Attaching Lots of Bails At One Time using No Days Bailbond

To download the pdf, visit Streuter's project gallery.

Do you have a whole bunch of cabochons laying in wait to become pendants? All you need to do is get out the epoxy and glue 'em? (Yes, I hate epoxy that much, too!) Good thing there's No Days Bailbond!

It's a heat set adhesive for your bails, that's totally non-toxic, quick to set, easy to re-work and you can set all your pendants at once by throwing them in the oven!

No more epoxy headaches. No more tearing bails apart to fix the one that slid out of place. If you need to change a silver bail to a gold bail, just re-heat the adhesive to remove the old one. Heat the new one in place, and as soon as the pendant cools (less than 5 minutes) it's ready to wear!
