Question from Mir

 

Could you help me find a good jewelry glue?

This is not something I intend to use often; just to repair a few pieces of jewelry, so perhaps it’s less of a concern and the exposure is only while it’s drying?

I googled non-toxic jewelry glue but not sure what to look for.  Ideally one I can get on Amazon or a low-shipping free :-/

These are the 2 I found recommended:
(1) Crafter’s Pick–The Ultimate
(2) Weldbond

I’m inclined to go with (2) b/c their website seems more transparent and they said they can provide an MSDS (they volunteered this in their FAQ).  I emailed them, I’ll let you know what they say.

Lisa’s Answer

 

I looked for a MSDS online for Weldbond and didn’t see one.  I’ve never used a jewelry glue before so I’m not familiar with a safer one.  If you expect to use this only on occasion, I am not too concerned about it being a significant exposure.  Make sure you use it in a well ventilated area, ideally outside, and allow it fully cure.
