Searching for button findings...

Where to get button findings (backs) to glue onto glass cabs?
Also, does E-6000 work best for this? I have been happy with it in the past and am wondering other's feedback.

Thanks!

This sounds like a situation that you should handle quickly. I always have 2 copies of the inventory list I'm delivering to the gallery/shop (I do a simple version in Excel). We sign both of them and they get one, I keep one. Do you have a contract with them? If not, write a simple one up yourself, ...

Thanks All!!

Dick, are you having an opening reception Friday night? What time? We are staying right around the corner and I may be able to squeeze it in!

We walked around La Jolla and saw the most wonderful gallery! Tomorrow off to Balboa Park and Spanish Village. It looks fun!
