The go-to glue for carnival costume builders. E8000 is a clear, flexible, industrial-strength adhesive made for attaching rhinestones, gems, sequins, and embellishments to fabric, spandex, bras, belts, headpieces, and backpieces — it dries clear and stays flexible, so your stones stay put from J'ouvert to the last lap.
Why costume makers love it

Precision needle tip — place glue exactly where each gem goes, no mess on your fabric

How to use
- Clean the surface first — make sure it's dry and free of dust or oils.
- Apply a small dot of glue to the surface (or the back of the gem) and press into place.
- Hold briefly — pieces bond in 1–2 minutes.
- Let sit 48 hours to reach full bonding strength before wearing or washing.
Caution: Use in a well-ventilated area. Not for use on skin — for face gems, use a skin-safe adhesive. Keep away from children and heat. Cap tightly after use.
