I agree with Bill's comments on epoxy - even better than a 60 minute hobby epoxy would something like West System thickened with colloidal silica, but that can...
Hello Everyone! Thanks for the advise on adhesives! :) I finally settled on clear E6000 craft adhesive. she claimed this adhesive was a "life saver". (She...
