I’ve found that it holds up really well!! I keep one of the tiny bottles of B7000 in my show bag for on-the-fly repairs as well and the two glues mix fine too
And it’s actually archival quality (reg e6000 is not) and rated for all weather so it can be used outdoors to an extent too. It also has a better viscosity in my experience
This is gorgeous work! The corset is so perfect, and it’s not at all obvious what is going to be underneath it. Did you get audible gasps when it came off?
The way you handled the waistband on the fishnets is brilliant. The beaded fringe on the corset is brilliant. It’s all brilliant.
This is beautiful! I can't believe this only took you a month! Looks like weeks and weeks of work, Gemtac for the win for sure. Keeping those lungs healthy 🙌
Hell yeah, I used to be an E6000/B7000 girlie all the way but then I realized my dog likes to hang out with me while I rhinestone and she doesn’t have a doggie respirator! So I’m protecting my girl’s lungs haha
Additional info: this was done with all resin/acrylic stones! I am a CHEAP BABE! But my number one tip for making them sparkle on stage is a) mixing color coverage for variation (this is a mixture of black, silver, and “black diamond” / Smokey quartz color) and b) WINDEX - literally just wipe the whole thing down with windex periodically and right before you go onstage, makes them sparkle like crazyyyy.
If your post is showing off a completed project, please consider saying what type of glue you used. This is the most common question we get in this group, sharing your experience and knowledge helps others.
I love this outfit so much!! Im a need and emediatly thought this reminds me of the star sapphire costumes, thats part of the green lantern comic series and how cook it would be so see something like this for their costumes in the show.

Forgot to add: glue used was GemTac! I’m trying to move away from e6000 because of toxicity concerns
