Question
i need to know what is the best glue for gluing rhinestones and beads on plastic and fabric. im making funky flip flops and shirts and jackets with them. please let me know your opinion
thanks cynthia

Answer
Well I have never done that but Elmers Craft Bond Ultra Stix All Glue is also a favorite of mine for the lack in fumes.  You can also use E6000 or 527 but they have fumes to worry about.

Hope this helps!
