inserts, what glue?
I found some of the sterling rivet type bead inserts at my supplier to fit 5mm holes and after several attempts have managed to get the hole size in the bead correct by double dipping the mandrels. Now I am wondering what is the best glue to use to keep these in place.
What do people use?

I use a glue designed for metal and porcelain. Works really well but I am at work and have no clue what its called.

Triolyse is my choice -
"This powerful two part adhesive applies as thin as water and makes an unbreakable bond with materials such as glass, jewelry findings, metals, porcelain, plastics, stone and fiber glass. When dry, glue is virtually invisible and non-yellowing. Not meant to be used in kiln, 14 ml of activator, 10 ml of adhesive"

Yep I just ordered Triolyse, on the advise in a BHB thread. That is some good stuff. And as far as glue goes, it isn't very stinky either. Holds TIGHT. I got mine from Maplecityglass on Ebay.

I really like epoxy 330 good on metal, glass. You can speed cure it in 10 minutes with a heat lamp or otherwise you have 45 minutes of working time.

I'm using a 2 part jeweler's epoxy made by UHU. It sets quickly to metal and glass, doesn't yellow, and cleans up fairly easily.

Thanks everybody, that helps.
I got them from Bamiyan Silver, I think they worked out to about .25 cents each. I will try and find that glue in Toronto...
