after 72 hours
This can happen in high humidity or cold conditions. Ensure proper ventilation and that the application was not too thick. Try gently warming the bonded area (avoid excessive heat).
Difficulty removing excess adhesive
Wipe away wet adhesive immediately with mineral spirits or acetone (test surface first). For dried adhesive, carefully scrape away or use a specialized adhesive remover.
