	What works best? I have created a pin for the costume below: http://www.padawansguide.com/originaltrilogy/hoth4.jpg but Elmer's did not secure the pin back it popped right off... Any suggestions would be appreciated -----signature----- http://samart.etsy.com Don't Dream It Be It - "Rocky Horror"

	Not sure why you thought Elmers glue would work, but maybe that's all you had to try. I would trust 5 min. epoxy more than super glue. Super glue is not good for all surfaces. Why do you want to put a pin back on it when it looks like it fits into a little "pocket"? For added security, to make sure it doesn't come out? -----signature----- In order to see the Light, you must sometimes risk the Darkness. "The Force is my Ally" Builder of EL Sabre Blades

	Honestly? They're all the same. I would recommend buying the stuff in the syringe if it's your first time using it. Easier to make sure you have even amounts of the components. Make sure you mix it well. I usually use a piece of wax paper to mix on and a Popsicle stick to stir it. -----signature----- "Canon" is for Trekkies.
