New Antique Bronze Glue-On Flat Metal Bail – (24mmX13mm)

Description

Antique Bronze Glue-On Bail

Resin artists working with domed cabochons and polymer clay sculptors shaping dimensional pendants rely on bails that attach without drilling or wire wrapping. This antique bronze glue-on bail measures 24mm in length and 13mm across, offering a flat adhesive surface wide enough to distribute weight evenly across larger resin pours and ceramic blanks. The shallow-curved back plate sits flush against smooth surfaces, while the forward-facing loop accommodates chains and cords without twisting. Makers who embed flowers, metallic foils, or alcohol inks into their pieces need hardware that won’t compete visually—this bail recedes into warm bronze tones that complement earth-toned palettes.

• Single flat metal bail with adhesive mounting surface
• Dimensions: 24mm vertical length × 13mm width at widest point
• Antique bronze finish with deliberately darkened recesses
• Loop opening accommodates chains up to 3mm diameter
• Metal core ensures durability under pendant weight
• Flat back designed for E6000, two-part epoxy, or industrial-strength craft adhesive

Attach this finding to the reverse of stone cabochons cut from agate or jasper slices when you want to avoid drilling through natural striations. Polymer clay artists cure their sculpted elements first, then adhere the bail using flexible adhesive that moves with the clay’s slight give. Mixed media makers working with metal pendants as base layers apply this bail atop decoupaged surfaces or oxidized copper sheets. The 24mm height positions the loop far enough above the pendant’s top edge to prevent chain kinking, particularly useful when working with thicker pieces like layered resin pours or stacked leather components.

Clean the adhesive surface with isopropyl alcohol before applying glue to ensure maximum bond strength—oil from fingerprints weakens epoxy curing. The bail’s slightly textured back increases surface area for adhesive grip. Pair with jewellery making supplies like jump rings if you need to add dangles below the main pendant element, or thread directly onto braided cord for simpler designs. Australia Beads stocks this finding individually so you purchase only what each project requires, reducing unused inventory for crafters testing new techniques or working on custom commissions where each piece demands different hardware.
