Henrietta's Gum Arabic - 1/2 fl oz Beading Glue
Use to make self thread needles and seal closing knots. Ends tamp in easily for invisible closing. Water soluble, washes off hands, tools and beads. Waterproof knots with a dab of clear nail polish / enamel. For best results, use on silk thread. Henrietta's Gum Arabic Beading Glue was formulated by Master Beader Henrietta Verchick, author of Pearl and Bead Stringing with Henrietta.
An odourless, non-toxic, water-soluble glue, it is primarily used for making a self-needle out of silk thread. This allows you to do pearl knotting without a bead tip or bead cup, to never have to use a wire needle, and to always have a sharp needle handy. Instructions for making the self-needle are on the bottle. Gum Arabic Beading Glue is also useful for gluing knots in silk or nylon thread.
This one 1/2 ounce bottle will last forever and easily washes off tools or fabric. It can be thinned with water. Artists and crafters (especially scrapbookers) report that it also works well with their projects, for thinning paints and inks and making changing their consistency.
