Industrial Strength Adhesive E6000

• Self-leveling formula distributes evenly across surfaces, minimizing the need to spread or reposition adhesive after application.
• Approximately 5-minute working time allows for placement adjustments before the bond sets — useful when aligning small components, findings, rhinestones, or layered materials.
• Cures to a flexible, rubber-like consistency that accommodates movement and vibration in finished pieces without cracking or separating at the bond line.
• Waterproof and washer/dryer safe once fully cured, keeping bonded materials secure through repeated handling and washing.
• Paintable once cured, allowing the adhesive bead to be covered without a visible seam in finished or decorated projects.
• Compatible with wood, metal, glass, ceramics, fabric, and many plastics — covering the range of materials used in craft assembly, embellishment work, and repair projects.

E6000 adhesive is widely used in jewelry making to bond findings, bezels, and embellishments to metal, glass, and wood bases where a flexible cured bond is important. Its compatibility with ceramics and glass makes it a dependable choice for mosaic assembly and broken ceramic repair. Crafters use it to attach decorative wood components — knobs, buttons, and cutout pieces — to mixed-material assemblies where the bond may experience movement over time. It is also a go-to rhinestone adhesive for attaching glass and crystal flatback stones to hard surfaces such as tumblers, phone cases, and sneakers, as well as directly to fabric for costume and wearable embellishment projects. Because it cures clear and accepts paint, it also works well for assemblies that will receive a painted or decorated finish where seam visibility would be a problem.

• What surfaces does E6000 bond to?
  E6000 adhesive bonds to wood, metal, glass, ceramics, fabric, and many plastics. Once fully cured, the bond is waterproof and washer/dryer safe.
• What surfaces should I avoid using E6000 on?
  E6000 is not recommended for polystyrene, polyethylene, or polypropylene plastics, and does not bond well to paper products.
• How long does E6000 take to fully cure?
  Full cure takes 24 to 72 hours. A working time of approximately 5 minutes allows for placement adjustments before the bond begins to set, and the adhesive reaches initial handling strength within 10 to 30 minutes.
• Does E6000 stay flexible after curing?
  Yes — E6000 cures to a flexible, rubber-like consistency that accommodates movement in finished pieces without cracking or separating at the bond line.
• Can I paint over E6000 once it has cured?
  Yes — E6000 is paintable once fully cured, so the adhesive can be covered in finished or decorated projects without a visible seam.
• Is E6000 safe to use indoors?
  E6000 releases strong fumes during application and requires use in a well-ventilated area only. It should not be used in confined spaces without adequate airflow.
• Does E6000 work for attaching rhinestones and flatback embellishments?
  Yes — E6000 bonds glass and crystal flatback rhinestones to hard surfaces such as tumblers, phone cases, and sneakers, as well as to fabric. The flexible, waterproof cure helps embellishments hold up through regular use and handling.

E6000 adhesive delivers a flexible, waterproof bond that holds up through handling, washing, and the natural movement of finished pieces — attributes that matter in jewelry work, rhinestone embellishment, craft repair, and mixed-material builds where a rigid bond would fail over time. The clear cure and paintable finish keep finished surfaces clean and seam-free. Available in single tubes or 12-packs, it suits both occasional project use and higher-volume production runs.
