My bottle looks slightly different than that but you get the idea – it’s a nice thick consistency glue that I use just a dot in the socket in (about 7mm large in an 11mm eye socket). I also use this glue to adhere the gems to Keeper Dragon’s tails because it dries very clear and very flat – if you have a small bit of excess on the tail paint you won’t be able to see it at all.
I’ve bought one jar of this glue and I can hardly tell I’ve used it at all – it’s great!

I took Yeral’s advice and picked up the Aleene’s gel, now I don’t worry about being clumsy.
Elmers… but I think as long as it’s sticky it will work. 😀
Elmer’s glue (ie. white glue). I think I remember seeing a thread long ago that Melody mentioned that white glue is what they use at the factory, but I could be wrong.

No you are right, that’s what they (and myself) use.

My art: featherdust.comI also use tacky glue…the stuff that comes in the gold squeeze bottles. I like that it’s not too thin or thick, and dries nice and clear when I use it for other projects. 🙂
I find that the very best all purpose adhesive is E6000. It is permanent when fully cured, and any excess rubs off like rubber cement without damages or discoloring to paints, sealers, and a variety of surfaces. What is so nice about it besides that, is you have “wiggle room” for adjusting a setting for about 30 minutes. It dries completely clear too! :yes:
