Does anyone have positive or negative experiences using this glue to glue on findings? Where do you find this glue?

Home Depot type store, or preferably a good local hardware store will have it, or some type of polyurethane glue. Any brand will work. Pro is the bonding strength and the variety of materials it will work with. Con is that it does not cure clear, but brown, and the cure time is hours long. It also expands when curing which can cause problems if you don't account for it. Also is a mess to clean up if it gets on anything you don't want to be on, like skin.

Tony is right, it's rather ugly and it's hard to control the expansion. It works really well, but on pins, I wouldn't use it again unless I was adding a little swatch of deerskin or something to cover the glue. Plus it's sort of an ugly yellow color. I used the Elmer's.

Gorilla glue is also PolyUrethane. Does great for glueing styro together to get a bigger piece. Must be clamped in this app.
