What is the difference in using E6000 glue when adding rhinestones?

I would be nervous about the durability and lasting use of elmer's glue. E-6000 is purposed for fabric. You know it will last. Elmer's glue might work now but it's probable that the rhinestones will fall off down the line. I say invest now so that you're safe rather than sorry!

thanks so very much

Elmers Glue is water based. It's not meant to last. E6000 is the better choice. And if the fabric needs to be washed, a gentle hand wash and air dry can be done.

thanks

I agree with the other responders Elmer's glue is not for clothing. You might also check for glue that has a little stretch.

Elmer's will dissolve in water. And crack if dried. E 6000 is used by jewelers so you know it is reliably more permanent.

thank you!

E6000 is a great glue but it is not meant for everything. It tries flexible but I have had it dissolve the back off of some rhinestones. Elmers used to have a formula that made it dry brittle so it was not good for some projects, but it has changed over the past few years and is not more flexible. If elmers is working for you I see no reason to change. Year ago, when painting my clothes and that was before they was fabric paint I used the paint to stick on my rhinestones. I have shirts today (I should be ashamed to admit) that I did in this method and they are still holding fast.

E6000 glue holds gems on glass and porcelain but often flows through the fabric to the other side. All glues are not created equal. You may have to experiment. Stores like Michael often have charts on what glue is best for the medium you are using

thanks so much!
