Raphael,

    I used E6000 for a long while believing it to be the best (use it
    only fresh out of the tube to meticulously clean surfaces and do not
    move once positioned), only to have some of my own fused glass
    earrings, which were attached with fresh straight out of the tube
    glue, come apart in the shower. 

    I now use Loctite E30CL - Hysol epoxy adhesive, available from
    Mc.MasterCarr. Since it comes in a rigid tube you need the gun to
    dispense the glue with too - not especially cheap but it's a one time
    deal. 

Hope that is of some help
Sadie
