How to use
Pewter Glue-On Bails:

How to use Pewter Glue-On Bails
  1. Determine where, on the flat-side of the cabochon or item you will be transforming, you want to apply the bail. Rest the cabochon (or other item) on a surface where the flat side will rest on a level plane.
  2. Apply adhesive to the small reservoirs on the back-side of the bail, adding enough adhesive so it is just overflowing. Press the bail into place on the cabochon (or other item).
  3. Let the adhesive cure, undisturbed, per the manufacturer’s instructions.
  4. When the adhesive is cured, the pendant will be ready to hang on a chain or cording of your choice.
