What glue for custom eyes?

Recommended Posts

Bellatrix

Hi!

One pair of custom eyes I bought (Twin Snow brand) is broken: the lens slipped off the base.

I succesfully removed the old glue, what glue could I use to attach the lens back in place?

Twin snow used a slightly violet glue, but I have no idea which one it is.

I don't want to use super glue because it damages the plastic, while white glue and gloss don't dry even after a whole night 

Thanks for any tip >_<

No matter what glue you use, you'll probably need to wait a couple days. 2-3.

I used Gem Tack/Embellish It on all my girls' eyes. It takes AGES to dry--the 18mm ones for Agatha and Homura took about 5 days, while Nanoha's 24mm ones took 7-8. But they came out really nicely in the end.

 

By the way, I glue the print to the lens, let it dry completely, and THEN put them in the base. That seems to help a lot in making sure they dry properly clear. In fact, I don't even cut them off the sheet until the glue is dry, and then trim them just enough to get them in, so I don't even have to glue the lens to the white.


In this household, sanity is considered a tresspasser.

Good to know! But sadly the printed part is already glued to the white base... :-/

I use E-6000! It takes two days to dry but is my favorite glue for plastic eyes. Dries clear and is really strong.
