Vigor Jeweler's Epoxy 2 Step 12.0451 - Fast Setup Clear and Colorless - Resin and Hardener

My review is based on actual jewelry repair. I originally purchased the Hughes epoxy 330. They say it's an industry standard. I found it doesn't work as described. My wife's heirloom jade bracelet broke at both glued points with 48 hours. The Vigor Epoxy worked, it's clear, very solid adhesion.. What i also liked about the Vigor is it's formulated to be waterproof, including salt water and hot tubs. The Hughes 330 is not.

I have a ring that has a large pearl on a post. Somehow over time the pearl came off. First I tried using a super glue, which from my research, was an option. It did not hold. So I decided to try this. I have worn the ring for a few weeks since using this product and it has held. I found instructions on-line for how to put a pearl back on a post, and a key requirement is to be sure to get rid of any old glue residue. Don't be afraid of using a two-part glue like this that you have to mix. While it isn't quite as convenient as super glue, it was not that big of a deal for me, and it seems to have made all the difference.

Used this to make Bolo ties out of Masonic Lodge coins. Both to hold the clip on the back and the tips on the 3mm bolo cord. I used acetone to clean the back of the coins and the clip surface. I tried a hammer and screw driver and was not able to break free. We are selling these as fund raisers.

This was very easy to use. I used it to repair a Baltic amber earring. The earring had a long amber drop that had broken into two pieces where there was an inclusion. I glued the two pieces back together and you can’t even see where the repair was made.

Product does dry clear, minimal to no odor. I bought this to add two cz stones to my ring. 4 stars because 1 held the other fell out in 3 days. I will give it another try.

Great Product And Fast Service

I had my old pearl ring refurbished last year by a local jeweler. I thought she did a good job, but the pearl actually came off in my workout club shower (less than two years?)! I had the ORIGINAL pearl ring for 20+ years and the pearl never came off (although I think I replaced once). There did not appear to be signs of ANY residue from old glue on the post or inside the pearl or base. So, I called the shop. They did not respond. Since, I used to work for a jewelry store, I researched on line and this two step process is the best. Weeks later it is still tight. Save money and do it yourself!!! Great product.

Did a lot of research to see what the best adhesive was for repairing and attaching metal pieces to semi precious stones and stumbled across the vigor jewelers epoxy. After reading the reviews, I went ahead and purchased it. I needed something permanent to bond peg bail caps on half drilled malachite beads. I followed all of the instructions. Made sure both the peg cap and malachite were sanded down where the epoxy was to adhere. Mixed 1:1 ratio very well and applied to both the peg cap and the malachite bead. I also took an eye pin with some epoxy to place inside the hole of the bead just to make sure that it will adhere well on the inside of the bead. Left it to cure for over 24 hours and the epoxy only lasted a couple of hours after curing for an entire day. The bead just fell off the peg cap and onto the floor. For this price range, I would want this to be a permanent bond. Not just 2 hours. I have better luck with jewelers super glue than this but because I’m working with someone expensive beads, I figured this would be a much better option. Unfortunately, I was wrong.
