]]> Comment on Can I use 'superglue' – Cyanoacrylate adhesive – to attach glass and plastic beads to a metal base ? by zbdblues http://the-bead-attic.com/bead-talk/can-i-use-superglue-cyanoacrylate-adhesive-to-attach-glass-and-plastic-beads-to-a-metal-base.php/comment-page-1#comment-1555 zbdblues Thu, 11 Mar 2010 05:54:42 +0000 http://the-bead-attic.com/bead-talk/can-i-use-superglue-cyanoacrylate-adhesive-to-attach-glass-and-plastic-beads-to-a-metal-base.php#comment-1555 I think you can get superglue glass, made especially for gluing glass or transparrent items. The secret to superglue by the way is one small drop per square inch, don't go spreading it all over the surface.. In the case of glass beads you would just need a tiny drop per bead.

You can look in the yellow pages of your phone book or online and find a dealer who appraises old jewelry or you could find an antiques dealer who might be able to tell you it's value. Just be sure it's someone reputable who won't rip you off. Good Luck!! You might have two options.

If you have access to a tumbler, try to buy grit blasting material of a grade that is shot through a small air polisher / grit blaster. The stuff is usually aluminium oxide and should be suitable.
