Basic Tips for Good DIY

Make sure your work surface is clear of rubbish, non-necessary items and clean of any dust or dirt. Nothing is worse than getting glue bonded to something other than what you intended.

Read all the instructions thoroughly before using. This is a no-brainer. You don’t want to get to a very difficult part of the bonding process and realise you haven’t got anything to hold the items together, other than using your hands for several hours.

And stick to the instructions- they are there for a reason, to help you get the best results for all of your projects...

For mending or creating jewellery we suggest Araldite^® Crystal: http://www.beadinggem.com/
