Questions & Answers

Do you think I could stencil with this? Does that mean it will be attached to my project forever?

A permanent attachment will take place

Do you have any experience with scanning and cutting mats? Did it work the way you thought it would? YouTube video I saw caught my attention. Would you suggest Krylon's easy tack if it might be less ?

When I tried to renew my mats using the repositionable spray glue, it was too tacky and the paper peeled off. The cricut machine I have is an X-acto knife. You can use a 12 by 12 mat if it is 12 x 12. They are currently on sale for $6 2/each on Amazon. Those who own other machines claim that they are cheaper and work just fine. On mine, I use a lint roller to get rid of the little pieces and extend the life of the mat. Someone suggested washing the little pieces off with soap and warm water however, I haven't tried that For the renewal of my mats, I use EK Success Jumbo Tip 2 way glue. It costs The time is 0000. Although the reproduced mat are not as good as new, they work and a tip I found for sticking the paper to the mat when it becomes less sticky was to use a piece of tape on the edges. Enjoy your crafting time!

To line the drawers of my dresser, I want to use What are the chances of this glue working?

To line my drawers, I do the following Depending on my liking, I decorate chipboard with fabric or paper strapped to it. I adhere the fabric or paper at the back, to prevent adhesive from seeping through into the drawer contents. Then I can easily change it out when the seasons change (yes, I'm a bit shabby about some things and this is a super easy way to satisfy my need) or discover a brand new fabric/paper that I have to have. In fact, you can protect your papers (in ziplock bags, of course) by placing them beneath For this purpose, you can use spray adhesive, but it is a messy and stinky process. I use Tacky Glue (just dot it), Scotch tape, or even Duct Tape, since I need to adhere the prettiness to a narrow border on the backside. I suggest you use my method so that you can even redo the process if you need to As long as the adhesive is on that narrow border on the back of the fabric, you can use it. I'm happy for you! It's so funny.

This is awful
3/5

I have spots of oil on my art. I've ruined all my art because of this horrible junk spray glue. The ink bled through the paper and stained it permanently. As far as spray adhesives go, this is the worst I've ever used. I'll definitely go back to 3M products in the future. There's no point in wasting your time with this.

I keep my Cricut mats in it and they work well
5/5

The Cricut cutting mats can get dirty if not properly cared for, so I had it professionally cleaned and then used to restick the mats. It did the job well, I was able to lightly spray some adhesive and my papers stuck. Nothing to worry about! The adhesive I used solved my problem and I would strongly recommend it to anyone. You can count on me to keep buying over and.

Tacky spray is my favorite
5/5

Tacky spray is my favorite. In addition to its easy application, it was runny enough to allow me to swirl it around to cover the inside of the ball before it dried too much to move. I bought this for use with clear glass ornaments, as the "pledge" method has glitter falling off after a while. It appeared at first that the tacky spray was clumpy and opaque, so I was worried that the glitter wouldn't show up as vibrantly as it could. It was a pleasant surprise to discover that my glue dried clear and my glitter is still as brilliant as before! A small amount of spray came into contact with my thumb while I was It doesn't come off too bad. The process of doing it required some scrubbing. The spray type of glue will serve your purpose if you need a clear glue. There's no doubt it's the one for you!.

Paper is cleaned of ink by lifting it up
4/5

When I saw that they also made it in a glue stick version, I had to try it. Aleene's is by far the best glue I've ever used in crafts. As good as liquid glue, and no mess, but it is hard to reposition anything once it has been placed on the glue. If you are doing junk journalism or miniature book making, it is almost impossible to reposition anything after you have placed it on the glue. In addition to lifting ink off of your printouts and beneath it, this glue will also lift the ink off of your surfaces, so take caution! One of the things I dislike about Aleene's Tacky Glue Stick is that it is made This is my other glue stick which I will be returning to.

This is worth the money
4/5

I like the spray because it sticks well. It's not like I've done much gluing and bonding with adhesive sprays (3M, etc. ). I have, however, done my fair share of gluing and bonding with all sorts of glues, glue guns, glue sticks, There is no question that this adhesive is the easiest to use of all the adhesives. It is simply a matter of shaking the can and spraying it. There you go, literally nothing else to say. In my experience, it is pretty strong and has never caused me any problems in application. You are holding it together with As a result, we won't be able to satisfy those expecting it to not leave a sticky residue, nor to be totally clear. In spite of its description that says it goes on clear, it can sometimes bleed through certain fabrics when very closely examined. Because the product isn't made to be used for every craft and purpose under the sun, that's why it's not suitable for every use. I can't think of anything negative to say about this deal. I liked how the package was well packaged and the product My own experience with it was that I personally used it twice. A lampshade I once made required me to glue on fabric. The fabric was glued onto the lampshade and held the styrene in place (the shade), and my friends tell me the lamp shade looked great. I used the spray a second time when I framed a couple of projects. I used the spray to adhere pictures to scrapbook paper and then to picture mats in There was a wall hanging of them. It was evident that the sides and rims of the pictures were crisp and clear. The sides do not have glue oozing out. Regular glue sticks and Elmers glue are messy and not as strong as the brand you use. In contrast to simple arts and crafts and home decor, other bonding glues like gorilla glue, wood glue, and glue guns have different purposes. The spray from 3M is also quite good, I suppose, but I bought this one for its price and because it will handle crafts and arts better. Using this glue will allow you to do many kinds of art work and craft work, and fix up decor around the house or whatever you want. This glue is clearly not the right one to use when gluing wood pieces together. In general, it had the desired effect and I only had to use less than three or four full sprays to accomplish my goals. It is likely that 90 percent of the can can still be put to good use. If you're into arts and crafts, then it's worth having around the house for whenever the whim strikes. For under six bucks, you can't go wrong with one of these.

The product is great value for money, and it works wonderfully for delicate items
5/5

Glue used to attach delicate paper cut outs to envelopes. As I was doing it, Athens force blown some around and made the box sticky. Once they dried, though, they became tacky, and I was able to stick stuff on them with ease. The best glue in the world.

It does not stick, and it is not tacky You will not have a stuck site! It stays exactly where I put it and nothing comes undone, so I usually use 3M 45 spray
3/5

Even after 3 different bottles of glue, this one just won't stick. It was used to adhere a foam interfacing to a piece of vinyl that had I cannot peel the 3M from the walls so the foam rips if I try to peel it away. There was just a piece of Alene left sitting there after one of the pieces peeled off. My hand went straight to the ground after picking it up. A very frustrating experience. It was only because of the fact that the 3M I normally buy was out of stock that I bought this. The last time I spent money on this was many years ago. If I had used eyelash glue instead of this glue, I feel as if it would have held up better.

A glue stick of the highest quality
5/5

Whether you want to use this glue stick for children's art projects or for your own personal use, it gives a very solid bond and pro finish to your paper craft projects. Paper, including magazine paper, is ideally suited to this detergent. The glue doesn't bond well to tissue, but I have used it with tissue by adhering the tissue to the glue and then covering it with the tissue. Clean-up is simple since the product dries clear. In the same way that Aleene's liquid tacky glue is reliable, so is this product. These two products are essential when it comes to creating cards and collages. I would highly recommend it.
