I would like to use some Dymax glue, I went to their web site and there are so many to choose from. I tried to call and it is too late in the day. Anyone using Dymax glue, which one are you using. I saw some in the archives and they do not list them anymore. Anyone?
Thanks.............Claudia

Hi Avery,
Well, I want to glue some pendants, I have had success with earrings, but the pendants aren't holding. I read to rough up the glass and findings. I would just love to have the time to learn how to silver solder and not glue. I did not want to start another thread on glues. The dymax that you used is not listed anymore. Maybe if I call, they do have a few muti cure ones. I just wanted to know if anyone has recently ordered, they have soooo much.. Maybe their 628 with 501-e activator? Moulton Avery said that he had used that, so I was hoping on feed back.
I sent the grant off and am signed up for June. I already need a vacation......Life is busy.......Claudia

Hi Claudia...
I've used Dymax 628 for 4 years now and have had no problems w/ metal to glass. If it is applied right, the metal will tear before the bond breaks. It will cure with uv light or an activator. I use the wipe on activator most often. It does have a shelf life...I buy it in a hypodermic container(30ml) and that lasts me for the year. The activator is purchased seperately.(501-A)
Dewey Associates are very helpful...there may be advances that I am not aware of...I was planning to ask the next time I ordered.
good luck...post your results

Jim,
Thank you for your reply. I called Pete Dewey this morning. I told him I had heard of 628 with 501-e activator. He then suggested that I use 621 with 535A activator, as I will not be using UV light. He was very nice and I will call again when I recieve it if I have any questions. I will post after I use it for a while. They have so many products it is too confusing to not call and ask for advice.............Claudia

glue color
Just curious, does this Dynamax glue with activator cure clear or does it yellow in time? I have been searching the archives to figure out which glue is the best for opaque glass to metal applications and I'll admit to being a bit confused by the many options. 
I want a strong bond, not UV dependant (because of opacity) which cures to clear (for use with transparents at times). Do you feel the solution of 621 with 535A activator will do that?
Thanks very much.
