Question 1

how quickly does this glue dry?  within 15mins?

Accepted Answer

Yes, it's great.  I usually buy Fabritac, same people supply it Beacon Adhesives.   It is instant grab.  Fabritak has a little more give before it dries.   I use the 3 in l for everything, from paper, to fabric, to metal and it works.   I get through a lot of it because I do a lot of crafting.   These two bottles were the cheapest I could find so good value really.   I know the glue is expensive compared to some other glues but you get what you pay for.  Is that of any help to you?   Mary

Question 2

would this be suitable for sticking down seashells and pebals? please help

Accepted Answer

I've used it on small pebbles when making a miniature & it was fine but have no idea about seashells. I've found it works on almost everything I've tried, so is likely to work. Don't use too much & hold them in position for a short while until the glue becomes tacky. I've found Beacon 3 in 1 usually works,  when even super glue doesn't.

Question 3

Can you advise if the glue is still flexible after it dries or does it go hard like a glue gun?

Accepted Answer

No, this is more or less instant grab glue, ideal for paper and fabric crafting.  Why I like it is because it does not bleed through the paper and is not lumpy.   It is useful too for some metals, like jewellery and you don't need as much of it as a glue gun.  It dries clear and I prefer this and Fabritac (made by Beacon) to any other glue that I use.   There is a little more room for movement with Fabritac.    When you say flexible, what are you hoping to glue?  Mary

Question 4

Hi anyone know if it with stick crystal to metal ?? X

Accepted Answer

Hi Yes we have used this to stick crystals to ceramic, card, metal and other materials. It's very good and easy to use. I don't know if the type of metal may determine how well it sticks?  I couldn't see why it wouldn't work tbh, as it's very strong.  Hope this helps.
