Using the Right Glue for Seashell Crafts

April 7, 2021

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?

E-6000 and Gorilla glue work as well, but some people think Gorilla glue is messy, it bubbles up. Some people think that E-6000 is a bit to dry.
I think you just have to try and decide for yourself which one you like best.

I am running a booth at a children's gift making workshop this weekend and am planning/hoping to make a very simple oyster shell wreath. Does anyone have any suggestions for a good glue/adhesive that is quick drying?

We'll have about 20-25 kids over a 2 hour period so time is a huge factor. Thanks so much!

You could try some Elmer's Craft Bond. This is a good strong glue and this one is quick-drying and should do the trick for you.

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!]

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?
