when i started decoing i used epoxy and i liked it because it had a really strong hold. i just really hated the mixing part so i started using e6000. it's easier to use because you don't have to mix it but it's also really stringy which made it messier compared to epoxy.
E6000 for me is the best. I've tried both and had a lot better luck with the E6000 (and it's a lot easier). Make sure you let it dry for at least 24 hours though. I've used it for decoing my phone case and the pearls never even came off :)
I've never used epoxy but I loooooove E6000. Just make sure you leave it alone while it's drying. The bond is super strong! I had a ring I made that I had glued a polymer clay bow onto, and had it sitting in my purse, bouncing around for a while and I forgot about it. When i took it out, it was the physical ring that had broken rather than the bond between the bow and the ring. Super strong stuff.
Ive noticed the same thing. When I used the e6000 the parts of the glue that were visible had a slightly dirty tinge to them. I'm still trying to figure out an alternative. So far my only solution has been to paint over it with nail polish. As far as strength goes, it is very strong. The only issues Ive had is on the edges of one of my phone cases it has gotten slightly rubbery and I can peel the crystals off. I havent figured out why it only did it to one case though lol =p
Yeah you know it's been a while since I posted this and now I kinda see what you mean. I wish I had a helpful answer :/ I guess stick with super glue if it really bothers you! My phone is white and I deco'd on a clear case so it's not as visible on mine
