I read the answers about glue problems and I've tried most of them. I really enjoy shell art but I just can't get the right glue. Does anyone know of one that is 100% frustration free?
E6000 - is good preforming adhesive that can b e permanent and also waterproof . Here's why- gluereview.com/
Gorilla Glue should do the job nicely.
Perhaps try Aleene's clear gel tacky glue.

What is the best adhesive for seashell crafting?

I was just at a craft fair a few weeks back and this gentleman had birdhouses covered in shells, and asked him if they were waterproof and he said yes and told him I have a birdhouse and 100's of shells and didn't know what to use...he told me to use clear bathroom silicone, will make it waterproof! Haven't done it yet, but will try when weather here gets cold, good luck!
I want to glue real sand dollars to my semi gloss painted bathroom walls for a 3-D border look. What kind of glue would I use? I don't want the steam from showers to cause them to fall off.

Buy a small tube of clear silicon sealant, although any color will do.
Silicon is used to assemble home aquariums BTW, if you are concerned about the quality.
E-6000 is the best, but she is right, it might be a bit to dry. If you want them to stay for a long time, you might consider the glue, then a small nail to keep it 'in place' till the glue dried, with a bit sticking out to pliar out once it does.
The velcro is a great idea, and is less invasive on the wood. You can just consider the nail if you are very careful.
When you get it done, share it with us!! It sounds pretty!
Is Gorilla glue the best glue for seashells?
By John from London
NO WAY...messy, impossible to get off your hands and it bubbles up and out as it cures. The best would be either Weldbond (water based) or Goop, aka E-6000 (solvent based). If they are fairly small shells, I would go with the Weldbond glue. I buy it at my local Ace Hwd. store, but it's on-line too.
This is a page about attaching seashells to plywood. If you crafting with seashells there may be a need to adhere them to wood or other materials.
I have a picture I want to make by gluing decorative sand and shells to a canvas. What glue is best to use?
I use "Gorilla Glue" for all of my craft projects, read the label and use the one suggested for your use.
They also sell Sea Shell Glue. If you have any coupons, you can lower cost. www.hobbylobby.com/
I have many tiny seashells and I would like to make them into rings as gifts to family. I have purchased ring blanks and have E6000 glue.
Is this the best glue to use to secure the seashell to the ring?It is a good glue. Rings get a lot of use and I am concerned about the shells getting smashed. What about making necklaces or pins instead?
I have a beautiful pair of native earrings and the main piece is abalone. I dropped one and it broke. The pieces still fit together, but I don't know what I might be able to use to repair it without a big blob of glue showing in the repair spot.
I saw the posts about the best adhesives here for affixing shells to other objects, but not shell to shell.
Any ideas?
thanks so much!]
