F-6000 Glue Clear – Industrial Strength Adhesive
(Direct Bead Supply House Brand)
F-6000 Clear is our house-brand industrial-strength adhesive, formulated to perform exactly the same as E-6000. Trusted by jewelry makers, crafters, and DIY professionals, F-6000 delivers a crystal-clear finish, long-lasting durability, and flexible strength for projects that need to hold up over time.
This is the adhesive we use, stock, and recommend—because it works.
