    Yes, and they aren't kidding! Unfortunately, it turns into a foam
    when air gets to it, and starts expanding..but then doesn't stop
    expanding for some time. It drips in the mean time, and then the
    drips start to expand. Quite the little mess. I tried it on a
    cabinet, and it took a good long time to sand the stuff off. I
    couldn't pry it off of my hands for a week. Ai yi yi....but
    yeah....once bonded, its not going anywhere. I have never risked it
    on jewelry. I find it terrifying. 

    Lisa, (Now the glue nightmares will start again....shudder.....lol)
