    It is good for some things but I can't thing of any thing, in the
    jewelry line that it could be used for. it is the toughest glue on
    earth to remove when set or just wet. the reaction that makes it set
    is base partly on the moisture in the air makes it foamy so it
    expands. The amount depending on the glue to moisture ratio. And
    other things in the realm of the black arts. 

    Here is a story posted on another site about the Gorilla Glue.

    I blame the dog owners not the glue, we have more warning on every
    container and box about the dangers of things. 

    It is not a good wood working glue, as the mess it creates over the
    course of time it drys, it will grow. 

    It does work on metals, concrete, glass, tile, stone wood ect. but
    there are many other better products to use. 

    A good hardware/marine type glue single part that I have been using
    is Multi-Grip http://www.beacon1.com

    It is clear and doesn't expand out of the joint as much as it sets
    up. They web site has good info on craft type glues. 

    Here is another site for most of the sticky problems in
    life.http://www.thistothat.com

    Glen, been there, glue it and sometimes stuck to it!
