To glue metal jewelry, use strong adhesives like super glue (cyanoacrylate) or epoxy. Loctite 603 works well for metal. Aleene’s Jewelry & Metal Glue is waterproof and great for repairs. Always follow product instructions and allow proper curing time to ensure a secure and lasting bond.
It’s important to prepare both surfaces before applying the adhesive. Clean the metal thoroughly to remove dirt or oils that could interfere with the bond. Sanding the metal lightly can also enhance adherence. Apply the adhesive evenly and hold the pieces together until the bond sets.
Allow adequate drying time according to the manufacturer’s instructions. This patience ensures a strong hold. Remember to work in a well-ventilated area and wear gloves for safety.
