I work mainly with seed beads. I started using this glue when I was stringing beads, usually for added insurance. I've been weaving (off-loom) seeds (sizes 15-8 aught) now for the past couple of years (I find weaving much more rewarding/versital/addictive) and I've used this glue for awhile now; my first tube lost the pin at the top of the tube, and with seeds the pin is the only way to go. I tend to be a bit heavy-handed though--one tiny drop is not enough, seemingly, but 2 can be too much. I find that as I work on a piece, I am removing excess glue (it's easy to remove) days or even weeks later. I love the precision application (when the pin is intact), but cannot comment on the strength, since I knot and then burn the ends of my thread, so I don't know how well the glue is working.  I use Fireline, 6 lb, which burns beautifully. It's great that the glue doesn't stick permanently(!) to your skin, you can ball it up easily. I am also a quilter, and quilting tool suppliers sell containers with those tiny needle-like applicators, and I'm tempted to use one for glue if I can find an excellent glue that's fluid enough to make it through the tip.  If anyone loves a glue such as that, leave me a comment!
