    Default glueing rhinestones

    I want to glue some rhinestones to the heel of some clear shoes. What sort of glue should I use? I dont want the glue to show all over the shoes and im not sure what will make it stick to the plastic heel?

    There are clear expoxy options too. They bond plastics, ceramic, metal, wood and glass... You have the option of drying/setting times too. As low as 1 minute or as high as an hour. You can get them from home depot or any hardware store.

    I use them to bond my sculptures together and have used them to adhere rhinestones to the surfaces of my sculpture as well. Works perfectly and dries clear.

    i use the glue that comes with fake nails(by revlon), it works for everything way better than any specialty glues weve ever bought and it's clear.

    ^^For a straight line, I would tape down a piece of cardboard as a guide. Tape it so the edge is exactly parallel next to the line you want to create in stones. This way there is a raised edge to push the stones against and you wont have to worry about a shaky hand!

    I like E6000 glue the best for that stuff, but I might try some gorilla glue for a heel that just came off (after I'd E6000 it.) But it works great for rhinestones and sequins on clothes because it's machine washable and doesn't come off.
