How to use it on clothes, fabric, trim, rhinestones, and so many more things. Just make sure you don't use it on Styrofoam. Buy it anywhere from walmart to home depot. If you want colors, check out michals and hobby lobby. It's flexible, stretchy and totally waterproof.

I always get those dollar tree application bottles with the screw top, then transfer the whole new tube into the applicator bottle. I find it doesn't take long for the metal tube to crack somewhere and you have e6000 everywhere you don't want it and the rest is trashed. This way, it never plugs up because I keep it stored upside down in my tray, when it gets low, I just put it right side up and refill. It's nice because the application tip makes for knowing exactly where and how much you are applying. All my bottles are clearly marked with what they are. I do this with my epoxies that come in big metal tubes too! Makes things so much easier and cleaner

[@MakerHighSchool]

Every time I've tried using those, the plastic ends up warping? I bought them online, but I'll try the ones from dollar tree. They might be made with different polymers that won't react to the glue. Great tip. Thanks for sharing!

[@melodyprice5291]

Great Idea! Thank you :)

[@joelowens6862]

To keep glue from spurting out when the cap is opened, pinch the tube as if you are trying to make it go back to its original shape. This creates a bit of a vacuum and pulls the glue back in. As soon as it's in, put the cap back on, and you'll have to give the tube a little squeeze before any comes out the next time. This is really good and inexpensive adhesive!

[@MakerHighSchool]

Great tip. I'll give it a try!

[@Engineerboy100]

Excellent review, I am a mechanical engineer and plan to use this glue for a much more industrial application but I was very impressed with how well you presented and how thorough you were, good job and thank you!

[@MakerHighSchool]

Thank you for commenting and saying such nice things. I really do love this stuff. I wish I had more time to make videos, but I always try to double check my information, because I want to be someone people can trust when it comes to my videos. Plus, I really love this stuff. I took a look at your channel and subscribed. Great stuff! You might also like some of the videos from Project Farm. He's one of the guys I subscribed to. He has things like strength tests for glues, duct tape and a bunch of other stuff. I really like how he has an "even playing field" for his comparisons, and I really appreciate his impact tests. I think you'll enjoy his content. (I don't know him or anything. Just like recommending other channels I think people might enjoy)

[@entactus2334]

Pro tip 2: use old e6000 caps to make custom applicator tips. I cut a 90 degree opening into the cap so it can be applied to thin edges on plexiglass. Without the custom tip its hard to apply a bead along that thin edge. Don't do this if you don't have an extra cap or you won't have one to close the e6000.

[@lisamccurry4003]

Great tip thank you

[@rembo318]

Then you can apply it like a tube of caulk! Thats a great idea! Thanks!

[@tammygurl64]

I recently learned about E6000 and a light bulb lit in my brain wondering if it's waterproof when I found your video. I think this will be perfect to repair some new bowling shoes where the sole is coming loose (I wondered why I got such a good deal on them - lol). You did a great job here. Thanks so much for sharing! 😀

[@MakerHighSchool]

Anytime! If it doesn't work you can also try barge cement (which was made specifically for shoe repair). If it doesn't work, let me know and I'll move the barge cement up in the list of videos to make.

[@hthrnnclrk]

I am so glad you mentioned about the Styrofoam!! I was just getting ready to glue something to form board and now I will be very sure to test it first!

[@kkrolf2782]

I wonder if the paper on the large surfaces wouldn’t help keep the “innards” from being an issue? Maybe it would be sufficient to dig out the foam around each of the edges and fold over the paper to give you surfaces to adhere mating edges? I’m probably making it more of a pain than it needs to be (🤪) , sorry!

This is a great introduction to E6000! I wish I had known about this sooner!

[@interstellar.spaceboots]

Thank you 😊 You totally cleared up some issues I had with using the glue previously (I made a mess). Using the corner of a bag to dispense it in a more controlled way is such a good idea! Such a tiny amount can end up everywhere. Going to try using a sandwich bag today, thanks for the tip 😀

You are so welcome! I hope it works well for you.

[@yootoob2193]

Thank you! Thank you! Three bags full! (Liked and Subscribed) Very informative, no time-wasting "chat," but very personable. I appreciate the demonstrations. One note: "Photo" often refers to sunlight exposure, so "photo safe" probably means this adhesive will not fail if exposed to sunlight. Some substrates and adhesives yellow or become brittle in sunlight.

[@MakerHighSchool]

Thanks for the compliments! In terms of glue, it usually means it wont react with the chemicals that are used (or WERE used) in the old form of photo processing. I love your description, tho. Science, ftw!

[@deborahguerrera4074]

I need plyers too and I use a toothpick to open the hole. I don't mind doing it that way bc I don't loose any glue!

[@karenneill9109]

I use syringes with filling needle (dull, but angled). I poke it right thru the tube, draw up a syringe full. The little hole in the tube seals up on it's own, and as long as you're careful not to get air in it won't cure, and the syringe controls the flow perfectly.

[@MakerHighSchool]

Interesting! I'll give it a try. 👍

The industrial spec sheet shows the clear is both a bit stronger and the most elastic, over 1100% to failure! White and black are still over 1000% and nearly as strong. The newest variation touted as zero solvents however looks to be a very different material, only 300% elongation. The UV resistant form also is hard to find in small tubes. The black might suffice as UV tolerant, as the light won't penetrate beyond the surface layer.

I use this Glue all the time. At work I repair anything broken, from wood to plastic to metal. I bought some for home use too. It does have a weird smell for a few days until fully cured. And sometimes the cap glues itself on, and I need pliers to get the cap off. This glue is a must have for any handyman. The places I wouldn't use it is food/drink containers, Very hot surfaces like mufflers or engines.

[@MakerHighSchool]

I bought the new version that's supposed to have no smell. We'll see how it works. Also, I read on instructables that if you use vasoline on the threads, it repels the glue. Seems to work pretty well. Found that after I made the video (of course). I'm trying to decide what to make the next batch of videos of. I'm thinking contact cement and two part epoxy for sure. Any suggestions are welcome

Can I use this clear product to reattach vinyl tear (approx. 2 inches) onto couch?

[@MakerHighSchool]

You could... but I'd suggest checking out tear aid (Type B, NOT type A) I think it would do a way better job. There are videos here on KZbin explaining how it works. It's about $10 retail. I remember buying it at Lowe's at couple years ago, so I would think they still carry it in store. If it were, say, 1/4 inch, not a big difference...but something that size, I'd go with the kit. Hope that was helpful!

[@lawrenceelliott350]

If the E6000 won’t stop oozing out, squeeze the tube in the middle/end in the oppposite direction you squeezed at first. It will create a vacuum and suck the glue back in.

Can you help me? Is there anything I can use to get it out? I have been letting it soak in dish soap & water for hours & it's not working.

[@MakerHighSchool]

I'd try acetone, paint thinner or nail polish remover, if it's just the metal. Those things will all discolor fabric. It's got a similar adhesive property to super glue, so that should work. Good luck!

Can E-6000 glue be used as an adhesive for applying cell phone screens?

[@MakerHighSchool]

I've never repaired a cell phone screen, so I'm not an expert. Having said that, assuming you are talking about the actual glass with the components (and not a screen protector) I did some quick research online and here's my best guess: Yes. I think it would be a great option since it's safe for electronics, wont corrode with the heat given off by the battery, and would add a minor cushioning effect if someone dropped the phone because of its flexibility. Please let me know how it goes!

[@electronicsoverhaul]

Use B-7000 for cell phones. E-6000 is harder to work with and less precise to apply. E-6000 is a bit too strong for cell phone screens. We use E-6000 for laptop hinges and moveable joints or wherever flexibility is needed.

Hi Lori! Thank you for sharing this video. I was wondering would this be good to use on foam (like the craft foam sheets)? I am trying to find a glue that would work best for that type of material. Any tips would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

[@MakerHighSchool]

Hi Adriana! I usually use contact cement for craft foam. It tends to give me a really good bond while staying flexible after it dries. (I'm planning on doing a video about it when I get a chance to start uploading again.) It doesn't warp the foam, and it's less expensive than the E6000 per oz. You can also give rubber cement a try. You can get the Elmer's brand at office depot for around $3.50. You don't have to worry as much about ventilation with this one, and if you want to pull something off after it dries, it's easy to pull the glue off. Hope that helps!

Would this be a good choice for attaching lace to converse? I am trying to find a good fabric glue that is water resistant but will not look like crap when used to apply lace.

[@MakerHighSchool]

I think it's a great choice. Since its waterproof, you dont have to worry when it rains or when you have to wash them. I'd use the toothpick method, and go slowly. They should turn out great! Ideally, if your lace was cotton with no polyester or rayon, you could even use fusible webbing, but most lace is made with it, currently. If you used the iron on it, it would melt. Let me know how it goes. 👍

[@BEASTNYC]

hey, can it be removed easy, if needed, from rubber after it cures? thx

[@MakerHighSchool]

Not really. There are solvents you can use to remove it, but it might damage the rubber. If you're looking for temporary, you might consider something like contact cement or caulk, but the bond won't be as strong. Hope that helps. 👍

Hi, Mike! Yes, it's possible. You'd have to be careful applying it, because depending on where you put it, if there's too much or too little, you going to have tugging and puckering. Hope that helps.

i need to glue fabric to vinyl on a chair permanently. im looking to glue the fabric down at the seams of a vinyl covered chair, then add piping over it. will this work? im afrid that "scooching" or wriggling and contant use of the chair will break the bond. if not, any suggestions?

[@MakerHighSchool]

I'm thinking this is probably going to be your best bet. Most other glues aren't going to have the give and would crack with repeated use. I'd take a fine grit sandpaper to the areas you're applying it to so it gives the glue more to grab onto. The only other glue I could suggest would be barge cement (in the yellow and red can) but if you're only doing one chair, you'll pay for a lot you wont be using. Hope that helps.

Great video! Never knew it could pass the rubber band test. I've used it to great success and found it really works good for attaching rubbery surfaces to harder ones. But I have a question. You mention it shrinks as it cures. Any idea how much it shrinks relative to its original size? I'd like to know as i'm going to try and use it as a filler for a gap but figure it obviously won't work if it shrinks to 1/2 its original volume.

[@MakerHighSchool]

If I remember correctly it shrinks about 20%. I believe I read that on the technical sheet. From experience I'd guess it shrinks between 15-20%. Hope that helps!

[@LifeinGlow]

Thanks for the video, which non-toxic glue is better for putting rhinestones on metal, fabric and leather? I used a special clear glue for jewelry making / crafts but they get off the surface (brass earrings that is). however E-6000 and superglue have an after smell too strong for my taste.

[@MakerHighSchool]

This is sort of the standard. If the smell is too much, you could look into hot fix stones. The glues already attached to the back and gets activated with a heat wand.

[@Karin6509]

Super helpful video! Thank you! I'm wanting to glue glass gems to glass bottles and am looking for the right glue to use. I tried regular hot glue and it's not great for that. Maybe this would work. I'm thinking if I scuff the bottle with sandpaper first and then clean both bottles and gems well, this might do the trick. I'll give it a try. Thanks again!

[@MakerHighSchool]

It should work. You may want to keep in mind that it's self leveling as well, so if you apply the glue while it's upright, it may have a tendency to drip if you apply too much. Good luck!

I've never done it, so I can't say for sure. However, if I were going to try it, this is what I would use. Let me know how it goes!

Hi, will this stuff work good to glue fabric to a compression shirt? If not do you know what is good for that? Thank s

[@robsaxepga]

You have a very nice voice. Thanks for the video.

[@MakerHighSchool]

Thank you. I just did a bunch of voices in the Rune 2 video game expansion, which is why I've been so busy!

[@anthonyanthony284]

Thanks for your informative video. I am quite worried about the cancer risk element. What if I had it in the house with the cap on stored away? Obviously the house isn't going to be ventilated 24/7 all the time.

[@MakerHighSchool]

If the cap in on, you're fine. It's the vapor you have to worry about. If the lid is on, no vapor. 👍

Hello great video! Do you know if I can use E6000 to glue a rhinestone to denim and then follow it up by adding heat to the rhinestone to help it glue better? Thanks!

[@MakerHighSchool]

There are heat set rhinestones you do that with (they don't last a super long time imho) and then glue rhinestones. Once the glue cures, heating them up won't do anything. This is the standard glue for rhinestones. 👍

[@kipperlane8959]

I used it outdoors along with a mask. For sure the next time I will use an applicator for placing rhinestones.

[@MakerHighSchool]

Awesome! I'm glad you were careful!

[@benweinstein5460]

hi! quick question, can I use it to glue my bedsheets together to make them warmer? thanks!

[@MakerHighSchool]

You can use this to glue them together. No idea if that will make them warmer. 😄

[@PatrickMichael2002]

Great info. What have your experiences been gluing cloth to leather? I need to attach an embroidered patch to leather. I cannot iron or sew it on. So, glue is really my only option. What do you think?

[@MakerHighSchool]

I've done it and two years later, it's still going strong (travel satchel). I did rough up the area lightly with sandpaper, but you probably don't have to. I just new it was going to be tossed around a lot, so wanted to make sure it had a little extra texture to grab on to. Hope that helps. Let me know if you have any other questions. 👍

I heard e6000 was good for many things. My tub drain wasn't installed properly. It was loose bopping up and down and the putty came out. The drain, although still connected to the drain pipe, would move up/down and most of the water was flowing out of the hole in the tub instead of the drain. So... because of the flexibility, I decided to put gobs of E6000 around it instead of traditional caulk. The self leveling may present a problem though. Fingers crossed it works. I guess I'll know in a few days how well it worked (or didn't work). It's cheaper than a plumber! LOL!

[@valeriejoy11]

is it strong enough to glue a piece of wood that split along the side? I have a wooden outdoor chair that this happened to on both arms and wondered about C clamping after inserting this glue in the split

[@kevinbaker2470]

Use wood glue and clamps. This stuff contracts and wouldn't make a great repair.

[@mrsbond9743]

I want to put rhinestones on my plastic wheel covers will this glue stick to that in clear

[@Tredal4]

I love using my metal ended clay sculpting tools to manipulate e6000. Works amazing to move it how I want and easily wipes off of my tools so I don’t get any buildup

[@playstation2bigs]

Can I use it to join rubber ? Car Wiper blade

[@MakerHighSchool]

You could use it on rubber, but if you're looking to fix a wiper blade, it might be more cost effective to just buy a new blade. If you decide to go ahead, remember that it shrinks. I'd suggest doing two applications. Once the first dries, fill in the rest after the shrinking. Hope that helps!

[@2010seajay]

Thank you. I didn’t know it was self leveling. I kept trying to spread it out but then it would dry too quickly.

[@MakerHighSchool]

Happy it was helpful!
