Epoxy

I used this to repair a pair of vintage gold and pearl earrings I have after doing some research on what jewelers recommended for securing pearls. I am amazed. I think this works better than the designated pearl glue I had tried out in the past. The pears have held for months, in and out of the water, showing no sign of budging. So impressed!

My wife makes jewelry and uses this to bond stones to settings.

I saw a video online by the Jewelry Academy where they used epoxy glue as resin. So the search was on for a 'water clear' epoxy glue. So many of them have a very pale yellow cast, which is fine if you're going to use it on some colors, but I needed clear. This one is ultra clear, even on white polymer clay and paper. It cures in a few hours (5 or 6) but you only have about 15-20 minutes of working time, so you need to have everything ready. It does self-level if you do it quickly, and it resists pulling away from the edges because it cures so quickly. These tubes are the size of the Hypo cement, very small tubes, and although you only use a little at a time, if you want to cast several pieces, you'll have to work fast. My only issue was that I couldn't get it in larger bottles like the BSI Epoxy glue (which does have a slight yellow cast to it). I use the epoxy on parchment paper, which it doesn't stick to, so cleanup is easy. I can reuse the parchment paper if I pick of the hardened glue.

I use this in lapidary applications where I need to fill holes and not have the epoxy yellow quickly over time. Quick epoxies like Loctite 5 minute work well for fast setting but the downside is yellowing sooner over time. HXTAL is the Rolex of epoxies and stays clear the longest and is used mainly to preserve and fix valuable books and artifacts. The problem with HXTAL is it takes 1-2 weeks to cure completely. Epoxy 330 cures in about 2 hours and rock hard overnight so is a balance between time/clarity and time to cure.

I purchased this epoxy the repair a couple of jewelry items that were broken, a broken stone heart and a broken medallion. This was recommended by a friend and this has been a great product. has repaired both items and my wife is happy with the repair. not much you can ask beyond that.

My fiancé gifted me with a beautiful jade bracelet from China. When I took a fall and it broke; I was devastated.After much searching and research, I decided to give this product a try.I followed the mixing directions as shown on the package and painted on the epoxy with a small paint brush. I held it together for the 10 minute curing time and allowed it to harden overnight. After 12-18 hours, I put on the bracelet (which is a tight fit and required some severe shoving and possible impact to the repair); no cracking, shifting or breaking. I am so happy to have this piece again.Definitely a great buy!

I used this for years while making jewelry and needing a method besides prongs to hold stones into findings. This stuff works and never seems to deteriorate. Now I'm using it to close all gaps in spider houses so the little critters don't get out and wander to and fro. Get some, worth the money.

i have a ring from late grandma which is over 100 year old. i finally found a ruby stone that fits. this epoxy mix is the only one recommended for jewelry. and it is super easy to use! it is clear and even though i did not do a very good job, it is still beautiful!
