    Appropriate glue
    I have been doing a craft project that I need to glue a coiled piece of 20 gauge wire to the handle of cutlery (stainless steel) I cannot seem to find a glue that will hold. Please advise.

    When I need a really good and sticky glue, I usually just use nail glue for those fake nails you can find in the store :)

    Is it clear and will it hold for a long period?

    Yes, it is clear, and I have seen it hold for months :)

    It's a glue that actually is named "Gorilla" glue. Fool with it before you use it, because it has a tendency to expand. It's very strong! You can get anywhere! Home depot, hardware stores, craft stores, they all have it.

    Actually, nail glue is very very similar to super glue, so if you have trouble finding one or the other then...

    Good luck!

    It's a VERY good glue if you need something held and water prof. Ive used it on wire and had it hold amazingly well.

    You can usually get E6000 at craft stores.

    In our local Michele's, its in the area where the paper products are, next to the small wooden letters and such... sometimes they move it to end isle places but what your looking for is a steel grey metal tube ( yes paper wrapping that's grey, not just a metal tube LOL ) with huge letter E and of course the 6000. This glue and aleenes tacky glue are the only two I will use in my crafting.

    Good luck.
