Making Picture Pendants - Super Glue

I have used Super Glue, in one fashion or another, since I started making picture pendants and earrings. It is a pain in the butt to use. I finally started using Loctite's Super Glue Gel to reduce the "getting it all over the place" syndrome. It is thicker and comes out slower. Well, except at the very first, then it shoots out of there like water out of a fountain. After the first couple of tries, it settles down and comes out at a decent rate.

Someday, I hope to find a glue that goes on evenly, doesn't frost as it dries, and only sticks to jewelry pieces instead of everything else. Ah, the search continues.
