GOOD GLUEA good all-around glue for gluing bails, pin backs, bell caps, etc. is Elmer's Stix-all. It is non toxic, non flammable, flexible and strong, as well as impact resistant. While it sets up fast, complete curing takes 4 hours. Elmers Stix-all can be purchased at most gem shops, hardware and variety stores. Source "Golden Spike News |
DENTAL FLOSSWhen testing the fit of stone in a bezel, it's all too easy to get it stuck. Often the only way to free it is to drill a hole in the bottom and push it out with a needle. To avoid this, lay a piece of dental floss over the top before you press the stone in. Then just pull on the string to remove the stone. |
