Default Best Glue for Gems...

Hi all!

I was wondering what glue you use for putting gems on your cards...I usually use Alenes but today I noticed one of my gems fell off maybe I am not putting enough glue...:(

I use either Mono Multi or Crystal Effects - whatever happens to be sitting within reach at the time. ;) Both work very well. I have inquired about my card(s) arriving in tact and have yet to hear about any of the gems falling off using either product. Hope this helps.

I have a hot fix tool so I usually use that but I've I'm using other gems I either use a glue dot or Crystal Effects, depending on the size.

I use the smallest glue dot, I think it's 3/16" for all my bling. I get bling from WalMart in the sewing/buttons section. Haven't had any fall off yet.

I use a product called Crafter's Pick Ultimate glue. I've never had a problem with my crystals falling off.

Crystal effects or glue dots. I love using gems on my pages.
