What is the jewelers cement used for? Setting stones? Where do you get that? Jim

Jim,

Many places carry it and seem's they all charge a different price for the same thing. Jeweler's use it for setting stones, watch crystals, etc. My 1st. floor windows in the Merchants row kits and a lot of My other buildings have real glass from Ngineering and I use the Hypo for that also...been using it quite a few yrs. now and really like it's strength, etc.....there is a learning curve though, I believe I have that part mastered....a little bit goes a long way. All the miniature Truck/Car models I make, all the window glazing is held in place with it also, some also are real glass:

Take Care! Big Smile

BTW:The windows in the fix-it plumbing store is real glass...doing the rest of them at the work bench. The Santa Fe sign was assembled and mounted to roof using the Hypo, that roof is removeable, just have to unplug it for the lights, simple to do.
