This is why you need to be careful with E6000 fumes!!!!!

I used E6000 (outside, and with a mask!) to glue down a skin top piece on a wig I’m working on, instead of my normal UHU glue, because I really wanted the flexibility you get from using E6000 for my own physical comfort. I didn’t put anything in between the wig and the foam head because I knew I wouldn’t actually be getting glue on the foam.

Anyway, I left it outside to cure for 24 hours and upon further checking, the fumes were trapped a bit due to there being no air circulation where the skin top piece was, and this caused the foam to melt as pictured.

I routinely see people using E6000 inside without a mask and just complaining that “it smells”. This is a good example of how toxic it can actually get.

E6000 will in fact glue nearly anything to nearly anything and dry flexibly, but it is an absolute toxic nightmare chemical. E6000 is known to cause anything from short term vomiting due to acute toxicity to literally cancer if you’re overly exposed. Please! Read the safety sheets! Minimize your exposure! Don’t work with it without a respirator! If you can use anything else that’s less toxic, use something else that’s less toxic! E6000 should be reserved only for when you actually need its properties and even then should be treated like the terrifying chemical death generator it is. Those fumes are the smell of brain cell death and poison. The headache you get from it is from the cell damage it is causing. Don’t listen to crafters online who rhinestone with entire tubes of this in their living rooms! This is A SCARY FREAKING SUBSTANCE!

I’m worried in particular about how much the cosplay community jumps to e6000 over literally anything else without realizing that while it’s sold next to delightfully non toxic substances like tacky glue and UHU all purpose, this glue is extremely toxic and will in fact hurt you. Please make sure you think before you use this and warn your friends how scary it is!

Hey, fellow cane users and DIYers!

What’s the best thing to glue gems onto a cane with?

It’s an aluminum surface (that I think has been hydro dipped?), and there are some plastic bits too that I might like to bedazzle in the future.

I tried using E6000, but surprisingly, it didn’t last long.

The gems just kinda peel off and get knocked off very easily. I think this might have to do with the elasticity of the glue? Not sure.

Any tips?

For all the crafty people out there, have you ever wondered how long it takes for E6000 to dry?

E6000 adhesive takes around 24 hours to fully dry and cure. The curing process starts immediately after the adhesive is applied, however it can take up to 24 hours for the adhesive to reach its maximum bond strength. E6000 is a versatile and waterproof glue that works well on many materials such as wood, fabric, metal, glass and more.

Generally, E6000 Adhesive Takes 24 Hours to Fully Cure And Set, But May Be Touch Dry in 1-2 Hours Depending on the Amount of Adhesive Applied And Atmospheric Conditions Such As Temperature And Humidity.

"Dry flat."

Dry flat? Dry flat?! Fabric glue, buddy, listen. These are F and G cup bras we are betwinklyfying here. Flat is not an option that is or will ever be achievable.
