It&#8217;s an excellent general purpose adhesive that works very well with<\/span><!--more--><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"> polymer clay beads, rhinestones, glass, leather, wood and metal.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Like white glue, Weldbond has a fairly long cure time. It is highly water resistant but not necessarily waterproof (i.e. completely submerged).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">If you are looking for alternatives to Weldbond as a Craft Glue, I discovered this handy Glue-It-To-It <\/span><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">reference tool at the Michael&#8217;s web site.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Basically you &#8220;tell&#8221; the app what types of materials you&#8217;re working with, and it then provides tips and product suggestions to use. They even have polymer clay on the list which is very cool. But I didn&#8217;t see Weldbond, so it&#8217;s not perfect.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Now as luck would have it, this GlueIt tool was having some technical difficulties just before I went to publish this article post, But I did call the Michael&#8217;s customer support number (1-800-642-4235), and they said it was just a temporary glitch. So hopefully by the time you read this, the problem will be resolved. If not, feel free to give them a call to find out what&#8217;s up.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">In the comments section of this post, let&#8217;s talk about your favorite craft glues and adhesives.
