I’m “Stuck” and Love It!


I am absolutely sold on “Everything Gel”! What is it? This simple adhesive, I must admit, works better than anything in the whole world. We used to be able to purchase it at a local “mart”, but now we are unable to find it. Searching the web, we found www.imglued.com site and ordered ten bottles of this stuff for $2.15 each. They also sell a “remover” that can come in quite “handy” in emergencies.

Audrey accidently broke three angels putting away the Christmas scene this year. She had bought some fancy "super glue" off one of those TV shopping channels. She was certain that this stuff was going to be a real winner for us. Just the opposite happened. She spent the next four hours trying to get the "super stuff" to work and ended up gluing her fingers three times. Uff Da! (That’s Norwegian for “OH NO!”)

As I sensed her increased frustration and cries of despair, she yelled out, "Honey....can you please search the Internet for some Everything Gel?" I have never heard Audrey utter so many, “Aaah, Bummer, You must be kidding me, Ohhhhh man, expressions of exasperation in one evening, as she did while struggling to assemble the first broken angel. It was making me feel quite nervous. I was anticipating
hearing the final crash in the garbage can with the whole business!

I looked all over the Internet and could not find it as "Everything Gel". Once I found an old bottle, I realized that I needed to type "Bondini" Everything Gel. Sure enough I found the winning item. It arrived in four days. Amazing!

My wife had left two angels that required a severe and delicate orchestration of pieces to get them to stay together. A job that only Everything Gel could accomplish! She wasted no time. Glue bottle in hand and several porcelain pieces neatly arranged in order of install, she began the most demanding repair ever. It
was done in 20 minutes. A step to success in the repair is to use it sparingly. Audrey often times will take a toothpick and dip it in a drop of the glue and then spreads it over small surfaces. Be stingy! Hold it in place and count to 50! Read the directions and follow all warnings.

We have been promoting this product for 7 years in our business and have never mentioned it on the Blog. What makes this glue so spectacular is that it is a gel. Many times we lose those “filler” pieces that complete the broken edge. When we try the liquid glues, we stand there motionless praying we have a bond.

I know what you are thinking….where is the picture of the angels? She packed them away until next year. Take our word for it; you want a bottle of this stuff in the kitchen, bathroom and especially in your craft room.

Until next time, remember… let’s keep it together!
