I read the answers about glue problems and I've tried most of them. I really enjoy shell art but I just can't get the right glue. Does anyone know of one that is 100% frustration free?

E6000 - is good preforming adhesive that can b e permanent and also waterproof . Here's why- gluereview.com/
I used hot glue a couple of years ago but noticed when I went to make another that the hot glue has yellowed terribly. These will be sold so Id like them to be the best I can achieve
I second the E6000. It's a great permanent glue for many types of material; glass, metal, china, plastic. I think it will work well with adhering shells and it shouldn't yellow.
Good luck!
Gorilla Glue should do the job nicely.
Gorilla glue to me is a one time purchase and thats why I stopped using it. I buy it I use it and I cant get it open afterwards I have to use pliers then I have to use some implement to make the group come out again I cant get it out then I have to use implement to get a little bit out and it is just a hassle and to me its not worth purchasing. Right now I just made something using shells and I used E6000 but It was on a flat surface so its very easy now Im going to use it on grapevine wreath and it might be harder but I am not liking gorilla glue anymore.
Perhaps try Aleene's clear gel tacky glue.

Beacon Sea Shell Glue bonds seashells to many surfaces such as glass, wood, terra cotta, metal, dries clear, is flexible, shock resistant, non-toxic, waterproof, UVA resistant.
I find hot glue works the best but Ive tried lots of different things the 80000 whatever is very complicated to use Gorilla glue works the best but it takes time to dry and if youre gluing some thing on an angle it just slides off Ive made a seashell tree using clear shower door sealant light Dap brand
You say you have read the answers to previous postings so I'm assuming you mean one of these links:
www.thriftyfun.com/
You do not say what type of project you are trying to do;
Is it with wood?
Ceramic?
Canvas?
Glass/mirror?
Large or small shells?
You also do not say what products you have tried or what kind of problem you had so most likely you will only receive suggestions for using the same glues as posted on the other questions/answers.
Perhaps if you were to explain more about what you are trying to do, someone could be more helpful.
Perhaps some problems might arise because of the method used to clean/prepare the shells?
Or the way you are trying to attach the shells to your frame work?
Indoor items or outdoor items?
Perhaps with more information, someone will be able to help you.
you have to consider two things that where you use glue? Is it use in inhouse or outdoor conditions. I wood suggest Aleen's tacky glue or E600 is best.
