The Best Glues For Crystals Another question I have is about the longevity of gem tac. I am worried after time, does the gem tac deteriorate and the rhinestones loosen? (much like if you leave sellotape for a long time, it dries and becomes ‘brittle’). There are no nauseating fumes to put up with or health concerns. You can even safely glue crystals to a face mask without compromising the quality of the air you inhale. You done a good job of the comparision of the rhinestone glues. It is very clear to let us know which glue for which material.

They are strong, clear, and water-resistant. Gem-Tac is our favorite because it is water-based and non-toxic, followed closely by Aleene’s liquid fusion.

Thanks for such an informative post and for taking the time to answer comments! I’m planning to crystal a satin covered steel boned corset and wanted your opinion before starting. I assumed e6000 would be the best bet but as the corset will bend and shift during dressing, I was unsure whether this glue would hold up to that kind of stress. Any advice?I have not yet found a glue to beat E6000, but my biggest concern about the glue is the strong fumes it gives off, which I worry is harmful as I use it on a daily basis. It is my understand that this a not a problem when the glue is dry, as it is just the vapours of the glue that makes it harmful. What glue would you recommend for the sole of a high heel shoe? All it says for the material is synthetic. Gem-Tac has a slow setting time of one hour and a 24-hour cure time. On the bright side, you get a longer window period to reposition crystals if you need to.

Of the various ways to fix crystals – sewing, prong setting, heat setting – gluing is the most preferred method. This is mainly due to its versatility and simplicity. I’m decorating my daughter competition tutu with rhinestones and wondered which glue you would recommend? Keep collections to yourself or inspire other shoppers! Keep in mind that anyone can view public collections - they may also appear in recommendations and other places.I just wanted to ask what glue is the best for use on cotton.

(If you intend to test adhesives yourself I suggest using something other than your fingers to dislodge the crystals.)

Also, if anyone uses a filter mask, which filters do you use? I am currently using a 3M mask with the organic ‘6055’ filters. Excellent for attaching rhinestones, gems, mirrors, pearls and other embellishments to a wide variety of materials. E6000 is quite hard to buy in terms of you can never quite match the picture to what you will actually be sent. Although the picture says medium viscosity, I am often sent the high viscosity which is difficult to work with.
