Product description
A large tube of E6000, a clear, self-leveling industrial adhesive for regular work in the studio, the workshop and the craft shop. 109.4 ml is enough for many bonds of stones, leather, fabric, metal and glass, and for large craft and repair projects.
What makes E6000 adhesive special
E6000 is a multi-purpose industrial adhesive made in the USA. It dries clear and stays flexible, so the bond doesn't crack when the material bends, stretches or cools. After full curing it is water-resistant, holds up through washing and machine drying, and can be painted over. Its working temperature range after curing is from minus 40°C to 82°C.
What it bonds
Wood, metal, glass, fiberglass, ceramic, concrete, leather, rubber, vinyl, fabrics and many plastics. It is not suitable for polyethylene, polypropylene, polystyrene and Styrofoam, nor for items that come into contact with food, drinking water or animals.
What is a self-leveling adhesive
The Self-Leveling text on the tube indicates that the adhesive spreads out by itself into a flat, smooth layer. This helps when filling grooves, gluing stones into a setting and making a clear, even coating.
Common uses
Gluing stones, rhinestones and sequins in quantity for evening wear, costumes and shoes
Gluing leather, vinyl and fabric in bags and accessories
Repairing jewelry, buckles and metal items
Gluing glass, ceramic and wood in craft work and set design
Gluing elements for store displays and shop windows
Who it's for
Costume and evening gown designers, jewelers, craft and set design studios, and stores that build displays. For businesses and quantity orders, wholesale prices are available by contacting us.
Professional tips
Surfaces need to be clean, dry and free of grease. On a very smooth surface, it is worth roughening it slightly.
Apply a thin layer, wait about 2 minutes until the adhesive becomes tacky, and press together.
Hold the parts in place while drying. A thin layer dries within 24 hours, and a thick layer needs 48–72 hours for full strength.
Clean adhesive that hasn't dried yet with acetone. Dry adhesive can only be removed by scraping or cutting.
Work in a ventilated space: the adhesive contains solvents and fumes that are best not inhaled.
Common mistakes
Using the garment or jewelry before at least 24 hours have passed.
A layer that is too thick, which greatly lengthens the drying time.
Gluing polyethylene or polypropylene plastic, which the adhesive doesn't grip.
How it differs from the small tube
This is the same E6000 adhesive in a large quantity, economical for regular work. For an occasional repair or small, precise work there is also a 5.3 ml tube. All the adhesives on the site are gathered in the Glues category.
