I've been asked to make pandora-type beads and I'd like to have a go at the silver rivets.  Do you glue them in and if so what glue should I use?

yes you can glue them in - I use a 2 part epoxy  - Araldite

yup - 2 part epoxy.  Don'e use superglue - it's too brittle, and they'll fall out.

And use ventilation with the expoxy if you're doing a lot.  Ask me how I know, and i'll tell you when I get off the ceiling!

Thanks for the advice.  I'm going to go for it!
