Gluing in Rhinestones?
Posted by Anonymous on Saturday, December 11, 2004 12:29 PM
I am overhauling badger4life's 2025. On one of the rhinestones were missing, so I ordered one. Now it is here, now how do you glue (or wha type to use)it in?


I also converted the smoke unit, now it smokes like the dickens!!!!![:D][:D][:p][:0]

I use to custom paint brass engines and this worked good for me.
Ist put a little spit on you index finger. Put a dab of elmers glue in the dimple where you want the jewel to go. Now take you finger and mount the gem.
The white color of the glue will turn clear when it dries, so don;t fret it looking ugly when it is wet.

would you believe it? I used a tiny dab of epoxy in the "dimble". Staying in great.

When I first saw this I thought Jerry was going to become a country western singer.[:D]
