I have not been able to find the perfect way to bond a silver bail to the back of a fused glass pendant. Can someone suggest a type of glue or epoxy that works best for them? I have been using 2-part epoxy but I've noticed that it doesn't take too much force to separate it from the glass. Any suggestions are greatly appreciate. Thanks in advance!

Don't know about perfect, but E6000 gets recommended a lot. Trick with that is to leave it alone for 24 hours. (sets quicker than that) silicone is also highly recommended. Good luck.

Laura,
I had the same problem with pendants. I found that the earrings worked just fine with the 2 part epoxys. For the pendants I have changed to Dymax 621. I have been very pleased with it. I use an activator with it 535-A. I got my glue from Dewey Associates, 1-800-448-2306.
They will not come apart and they set up fast. I have to be careful to get them right the first time. Claudia
