Sticky Recommendations

I have a pair of nekkid hairsticks that I got from FMG. I think they're
bone, but they could be wood. At any rate, they're some sort of porous
material and not plastic. They have a hole drilled into the wide end to
accept a bit of wire -- to put beads on, of course. :-)

What sort of glue would you recommend for glueing a head pin (Head in)
into the hole in the hairstick, and at least a single bead? I have
EP6000, Hypocement, and the usual list of crafty glues on hand...

I don't recommend a headpin. Get something that's stronger than a
regular headpin. E6000 works great. (Headpins of the sort used to
make earrings will definitely bend.)

Well, I'm only going to put one round and one or two disc-shaped beads
on the end of the stick itself, form a loop and hang danglies from it.
Consequently, I'll need to use something that's bendable, and the head
on a headpin gives more surface for the glue to adhere to.

FMG (and others) sell another type of finding that's better suited for your
loop. It's called a screw-eye or up-eye. They're on page 467 of the big
2002-2003 catalog, items U-X. It just depends on how large the hole in your
hairstick is. I've used them to bake right into polymer clay pendants.
They're threaded so they'll give you a better grip with the cement. I'm
partial to Hypotube, but E-6000 works great too.

Use E6000, but be sure to use outside or use inside with plenty of ventilation.
