What is watchmaker's cement? Where can I get it in the UK?
My wife is looking for a cement to reattach lose stones to metal
settings on costume jewellery. She's read of "watchmaker's cement" but the local jeweller and model shop haven't heard of it. Could someone please tell me what sort of substance this is and where I might find it in the UK. Thanks. |

Use two part epoxy found at most hardware stores. I am sure someone in UK
carries it. Roxan "Typo" wrote in message ... My wife is looking for a cement to reattach lose stones to metal settings on costume jewellery.

your best bet is 2 part epoxy araldite heat cured,
use only a very small amount as when it cures hot it will flow and become clear. |

I bought some years ago from Micro Mark and have yet to use it, so cannot
comment on its performance. MicroMark still carries it. Cheers, Max Bryant "Typo" wrote in message ... My wife is looking for a cement to reattach lose stones to metal settings on costume jewellery.

Thank you to everyone who contributed to this thread. You've been a
great help. I've managed to find GS Hypo Cement from a number of suppliers in the UK and will probably be ordering from jillybeads.co.uk (Typo) wrote in message . ..
