Item Name: Crystal Cement SKU: 12205 Description: Crystal cement is a clear, fast-grabbing adhesive used for bonding glass to glass and glass to metal in situations where you want a neat bond line and controlled application. It is typically packaged in a small precision tube so you can place a thin bead exactly where you need it, which is especially useful for small coldworking and assembly tasks around the studio. In lampworking and general glass shop use, it is commonly chosen for temporary or light-duty attachment jobs such as securing a small glass component during layout, holding a finding or bail in place while you verify fit, or making quick, clean repairs on non-heat-bearing items that will not be exposed to torch flame or kiln temperatures. How it is used: Clean and dry both surfaces so the adhesive can wet the glass properly. Apply a small amount of cement in a thin, continuous bead. Press parts together and hold or fixture until the bond grabs. Allow the bond to fully cure before handling heavily or packaging.
