How to use it on clothes, fabric, trim, rhinestones, and so many more things. Just make sure you don't use it on Styrofoam. Buy it anywhere from walmart to home depot. If you want colors, check out michals and hobby lobby. It's flexible, stretchy and totally waterproof.

I always get those dollar tree application bottles with the screw top, then transfer the whole new tube into the applicator bottle.
I find it doesn't take long for the metal tube to crack somewhere and you have e6000 everywhere you don't want it and the rest is trashed.
This way, it never plugs up because I keep it stored upside down in my tray, when it gets low, I just put it right side up and refill.
It's nice because the application tip makes for knowing exactly where and how much you are applying.
All my bottles are clearly marked with what they are.
I do this with my epoxies that come in big metal tubes too!
Makes things so much easier and cleaner
Every time I've tried using those, the plastic ends up warping? I bought them online, but I'll try the ones from dollar tree. They might be made with different polymers that won't react to the glue. Great tip. Thanks for sharing!
Great Idea! Thank you :)
To keep glue from spurting out when the cap is opened, pinch the tube as if you are trying to make it go back to its original shape. This creates a bit of a vacuum and pulls the glue back in. As soon as it's in, put the cap back on, and you'll have to give the tube a little squeeze before any comes out the next time. This is really good and inexpensive adhesive!
Great tip. I'll give it a try!
Excellent review, I am a mechanical engineer and plan to use this glue for a much more industrial application but I was very impressed with how well you presented and how thorough you were, good job and thank you!
Thank you for commenting and saying such nice things. I really do love this stuff. I wish I had more time to make videos, but I always try to double check my information, because I want to be someone people can trust when it comes to my videos. Plus, I really love this stuff.
I took a look at your channel and subscribed. Great stuff! You might also like some of the videos from Project Farm. He's one of the guys I subscribed to. He has things like strength tests for glues, duct tape and a bunch of other stuff. I really like how he has an "even playing field" for his comparisons, and I really appreciate his impact tests. I think you'll enjoy his content. (I don't know him or anything. Just like recommending other channels I think people might enjoy)
Pro tip 2: use old e6000 caps to make custom applicator tips. I cut a 90 degree opening into the cap so it can be applied to thin edges on plexiglass. Without the custom tip its hard to apply a bead along that thin edge. Don't do this if you don't have an extra cap or you won't have one to close the e6000.
Great tip thank you
Then you can apply it like a tube of caulk! Thats a great idea! Thanks!
Thank you for being so thorough in your explanations, I've been looking for videos like this.
Thanks for letting me know. I have the next batch written,. Now I just have to film, edit, upload, subtitle...ugh. lol
This is a great introduction to E6000! I wish I had known about this sooner!
Hey, I know you! 😄 I honestly love this stuff. Thanks for the compliment, btw. Hopefully I can share more stuff soon, but glad this is helpful to you in the meantime. 👍
I've been using this for YEARS and never realized there was a black version of E6000 glue. Cool. Thanks for the info.
This was a super thorough video! I appreciated all the information!
Thank you 😊
You totally cleared up some issues I had with using the glue previously (I made a mess). Using the corner of a bag to dispense it in a more controlled way is such a good idea! Such a tiny amount can end up everywhere. Going to try using a sandwich bag today, thanks for the tip 😀
You are so welcome! I hope it works well for you.
I am so glad you mentioned about the Styrofoam!! I was just getting ready to glue something to form board and now I will be very sure to test it first!
I wonder if the paper on the large surfaces wouldn’t help keep the “innards” from being an issue? Maybe it would be sufficient to dig out the foam around each of the edges and fold over the paper to give you surfaces to adhere mating edges? I’m probably making it more of a pain than it needs to be (🤪) , sorry!
Your video is the only one that makes sense to me so far. Well done!👍
Thanks for the feedback. Much appreciated!
Thank you I needed that review♥️
This is a great video and extremely helpful! You're doing an excellent job on these thank you very much!
Aw, thanks! I'm happy people are getting use out of them. Thanks for the comment!
@@MakerHighSchoolReal talent, helpfulness and enthusiasm should definitely be praised! And you have it in spades!
Now THIS is a well made and succinct video with appropriate sections and section titles.
Aw, thanks! Yeah, turning on chapters literally cut my ad revenue in half, which is why a lot of people went back to the old format. Once I get back to uploading, I may go back and change it for a bit to help my newer videos get traction, but I'm on team, "Cut to the chase" as well. 😆
@@MakerHighSchool Wow, that's a "WTF Google" moment. But then I wouldn't trust Google if they paid me to trust them.
Thanks very much for the great video! I will be adding some of this to my workshop 👍😊
This is exactly what I was looking for. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
Happy it was helpful
I recently learned about E6000 and a light bulb lit in my brain wondering if it's waterproof when I found your video. I think this will be perfect to repair some new bowling shoes where the sole is coming loose (I wondered why I got such a good deal on them - lol). You did a great job here. Thanks so much for sharing! 😀
Anytime! If it doesn't work you can also try barge cement (which was made specifically for shoe repair). If it doesn't work, let me know and I'll move the barge cement up in the list of videos to make.
I use this Glue all the time. At work I repair anything broken, from wood to plastic to metal. I bought some for home use too. It does have a weird smell for a few days until fully cured. And sometimes the cap glues itself on, and I need pliers to get the cap off. This glue is a must have for any handyman. The places I wouldn't use it is food/drink containers, Very hot surfaces like mufflers or engines.
I bought the new version that's supposed to have no smell. We'll see how it works.
Also, I read on instructables that if you use vasoline on the threads, it repels the glue. Seems to work pretty well. Found that after I made the video (of course).
I'm trying to decide what to make the next batch of videos of. I'm thinking contact cement and two part epoxy for sure. Any suggestions are welcome
Great video! Thanks for sharing your tips and tricks!
Thank you for saying so. Makes it worth it to hear that!
Thanks for the tips! Great video!
Thank you! Thank you! Three bags full! (Liked and Subscribed)
Very informative, no time-wasting "chat," but very personable. I appreciate the demonstrations.
One note: "Photo" often refers to sunlight exposure, so "photo safe" probably means this adhesive will not fail if exposed to sunlight. Some substrates and adhesives yellow or become brittle in sunlight.
Thanks for the compliments! In terms of glue, it usually means it wont react with the chemicals that are used (or WERE used) in the old form of photo processing.
I love your description, tho. Science, ftw!
Thank you BOTH for the comments regarding “photo” … will definitely delve further into the claims on adhesives as I work with new (to me) materials!!!
I use syringes with filling needle (dull, but angled). I poke it right thru the tube, draw up a syringe full. The little hole in the tube seals up on it's own, and as long as you're careful not to get air in it won't cure, and the syringe controls the flow perfectly.
Interesting! I'll give it a try. 👍
Ooohh that might solve my problem, too many times the glue hardens in the opening but below is fine, maybe this will let me extract it and finish the rest of the glue!😊
Thanks I just started using e6000 and your video was very helpful! 😊
Awesome! I'm currently working on one about gorilla glue. Just have to edit and do voice over. 👍
Great demonstration!!!
Very informative!!
Thanks so much!
The industrial spec sheet shows the clear is both a bit stronger and the most elastic, over 1100% to failure! White and black are still over 1000% and nearly as strong. The newest variation touted as zero solvents however looks to be a very different material, only 300% elongation. The UV resistant form also is hard to find in small tubes. The black might suffice as UV tolerant, as the light won't penetrate beyond the surface layer.
Glue Boogers. Perfect name for that excess dried glue residue!
Thanks!
Booger glue- I call the stuff that sticks credit cards to paper when they mail them! Lol
Excellent, informative video. Will definitely look at your other ones.Thanks.
Glad to hear it. I am working on new content. Hope to have it up after the holidays.
Thank you. This was a fantastic video.
I need plyers too and I use a toothpick to open the hole. I don't mind doing it that way bc I don't loose any glue!
Can we use it for filling seams in eva foam props?
Great video, thanks for all the information
Thanks for watching and commenting!
Great vid miss!!!! I just bought some and I loved it thank you keep them vids coming I’m subscribing to your channel right now lol I am thank you once again
Thank you so much! Sorry for taking so long to respond, but I've been using every spare minute on the gorilla glue video. Comments like these keep me going.
A little Vaseline on the tip of the applicator before you replace the lid helps too in case you forget to clean the tip.
I've filmed a short about this. I just need to edit it and get it up.
You are a great at voice overs, editing, and humor.
Unfortunately I don't have interest in most of your topics, but this was very useful for my project (bonding fabrics to make waterproof clothing)
Hope it lasts. I don't want to get into ultrasonic welding :)
Thanks for the compliments. I know my content is of interest to everyone, but glad you found this one useful. It's pretty sturdy stuff, so hopefully it will work for what you need.
I really appreciated this informative video. Thanks a bunch.
Thank you for saying so!
Tyvm for this clear and to the point vid😃
You're so welcome! Thank you for commenting. You have no idea how much it helps!
Can I use this clear product to reattach vinyl tear (approx. 2 inches) onto couch?
You could... but I'd suggest checking out tear aid (Type B, NOT type A) I think it would do a way better job. There are videos here on UA-cam explaining how it works. It's about $10 retail. I remember buying it at Lowe's at couple years ago, so I would think they still carry it in store. If it were, say, 1/4 inch, not a big difference...but something that size, I'd go with the kit.
Hope that was helpful!
If you have trouble with the cap sticking, just rub some petroleum jelly around the threads, no more stuck cap. Hope that helps.
I had someone else comment that last year, too. Excellent tip! Wish I could go back and include it in the video.
I just found this channel and watch some of your videos
IT'S AMAZING, FULL OF INFORMATION AND FUN YOU GOT A SUBSCRIBER FROM INDIA 😀👍👍👍
Thank you. I hope you enjoy them!
This was a very, very good video. Thank you.
Aw, thanks for the compliment!
If the E6000 won’t stop oozing out, squeeze the tube in the middle/end in the oppposite direction you squeezed at first. It will create a vacuum and suck the glue back in.
Nice! I'll give it a try!
"It coming and its not stopping..." That's what she said! 😂
was going to say the same thing lol. "It will stop eventually"
That's what she said af
Channel name I thought somebody was huffing
Wonderfully informative video! Thank you thank you!
Thanks for the compliment!
Great video btw! Subscribed!
Thanks! I really appreciate that. Do many people get your username? I was introduced to Fishbone when my parents dragged me to Back To the Beach (or whatever that was called) back when I was little.
All I kept thinking was how are these obviously talented people stuck in this crap movie? LOL
Vaseline around the neck before capping.
Interesting idea. Pinned so other people can see it.
is the dry time 4 hours for most things? im gluing hard plastic on hard plastic and im wondering how long it will take to be on for good
I would leave it overnight just to be sure. 👍
dylan young have you tried this glue on wood? I was wondering how strong it is? Can it repair a neck of a banjo that will get tension?
Luke West works perfect with wood in my case. I made my vanity with this stuff , i glued down the mirror on the wood . Worked amazing! & I’ve had it for over a year
Thank you so much for this 😅
Happy it was helpful!
I found that this works well with shoe repair, so I'm going to try it and your video showed the glue in action, thx much
So happy for found it helpful. Thanks for saying so!
I had to remove a barrel clasp from 1 side of a satin rattail braided bracelet I was working on cause I had to redo the bracelet & I don't know how to take the E6000 glue out of the clasp. Can you help me? Is there anything I can use to get it out? I have been letting it soak in dish soap & water for hours & it's not working.
I'd try acetone, paint thinner or nail polish remover, if it's just the metal. Those things will all discolor fabric. It's got a similar adhesive property to super glue, so that should work. Good luck!
soak in goo gone
@@karenvossen4668 goo gone has orange oil in it, which could stain the rattail. I'd swatch it first. Thanks for helping.
you might want to try (Goo gone) or Goof Off sold at Home Depot... let it soak in that for a bit
i used some to fill side wall cracks in atv tires after reading about someone who fixed their snowmobile track and finished the season with it.
Nice! I love how it helps to save money like that. 👍
That implies that it's a RTV sealant.

@@jkg6211 This is a great thread. Love all the info everyone is adding on this video.
I never knew this was flexible! This information would have saved my mucho $$$$
Great review. Thank you.
Thanks for saying that!
Thanks for the review! Quick question, would this work for faux leather? I’m making a Loki costume :)
I would think so. I'd try it on a scrap just to make sure there isn't a chemical reaction. Sometimes they use formaldehyde so better safe than sorry.
Can E-6000 glue be used as an adhesive for applying cell phone screens?
I've never repaired a cell phone screen, so I'm not an expert.
Having said that, assuming you are talking about the actual glass with the components (and not a screen protector) I did some quick research online and here's my best guess: Yes.
I think it would be a great option since it's safe for electronics, wont corrode with the heat given off by the battery, and would add a minor cushioning effect if someone dropped the phone because of its flexibility.
Please let me know how it goes!
Use B-7000 for cell phones. E-6000 is harder to work with and less precise to apply. E-6000 is a bit too strong for cell phone screens. We use E-6000 for laptop hinges and moveable joints or wherever flexibility is needed.
@@electronicsoverhaul Thank you so much for chiming in. Didn't get a notification you commented, but just got asked this question again. I relayed your advice to the new commenter. Seriously appreciate the assist.
@@electronicsoverhaul thx for da info
this is a really well made review video. i got all the information i wanted and then some, and i'm not usually generous on my comments.
Well, I appreciate it. Thank you so much!
Excellent video. Thank you
Try putting Vaseline in the nozzle to keep the glue from sticking so bad.
I literally read the cancer warning on the back of the package and now i'm scared to use it LOL I have all the windows and the fan running because i'm so paranoid
You only really need to worry if you have prolonged exposure in an ventilated area. Otherwise, its sounds like you're doing the right thing. You should be fine. 👍
@@MakerHighSchool in an ventilated area??
Amanda, you SHOULD be paranoid!
E6000 is VERY nasty stuff before it cures.
@@MakerHighSchool I think you mean "non ventilated".
@r laze A dust mask isn't enough. You need a 3M type respirator and one of the cartridges rated for fumes/organic vapors. This is especially true if ventilation is less than stellar. If you can smell it, you're not protected.
Good info, thanks
Glad it helped!
Great info tfs
would this work with crocodile teeth on a leather croc band?
I would think so, since enamel is similar to porcelain. You might have to lightly sand where you're attaching them, since the flexibility of the leather might strain the bond on a smooth surface. Let me know how it goes!
MakerHigh honestly I didn't think about sanding the surface, yea I'll let you know, just waiting fo my Gator teeths.
Please do. I'm interested to hear. 👍
I was just thinking about you today. How did your experiment go?
5:31 nomnomnomnom :)
😂😂😂
Thank you for this
Pleased you found it helpful!
Nice video. I may use this to make my glitter drawer knobs.
THIS STUFF SMELLS VERY BAB...JUST OPEN THE TUBE AND THE HOUSE STINKS ALL DAY
Super informative. Lovely nails!
Thank you and thank you!
I love it ..it will help me a lot 😘😘😘thanks
Pleased to hear that. 👍
Excellent video thanks
Thanks for comment. Glad you think so!
Very helpful. Thanks
Thanks for commenting.
thank you, very great information
Again, thank you!
E6000 works better than any tent seam sealer i have ever used...
It needs to be thinned down with Klean Strip Xylene (Home Depot) to a maple syrup consistency.
I bought one of those empty quart cans and made a half batch stays liquefied in a container.
Buy a pack of those cheap thin metal handle touch up brushes and go at it.
Make sure you do this in a well ventilated area.
The stuff will dry fast and last?
Well put it this way, i have a tent that has been sealed for eight years and still looks like it did the day i applied it.
I bring one of the tiny tubes in my pack in case i get a leak or i need to patch something, i bring a length of rip stop fabric for rips or holes, apply some E6000 and it holds tight.
nice tutorial❤️❤️
Thank you for saying so!
Thank you very much !!
Thank you for watching and commenting!
hey, can it be removed easy, if needed, from rubber after it cures? thx
Not really. There are solvents you can use to remove it, but it might damage the rubber. If you're looking for temporary, you might consider something like contact cement or caulk, but the bond won't be as strong. Hope that helps. 👍
thank you!
useful tutorial and review in one. best one on this stuff right now. appreciate it.
might try to SEO yourself into patch, clothing territory. because finding this with searches on that front took way too long. :')
Thanks for the compliments and advice. I'll look into it. 👍
I love you and your videos!! Thank you so much for your help!!! I'm totally inspired. I'm going to use the glue to add Rhinestones to a hat.
Awesome! Let me know how it goes!
Is this a good glue to use to make wooden, ivory rings with reconstituted stone please? I’m having a challenging time keeping my rings sticking together. Thanks for yr help.
Thank you so so much for this review it was excellent. I think you did a great job. The warnings on the labels made me look again at people like me who have sensitive skin but enjoy crafts using glue and the warnings state that we should avoid getting it on our skin and use a respirator. "This product can expose you to chemicals including perchloroethylene which is known to the State of California to cause cancer." Tested on animals at high doses. Please be aware.
Thanks a billion.
Sure! Glad it was helpful.
Hi Lori! Thank you for sharing this video. I was wondering would this be good to use on foam (like the craft foam sheets)? I am trying to find a glue that would work best for that type of material. Any tips would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!
Hi Adriana! I usually use contact cement for craft foam. It tends to give me a really good bond while staying flexible after it dries. (I'm planning on doing a video about it when I get a chance to start uploading again.) It doesn't warp the foam, and it's less expensive than the E6000 per oz.
You can also give rubber cement a try. You can get the Elmer's brand at office depot for around $3.50. You don't have to worry as much about ventilation with this one, and if you want to pull something off after it dries, it's easy to pull the glue off.
Hope that helps!
Hi, will this stuff work good to glue fabric to a compression shirt? If not do you know what is good for that? Thank s
Thank you
No, thank you! 😁
Thanks!
You are most welcome!
Great video, and very humorous!! Thanks for the tips! Yes! It DOES keep coming! Oh so scary when you think it's just never going to stop!! Mine did not come with a screw on top so I had to think quickly. I ended up shoving plumbers tape over it to MAKE IT STOOOOOOPPPPPPPPP!!!!
Rotfl. You feel my pain!🤣
Great video Lori. I love this glue and have used it for years. That said, I've not used it for glueing fabric to fabric. Can you tell me if you think it could be used to glue Snugtex Waistband Belting (not sure what the base material is) in small pcs to inside of pants waistbands?
Hi, Mike! Yes, it's possible. You'd have to be careful applying it, because depending on where you put it, if there's too much or too little, you going to have tugging and puckering. Hope that helps. If not, let me know. (You might want to do a separate comment since sometimes it doesn't alert me to replies).
Can I use this to my 6.5" car speakers rubber surround ?
You have a very nice voice. Thanks for the video.
Thank you. I just did a bunch of voices in the Rune 2 video game expansion, which is why I've been so busy!
Great video thank you! Quick question i recently bought my toddler shoes that have chunky glitter all over but the glitter flakes off i guess it has no sealer.. Do you think E6000 would work okay as a sealer? Mod podge?
Thanks!
If it were me, I'd try it with dishwasher safe mod podge. I think the e6000 would be hard to spread in an even layer. Let me know how it goes. 👍
is it strong enough to glue a piece of wood that split along the side? I have a wooden outdoor chair that this happened to on both arms and wondered about C clamping after inserting this glue in the split
Use wood glue and clamps. This stuff contracts and wouldn't make a great repair.
COOL VID
Thanks! And yeah, the smell isn't pleasant.
Would this be a good choice for attaching lace to converse? I am trying to find a good fabric glue that is water resistant but will not look like crap when used to apply lace.
I think it's a great choice. Since its waterproof, you dont have to worry when it rains or when you have to wash them. I'd use the toothpick method, and go slowly. They should turn out great!
Ideally, if your lace was cotton with no polyester or rayon, you could even use fusible webbing, but most lace is made with it, currently. If you used the iron on it, it would melt.
Let me know how it goes. 👍
Can you use this to seal seams on a backpack strap, where it's sewn into the back of the pack, to seal where the thread is used?
If I'm understanding you correctly, then yes. Totally.
Thanks
Sure! Glad it was helpful. Like that Mandy's your avatar. 👍
Can you use it as a substitute for wood glue
I was thinking shall I get some of this E6000 glue, the first video I found, I'm supersold!
thank you.
You're welcome! Glad I was useful.
hi! quick question, can I use it to glue my bedsheets together to make them warmer? thanks!
You can use this to glue them together. No idea if that will make them warmer. 😄
i need to glue fabric to vinyl on a chair permanently. im looking to glue the fabric down at the seams of a vinyl covered chair, then add piping over it. will this work? im afrid that "scooching" or wriggling and contant use of the chair will break the bond. if not, any suggestions?
I'm thinking this is probably going to be your best bet. Most other glues aren't going to have the give and would crack with repeated use.
I'd take a fine grit sandpaper to the areas you're applying it to so it gives the glue more to grab onto.
The only other glue I could suggest would be barge cement (in the yellow and red can) but if you're only doing one chair, you'll pay for a lot you wont be using.
Hope that helps.
Pls which is preferable to use on a white or milk fabric and won’t leave a stain much later, cos the one I used last year the fabric is All orange on the spot I applied it.
Sounds like it has a reaction to the dye. I'd say try clear? What kind of fabric are you trying to glue?
