I've been trying and trying and trying to glue these endcaps to my memory wire, and it won't bond!
I've let it sit overnight. Won't work. Let it sit for five minutes, then pressed together, then let it sit for the rest of the day. Won't work.
I've nail-filed the ends of the memory wire and everything!
Please, please, please, I need help!
I'm using Aleene's Glass and Bead glue "for slick surfaces". It's not working!

try using cement glue for jewlery. it comes in a small red package and has a fine tip to it. i've heard good things about that.

Try a different glue. Sounds redundant I know, but Aleene's is out sourced and they've changed the formula on sever of the glue products, it may not be YOU it is more likely the glue.
I use this to glue a variety of things:
Barge Adhesive is a pvc glue and it works for me every time.
Good Luck and Happy Crafting!

Switch to a different glue. I highly recommend E-6000 sold at Home Depot and some craft stores. I would also recommend Gorilla Glue.

Make sure the surfaces are clean and free of any oils ( including yours ). Use steel wool or sandpaper to give some " tooth " to the surfaces. Try using Loctite Impruv or LePage's metal Epoxy. Hope this helps.

Try a product called "shoe goo" sold in most Wal Mart shoe departments, Home Depot, glue section and some drug stores. We have yet to find something it will not work on, from glass, metal and vinyl.

Double-check that the surfaces are totally free of oil. If you've touched them, they probably have oil from your fingertips. Re-clean the surfaces with detergent and then acetone (filing does not remove oil) and then try again.

Try Super Fusion or E6000.
