When I first began card making about 7 years ago, I made Christmas cards
for the family. Looking back, they were not that great but I was proud of
them. My eldest daughter and her husband
were given one with a fireplace, Christmas trees and stocking hanging by the
fire, (all very useful stickers).
The day after she put it up, they came down in the
morning to find it all had all slid off the card and was leaning drunkenly on
top of the television. They thought it was funny and her hubby stuck it all
back on with sticky tack. This incident began my quest for ultra-strong sticky
stuff that wouldn’t stick to me or result in my efforts all slipping of the
card.
Once of the best things I found first of all was Pinflair Glue Gel. This
is amazing glue that bonds surfaces so strongly I have no worries it won’t stay
put. I also used it to seal the rubber round my car door that the garage told
me would cost a fortune as they would have to order special glue. They
obviously hadn’t heard of Pinflair and it is still stuck firmly several years
later. The amazing thing is, it just dries and peels off your fingers if you
happen to touch it. How does it do this? Do you remember those strong adhesives
that used to pull the skin off your fingers?
For intricate pieces, needing a fine nozzle, then
Cosmic Shimmer Glue is my choice. This bonds really well and is great for
making flowers and fixing intricate die cuts.
Both these glues dry clear and that is another bonus. Next time I’ll
tell you of my latest finds.
