Jewelry Making

I need to know what is the best hand drill for resin beads. If i wanted to glue the resin gems to a ring blank or whatever, what is the best glue to use? If it helps I plan on using Easy Cast epoxy brand

I appreciate any help, thank you!

Most any drill will work… don’t need a special drill bit. And Easy Cast is probably a little softer than regular epoxy resins (and than polyester resins too), so it might be even a little easier to drill.

The best glue is probably a 2-part epoxy *glue* (Devcon 2 Ton 30-min set is a very clear one), but other kinds of glue could work if the join won’t be stressed too much (E6000, a strong white glue like Weldbond, etc.).

Check out this page for more info on using resins, if you’re interested:
