1.0 out of 5 stars Doesn't work, October 6, 2010

I would avoid this stuff. It doesn't work. I spent hours gluing rhinestones onto a t-shirt (and yes, I did pre-wash the shirt before gluing on the rhinestones) into the shape of my school's logo. I wore the shirt to the football game, it looked great, got all kinds of compliments. I just washed the shirt -- in gentle, in cold water. About a hundred of the two hundred rhinestones fell off in the washer. I am so angry right now. So the bit about "holds jewels permanently through repeated washings" isn't true. I used to decorate shirts with rhinestones on a fairly regular basis, never had this issue before with the other brands I used. This is the first time I've use this particular brand of glue, I bought it because the bottle was small and only wanted enough for this project. Big mistake on my part.

You really have to prewash your fabric first or the stones will fall off of some types of fabrics like very pretty rain. Personally I prefer another kind of glue...GemTac, because you don't have to prewash anything.

4.0 out of 5 stars Depends on what you want it for..., December 29, 2009

Jewel-It is a good glue for rhinestones and the like. Whether you choose it over its main competitor, Gem-Tac, depends on what you're doing.

Jewel-It:
Is thicker
Dries more slowly
Tends to blurt suddenly unexpectedly out of the bottle in great gobs. Not sure why this happens, but beware.

Gem-Tac
Has a consistency like a slightly thinned white glue
Dries much faster than Jewel-It
Is more expensive

Overall I prefer Gem-Tac but either will do the job. One caveat: my experiences are based on gluing rhinestones to paper, not fabric, so I can't speak to durability.
