well i'm going to be putting those metal tip pieces on instead of drilling stones and i'm wondering what glue works the best? i'm just thinking locktight superglue impact resistant but what does everyone recommend? I know some glues peal and break away after a while and i don't need that.

E6000 works for me . Rough up the stone a bit and clean everything with acetone .

I use Devcon two ton epoxy for doublets or anything requiring a hell for stout, long life glue job. I'm stuck on Devcon products as I feel they are the best that one can buy. E6000 is no slouch, but I'm a believer that a two part epoxy is much stronger and will not break down and let loose over time like a single tube glue is prone to do.

E6000 is mighty toooough stuff but I have used a lot of two ton in my custom lure making. I once coated a fancy ( REALLY fancy ) paint job on a customers favorite Northern / Musky spoon to protect the custom paint I put on it. He came in about two weeks later and had the spoon in his hand. He handed the spoon to me and said , look at that ! I ask if he was going to use it or leave it in the top tray in his tackle box to keep it looking pretty. He told me he used it ALL week on vacation and caught --(47)-- Northern and Musky on it ! After being Rat knawed by that many toothy critters there wasn't even a small scratch on it !
That"s tough !
It can be thinned with Lacquer thinner and dye added for special sprayed applications. If you have some left over it can be stored in your freezer for several months, simply add more thinner to bring it back to the desired consistancy you need.
If you are in a big hurry to warm it up before use ----- place the container in a small amount of hot water, not boiling.
Never-- ever-- absolutely do not-- place it in a micro-wave oven for even a FEW seconds to warm it up to room temperature !
DON'T ASK ME HOW I KNOW THAT !
Sorry about hi-jacking the thread.

I have used Starbond Thick Gel CA glue with mixed results... half of the 4 tear drop stones I used them on had the stone fall out - one was lost. I made sure to rough-up the tip of the stone first, but I guess I did not do a good enough job of it... Oh Well... I think I will try E6000 instead. It is a work in-progress. I am still new to this and have not yet found a good application method... I am real good at gluing my fingers together.
Sooo... I vote to try E6000.

I use hot stuff for the initial assembly on my intarsia and then put on my backing with 330, but none of them was stone to metal. I have used JB weld to set stones in the cast buckles and I dop to aluminum with Harbor freight epoxy with almost 100% success, but the HF will turn yellow so it can't be in a visible location. Think I might get some of the black E6000 to see if it's suitable for basinite backings, start by trying it for dopping and see how it holds.
