Was happy to see Aileen's Tack It Over and Over. I have about 3 trillion stamps, and the wood mounted ones took up SO much space. I have unmounted ALL of them, and am so glad that I did!! It was a time consuming process, but they take up about 10% of the space that they once did!! I learned a tip from Club Scrap that I'll share here, in case anyone wants to do the same. Spread Aileen's Tack it Over and Over on the inside of a clean pizza box and let it dry. Now, when you want to put the same glue on the back of your unmounted rubber stamps, stick them face down to the inside of the pizza box -- they will stay in place while you spread the glue on the backs, and you don't get it all over your fingers. Close the box and set it aside until the milky color turns clear, and your stamps are ready to be stored. Thanks for sharing your knowledge with us,Lindsay!!
It is cheaper than a glue roller (if you get it at Sam's Club) but it might be a wash if bought elsewhere. It used to be a lot less when I started using it but it works and holds tight and is photo safe so I stuck with it. I have had tape runners before and they would get gummed up and tangled and were expensive. I like that I can tuck a roll in my crop bag and not have to buy another dispenser.
Cool! how do you crackle with Elmers? I'd love to know! I forgot to mention it in the video but I mix Elmers and viniger to make envelope glue, paint it on a homemade envie and let it dry then you can lick and stick the envie shut.
One FYI: yes, Elmer's is a PVA glue, BUT, it's a relatively low-quality one. The best quality PVA is Books by Hand PVA. It doesn't have the fillers that Elmer's does. It does cost quite a lot more than Elmer's, but TANSTAAFL
Dang, look at you! Just a kid here!! LOL Good info though, but look at all the new glues since this video. Your ginormous ATG, fabri tac, matte gel medium...Anywho, just ran across this one from 2012. 💖
Just so you know someone is still watching a 6 year old video, I wanted to comment and thank you for sharing this. New to card making so this was helpful to me. I used the wrong Gorilla glue (the super glue kind) and found that it just kept bubbling over the top when I sat it down for a minute and the lid was off. The bottle was only half full so I couldn't figure out what was happening. What a mess! So thanks for this clarification.
I have a recipe on my blog thefrugalcrafter (dot) wordpress on making a DIY hybrid art clay that resembles porcelain. It uses glue, toilet paper, joint compound, corn starch and a bit of vinegar to retard spoilage and it keeps for a year. You cook it in the microwave. Go to my blog and search "hybrid clay" and you will find the recipe and full instructions:)
Hey, great tips here! I was just wondering why you like the tombow aqua glue better than the white kind? I have the white kind and it seems to work good, but wonder what am I missing! :) tia
Very informative video. Thank you... One quick question what software you use to edit your video. love the way you have the youtube logo to sub to your channel.
I looked up the Tack-It Over and Over on Michael's website and they say it is a temporary adhesive. I'd like to make glue dots, like you suggested, for cardmaking.
to xlovexfaerie re. hot glue...if you are gluing silks or faux silks, it is possible that the hot glue is actually melting your fabric...I have found that I need to wait just a bit after applying glue to the wreath base, and them attaching the fabric.
Hello Lindsay, I recall that you made an extra well on your WC palette with pot glue (what is pot glue?) If I don't want to buy a whole "pot" what wud be a good substitute from common garage items? note: I saw a studio palette with wells bounded on 3 sides, the side facing the big mixing area just open. I think I shud try a homemade style! Hmm ... those tiny eyeshadow applicators cud do for sides (foam tip removed) I want something that cud fill a gap between 2 sticks of plastic (superglue?) and waterproof .. I'm not a crafter so I want to use what my husband already has Xp BTW love that gutter screen for oil brush cleaner :) I was thinking of it myself!
Hot glue is NOT good if the piece will be subject to temperature change. ie I make sea shell wreaths and the hot glue will not hold if the wreath is say in the sun / on a door and in the cold. The shells will pop off. E 6ooo HOLDS!
My projects with a hot glue glue fall apart after a year or so. I have also had my scotch double sided tape fail me too. For Cards I am actually liking how Alenees craft glue works. For other projectsI have been using liquid nails and it's holding up very well. It's good for extreme weather and temperature. I made a flip-flop wreath 2 years ago and it hangs on my door from Feb til Oct. That's a lot of temperature changes and the glass from the door adds to the heat. Also it can get moist from humidity or just opening the door to carry in groceries when it's raining. So good so far :-)
Lol .. Love your video's but you talk so fast I keep backing it up and still don't know what you're saying .. You're awesome! Keep the videos coming ...
Very very informative. Thank you Lindsay. One question I watched one of your videos that had gum Arabic in it. I can't seem to find it. Can you point me in the right direction? It was a diy type video. Thank you so very much. Love your videos.
I was hoping you would mention the glue you used with your envelope making "machine". You used a gun with what looked like two sided sticky tape. Please let me know what works best as I just received the envelope maker as a result of your deomo. Thanks, Lindsay.
Hello Lindsay, Thanks for this video. Would you be open to making a video exclusively for non-paper surfaces? I'd love to hear your favs in that category! Can you rank these 5 glues in terms of performance (different uses): E6000, Gorilla (expands, good for damp surfaces), Elmer's (might come off?), glue gun (are there different types of glue sticks?), super glue (are they made equal?) Sorry about my barrage of questions. I want to buy a good all around glue to add to my toolbox :) Thanks in advance! Stay warm this season :)
Hi Lindsey!! Thank you so much for all your great ideas and this was a great video. There are just so many glues out there and it gets overwhelming. I actually did go to Paper Mart on your suggestion and made a bulk order. Now, I have to find some folks who want to split some stuff up with me. I have a question about glue and decoupage. I am going through Mod Podge like nobodies business and can't afford it right now. I have seen people use Elmer's regular glue mixed with water and that will be fine for my workshop students. But, what do you think about what I can use for myself since I do care about how long my paper crafts live? I am looking for a cheaper alternative and have found some brands, but I wanted your expert opinion before I order anything online. Thanks again! You are awesome. I wish I had your workspace!! It's so big and great! Take care! Juliana
The elmers and water should last as well as mod podge. Both should have a final sealer like a polyurethane or clear spray on top to make it waterproof tho:)
thefrugalcrafter . Hey Lindsay, thanks!! I was just concerned with the archival aspect of it since I hope the pieces will stick around for a while. Sorry to bother you with another question but perhaps, you have a good answer on this subject. Thanks again so much!! Juliana
hi Lindsay i am an artist and crafter i have spent hundreds of hours on the net looking up ideas, techniques and recipes and time testing them and changing them. your videos are some of my favourite ones. i have been wanting to make my own videos for a while now to give back to others some of the knowledge/ experience i have gained from other people. at first i was put of by the being in public view and the centre of attention thing (i always hated drama) but it seems to me now its probably not like that very much. anyway i have been looking for a camera i could use and realised i have no idea what would be good for utube vids and i cant afford an expensive one. do you have any advice for me? thank you for your time : D
Maybe you can help me! I make bookmarks with perforated paper that I cross-stitch. Usually I attach them to a strip of ribbon by stitching them to the ribbon in the corners. But, I was thinking it would be nice to glue them down to the ribbon, but don't know exactly which glue to use. Can you help me please?
+Evelyn Pinkard Honestly, mod-podge is not a place I skimp, I get it by the gallon in matte and gloss and it is quite affordable that way. You can thin down any PVA glue with water though, I'd shy away from any flour/water or cornstarch recipes though as they might invite mold on your projects eventually
Hi Beatles FanSonia, Sprayidea® is one of leading adhesives manufacturer since 2000. For craft bonding application, we have Sprayidea® 88 repositionable spray adhesive is really suitable for paper, plastic, metal and other lightweight materials paste.

What type of glue would I use to adhere large flat Felt sheets to the underneath of some one of kind large 12 x 12 tiles from Guatamala?? I want to use them as trivets, I only have 7 and have gotten some big brown sheets of brown felt to go under neath to protect my counter tops and wood tables. Help.. I'm clueless as to what glue would go into the felt and also attach to the tiles??
I thought about that.. but I was thinking that the hot glue wouldn't spread nice and thin enough to form a consistent film and would create bumps underneath it and cause whatever sets on top of it to not be level. Do you have any other ideas for a slower drying glue that would spread thinner?? I even thought about those spray adhesives?? any thoughts?
Hi, I like to know what would you recommand to glue pants hem (folded)? The glue in sticks seems interesting so is liquid glue. Done it with ribbons and didn't liked it. Too much work and didn't last (could be wrong iron temperature). I'm looking for ease of use and as permanent as possible (someone even mentionned some E6000). thanks Interesting video BTW.
So.. I have a question. I got two containers of Golden Gels. One soft gloss and one regular matte. I noticed I am having a time trying to find a white writing utensil that will be opaque enough when drawn onto the gloss so far. Do you have any experience with writing, coloring, painting per etc over either of these gels? Thanks for you input.
Thank you so much for this video, very informative. But I still don't know which glue to use when i glue down a beautiful image without getting the ripples and lumps. I'm gluing an image that i printed out with my ink jet printer to card stock or the cover of a junk journal or book board. Can you please help me decide which glue would be less likely to cause ripples and lumps?
Hi, you're definitely the most expert in glue i've been searching so far..hopefully you can help me. i'm making many nice origami (folding paper) and want to stick them on a cardboard; then will frame it to put in my living room (and the size of the frame would be pretty big). so for decor purposes, really needs to be acid free (so it doesn't damage my origami papers neither the cartboard; and i need them to stick "forever"; as I wouldn't want them to start falling apart in a few years or something...what is the best glue i should use? i bought the elmer rubber cement (As per the sales person) and surprisingly it almost doesn't stick any of my origami!!! :( I've also seen glue-dots and seems very convenient...are they durable?
I know this video is from 2012, but I was wondering if you had a suggestion for wreaths? I recently made a silk floral wreath & I used a hot glue gun. Put it on our front door and found the flowers falling off the other day (a hot day). Do you have a suggestion what would keep the flowers on? The wreaths I use are typically like a wood but sometimes I use the Styrofoam ones.
on styrofiam you could add a strait or "T" pin to secure the flowers after gluing, on wood maybe you could find a discreet area you could put a staple. I am surprised the flowers were falling off with hot glue but if it gets really hot I suppose it could. Also Helmar 450 is a wonderful quick dry glue that might do the trick, I use it for plastic, cloth, ribbon etc, it does not seep through even thin satin ribbon and sets up quick. It is thick and almost like a hot glue, it is pricy but great!
thefrugalcrafter . Thanks for the response. I've made wreaths before for friends with hot glue & had no problems. I think our door might be part of the issue...it's directly in sun for the warmer months. I think I'll look on amazon & try that Helmar glue, worth a shot!
interesting video, which would you use to attach acrylic to metal and which for plastic to plastic (like soda caps for both plastics) that are strong please?
+Harper Smythe there are several options with fine tip bottles. Stsmpin up had a great one but if you don't use it often it will clog so I usually use the tombow mono adhesive because it is fine enough to place small drops if glue but not so fine it clogs.
+kent gulley I think you could use a thick wood glue for that, try gorilla wood glue or if that is not thick enough Harbor freight brand is really thick.
Liquid nails. It's good for extreme temperatures and moisture as well.You can find this at Walmart in the hardware dept. I made bird houses with plastic water bottles in Feb. They are all still hanging and together to this day.
Thank you so much for posting the information about glues!! It's very confusing as to which glues one should use for different projects! Now for a question for you (I too love my glue gun and use it for most everything!! Don't like burning my fingers but those rubber finger things really do work!!!!) I don't think I really want to use the E600 (even though other crafters rave & swear by it and they say it works great) I purchased a tube then read the label. For me too many concerns of fumes, the cancer warnings & other issues. What is another glue that I could purchase at Wally World and has less issues?? Thank you for your help! :)
For application of gluing seed beeds in bulk to a page, I used something ages ago and for the life of me cant remember what it was! I squeezed out some of the glue onto an altered book page, poured tons of seed beeds on top-- they settled in, the glue dried clear and it was stunning! Was it glossy accents? or beed glue---ugh! What would you use in that situation...apparently Ive lost my memory! THANKS AGAIN from the pacific northwest--Washington!
OMG I love your videos, I have a question. I really need your help Please, I need your help. Can I glue cured polymer clay to pebble art and paint stretched cotton canvases? What kind of glue can I use for this???
I use e600 on stuff that MUST stay on...super for heavy thick items! And I have used it for years...its my go-to for those pesky parts that wont stay with all the other glues. I ALWAYS ALWAYS have it on hand. m ichaels with your coupon is cheap--also believe it or not, your local home improvement stores should ALSO have it and not a bad price. You should follow the video's recommendation as to put some on, and let it "tack - up" a little. Walk away , go get coffee, feed the dog, then when you come back, you stick it on. AMAZING stuff! ((Ive also heard that "household goop" is AMAZING like e6000 too but have never tried it.E6000 though is a winna!!
luminor007 it dries clear and permanently but you wouldn't need e 6000 for fabric to canvas... heavy body gel medium would work (check out Marta's work with canvas and fabric.. it's one of her favorite methods.. she uses gel medium and even Gesso. #maremismallart. She's on you tube under the same name maremismallart.) Lots of people swear by FabriTac by Beacon also. I've never used it but it's supposed to be great. For e6000, I used it to glue a wood door onto an altered book cover (pine, craft style, about 10" x 4") once it dried, that baby wasn't budging. ( have pics on scrapbook.com under smedina146 off you want to see how big it was.) You might be interested in checking out the glue site that lists all the glued called, This To That (www.thistothat.com) whatever you choose, we wish good luck on your piece :)
I am a Chemical Engineer ,I make Acid Free Glue, and can advise on Archiveival problems for books and documents, I am quite ipressed on talk on glues by you Best regards Ghulam Abbas Cyclewala
Hi Lindsay! You obviously have not tried THE BEST GLUE EVER™! We would be excited to send you some to try. Of course how are you going to update your vid when you discover your very favorite glue???? it's been unavailable for months and months. There is a bottle on Ebay for over $70! The one that was over $20 sold. CRAZY.You wouldn't believe the emails we're getting: "Desperate! Need your Best Glue Ever™". The good news is it's coming back in January, so email use if you'd like to try it!
Too funny to run into this tonight. I was going to go to your site and ask you what you had the best luck with on attaching paper layers for cards. You said the double stick tape from Scotch. Well that is what I've been using also and I'm not having the best luck with it sticking after it's completely dried. I try to put it right up to the edges but after a while I still find that quite often it's popped away from the card base. I may try that Tombow, I have heard a lot about that also. Thanks for all of your videos and hard work. You really inspire me and I have to admit, when I want to find out something new I always come look for you. :) Thanks so much!!
thanks Sue but honestly, the thing I really changed was studio lighting ha ha, what a difference is right. I don't ear contacts, I just take off my glasses, I have a mild astigmatisim so my eyesight is not that poor, I will get headaches if I go all day without wearing them though:)
+thefrugalcrafter Lindsay Weirich I agree. Blonde looks great on you. I also noticed you did not talk about your ATG.I have been going back and forth on whether or not to buy one. Their expensive, and then some only take certain size tape. I'm having trouble with rolls like scotch sticking before needed and getting things stuck on them before use without protective stripes. Help Please!
I did not have it back then, I really like it but I get the acid free scrapbooking tape at Tape Depot because if you get a case it is only $1.15 a roll vs $10 for 2 rolls at the craft store. Also I made cardboard wheels to go over the tape from a cracker box to keep the tape from going off the rails.
HELP.... In Need of Direction!!! I hope you can help me! I'm using stickers on clay pots (pots used for succulents & cactus's), how can I keep them on the pot and seal them, so they don't ruin when it gets watered? I have scrolled thru RUclips for hours trying to find some direction and I've given up!! I have an idea, but I figured I'd ask first to see if it's close, before I ruin anything. Sticking and sealing decorations to clay pots, (used for plants). Can you help me with this one? Thank you very much and ~••~H•A•P•P•Y~••~ ~••~C•R•A•F•T•I•N•G~••~ Ellen
+Ellen Greer-Spencer that is a tough one, seal the pot with clear sealer and let dry. Suck on the stickers and apply another coat if sealer. Use an exterior sealer or it might turn milky white when you water the plants
o dear, is that just 5-6 years old, there is a slow and almost older lindsay... I think i like the Lindsay you are today... I thing i jump over to the today Lindsay *S*

I'm not a crafter, I found this video to be extremely useful. Many of us don't use glues properly. Thanks for sharing.

Cool! how do you crackle with Elmers? I'd love to know! I forgot to mention it in the video but I mix Elmers and viniger to make envelope glue, paint it on a homemade envie and let it dry then you can lick and stick the envie shut.
One FYI: yes, Elmer's is a PVA glue, BUT, it's a relatively low-quality one. The best quality PVA is Books by Hand PVA. It doesn't have the fillers that Elmer's does. It does cost quite a lot more than Elmer's, but TANSTAAFL
I found this very very helpful. I stood in front of the glue rack and was totally confused.Thank for your wonderfully helpful vids.

I love the glue dots made with the Aleene's glue...believe it or not they hold much better than the ones you buy in the store!

THANKS FOR THAT---Well spent 8minutes! :-) Thanks for all your videos and being so generous with your time. You are appreciated!
As a nascent crafter, I found this very helpful. Thank you, so much.
Lindsay, I want to thank you for all your help.
Hi Lindsay, how about a new video on craft glues?
This is a great list. Thank you!
Which glues are archival for scrapbooking and other family history projects?
Just look for acid free and archival on the tube.thete are too many to list.
Hey, great tips here! I was just wondering why you like the tombow aqua glue better than the white kind? I have the white kind and it seems to work good, but wonder what am I missing! :) tia
I love these types of videos! Thanks for being our Guinea Pig! 💯❤😚
I think I used 2 table spoons glue to 1 table spoon vinegar.
This is the very video I was going to beg you to make. Perfect!! Thank you so much!
Very informative video. Thank you... One quick question what software you use to edit your video. love the way you have the youtube logo to sub to your channel.
Lindsay, I have used Yes Paste for book binding. I love it. My question is, can you use it for sticking down gilding flakes?
I think so as long as the moisture dosnt tarnish it
I looked up the Tack-It Over and Over on Michael's website and they say it is a temporary adhesive. I'd like to make glue dots, like you suggested, for cardmaking.

Thanks!! Ordered UV6800 instead. Good advise!!!! But honestly, Lindsay has nice knockers.
Having a Lindsay binge watch session. Lol!
Very helpful video Lindsay!!! Thank you very much for sharing!!! Hugs Liz x
Lol .. Love your video's but you talk so fast I keep backing it up and still don't know what you're saying .. You're awesome! Keep the videos coming ...
I had the same problem at first. Just keep watching her vids. You'll get used to it! 👍💗
Do you have the recipe that oyu use to mix the glue and viniger together?
Hi Lindsay where do you buy the tom bow aqua precision glue? Nice vid by the way!😄
here you go: amzn.to/2hbur8s
What about Mod Podge? Do you ever use that for anything?
I use it for collage and for art journaling glue
Very very informative. Thank you Lindsay. One question I watched one of your videos that had gum Arabic in it. I can't seem to find it. Can you point me in the right direction? It was a diy type video. Thank you so very much. Love your videos.
I like the liquid gum arabic by DaVinci, it is cheaper than others.
Probably nothing but I think the clear is in a bigger bottle LOL!
What glue would be best for little foam shapes to craft with kids? Tfs😊
they make a craft foam glue for that:)
Thank you. Good info and very nice delivery. ROC
Can you do something on those hidden magnetic snap people use in scrapbooking and albums
I was hoping you would mention the glue you used with your envelope making "machine". You used a gun with what looked like two sided sticky tape. Please let me know what works best as I just received the envelope maker as a result of your deomo. Thanks, Lindsay.
Sue Barker I did not have that when I made this video years ago, it is an ATG gun:)
Hi, brilliant video sooo helpful for me as a beginner lol. Could you help me with which glue would I use for foil transferring please.... thank you
Hello Lindsay,
Thanks for this video. Would you be open to making a video exclusively for non-paper surfaces? I'd love to hear your favs in that category!
Can you rank these 5 glues in terms of performance (different uses): E6000, Gorilla (expands, good for damp surfaces), Elmer's (might come off?), glue gun (are there different types of glue sticks?), super glue (are they made equal?)
Sorry about my barrage of questions. I want to buy a good all around glue to add to my toolbox :)

I thought about that.. but I was thinking that the hot glue wouldn't spread nice and thin enough to form a consistent film and would create bumps underneath it and cause whatever sets on top of it to not be level. Do you have any other ideas for a slower drying glue that would spread thinner?? I even thought about those spray adhesives?? any thoughts?
Hi, I like to know what would you recommand to glue pants hem (folded)? The glue in sticks seems interesting so is liquid glue. Done it with ribbons and didn't liked it. Too much work and didn't last (could be wrong iron temperature). I'm looking for ease of use and as permanent as possible (someone even mentionned some E6000).
thanks
Interesting video BTW.
Fabric-tac
@@thefrugalcrafter That was a quick answer 😉
BTW, in your blog, you mention E600 glue but I wonder if it's actually E6000.
Take care
Thank You Lindsey I was not to sure about glue's you sure have help me out, thank you for Sharing! Got to say it again loves your video's Hugs Liz

Hi,Lindsay I would like to know what is the best glue for Gem Stones on fabrics like denim. Thanks

So.. I have a question. I got two containers of Golden Gels. One soft gloss and one regular matte. I noticed I am having a time trying to find a white writing utensil that will be opaque enough when drawn onto the gloss so far. Do you have any experience with writing, coloring, painting per etc over either of these gels? Thanks for you input.
free2danz1960 maybe a Posca paint pen, that should work and available in lots of colors.
ok thanks so much for your help!
Thank you so much for this video, very informative. But I still don't know which glue to use when i glue down a beautiful image without getting the ripples and lumps. I'm gluing an image that i printed out with my ink jet printer to card stock or the cover of a junk journal or book board. Can you please help me decide which glue would be less likely to cause ripples and lumps?
I like yes paste
@@thefrugalcrafter I am vary grateful, thank you
Hi, you're definitely the most expert in glue i've been searching so far..hopefully you can help me. i'm making many nice origami (folding paper) and want to stick them on a cardboard; then will frame it to put in my living room (and the size of the frame would be pretty big). so for decor purposes, really needs to be acid free (so it doesn't damage my origami papers neither the cartboard; and i need them to stick "forever"; as I wouldn't want them to start falling apart in a few years or something...what is the best glue i should use? i bought the elmer rubber cement (As per the sales person) and surprisingly it almost doesn't stick any of my origami!!! :( I've also seen glue-dots and seems very convenient...are they durable?
Rabbity glue dots are pretty good, strong and archival so it might be a good bet! I'd still frame them under glass so you can protect delicate papers.
thanks for the quick response! really appreciate it! i bought the glue dots and super gel (like carzy glue) and will do some testings! :D
I know this video is from 2012, but I was wondering if you had a suggestion for wreaths? I recently made a silk floral wreath & I used a hot glue gun. Put it on our front door and found the flowers falling off the other day (a hot day). Do you have a suggestion what would keep the flowers on? The wreaths I use are typically like a wood but sometimes I use the Styrofoam ones.
on styrofiam you could add a strait or "T" pin to secure the flowers after gluing, on wood maybe you could find a discreet area you could put a staple. I am surprised the flowers were falling off with hot glue but if it gets really hot I suppose it could. Also Helmar 450 is a wonderful quick dry glue that might do the trick, I use it for plastic, cloth, ribbon etc, it does not seep through even thin satin ribbon and sets up quick. It is thick and almost like a hot glue, it is pricy but great!
thefrugalcrafter . Thanks for the response. I've made wreaths before for friends with hot glue & had no problems. I think our door might be part of the issue...it's directly in sun for the warmer months. I think I'll look on amazon & try that Helmar glue, worth a shot!
wow! im going to try the tack-it, it sounds awesome! tfs
interesting video, which would you use to attach acrylic to metal and which for plastic to plastic (like soda caps for both plastics) that are strong please?
e600, goop or liquid welder
oh i see thanks, what stores would normally have those? and which for which project?
Hi which glue do you recommend for gluing intricate die cuts to glitter card? Thanks 😊
+Harper Smythe there are several options with fine tip bottles. Stsmpin up had a great one but if you don't use it often it will clog so I usually use the tombow mono adhesive because it is fine enough to place small drops if glue but not so fine it clogs.
Hi thanks for replying. i'll give the Tombow a try. 👍🏻😊
What glue would be best for outside.I make birdhouses & use pinecone parts for the roofThanks
+kent gulley I think you could use a thick wood glue for that, try gorilla wood glue or if that is not thick enough Harbor freight brand is really thick.
Thanks
Liquid nails. It's good for extreme temperatures and moisture as well.You can find this at Walmart in the hardware dept. I made bird houses with plastic water bottles in Feb. They are all still hanging and together to this day.
Thank you so much for posting the information about glues!! It's very confusing as to which glues one should use for different projects! Now for a question for you (I too love my glue gun and use it for most everything!! Don't like burning my fingers but those rubber finger things really do work!!!!)
I don't think I really want to use the E600 (even though other crafters rave & swear by it and they say it works great) I purchased a tube then read the label. For me too many concerns of fumes, the cancer warnings & other issues. What is another glue that I could purchase at Wally World and has less issues?? Thank you for your help! :)
i probably missed it but how can i stick rhinestones on my backpack cheapest option pls!
ruki Apple1234 Try Jewel It or Gem Tack glue
Thank you for the answer to my question! Now I know what to go buy! :-)
Great video and info , thanks !
Thank you, very informative! I took notes :) Really needed some of this info. Good job! :') Christine
Hi can you show us how to refill the tambo glue with Elmers thanks
Ink That Card take off the wide appicator end and pour it it:)
ok thank you i will try it tonight
Hi, I thought I watched a video where you mentioned aileens fabritac, and beacons, that you can use like glossy accents. Is that correct?
+cristina jones Fabritac instead of glossy accents for sequins, mod-podge for just adding shine.
Thank you! although, I bought the wrong kind 3 different times. SMH TFA!!!!
For application of gluing seed beeds in bulk to a page, I used something ages ago and for the life of me cant remember what it was! I squeezed out some of the glue onto an altered book page, poured tons of seed beeds on top-- they settled in, the glue dried clear and it was stunning! Was it glossy accents? or beed glue---ugh! What would you use in that situation...apparently Ive lost my memory! THANKS AGAIN from the pacific northwest--Washington!
probably glossy accents:)
AWESOME info! Thanks!
OMG I love your videos, I have a question. I really need your help Please, I need your help. Can I glue cured polymer clay to pebble art and paint stretched cotton canvases? What kind of glue can I use for this???
+Sandra Ekhoff probably an epoxy glue
What kind of glue can I use on fringes o a pocho so they don't fray thankyou so much
+Judy Serra fray check by dritz
SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO vary helpful, grate idea for a video.
Could you please tell me which glue is stronger ? Crazy glue or E6000 glue ? thank you :) !
+Star buono e6000 but takes longer to dry?
I use e600 on stuff that MUST stay on...super for heavy thick items! And I have used it for years...its my go-to for those pesky parts that wont stay with all the other glues. I ALWAYS ALWAYS have it on hand. m ichaels with your coupon is cheap--also believe it or not, your local home improvement stores should ALSO have it and not a bad price. You should follow the video's recommendation as to put some on, and let it "tack - up" a little. Walk away , go get coffee, feed the dog, then when you come back, you stick it on. AMAZING stuff! ((Ive also heard that "household goop" is AMAZING like e6000 too but have never tried it.E6000 though is a winna!!
luminor007 it dries clear and permanently but you wouldn't need e 6000 for fabric to canvas... heavy body gel medium would work (check out Marta's work with canvas and fabric.. it's one of her favorite methods.. she uses gel medium and even Gesso. #maremismallart. She's on you tube under the same name maremismallart.) Lots of people swear by FabriTac by Beacon also. I've never used it but it's supposed to be great. For e6000, I used it to glue a wood door onto an altered book cover (pine, craft style, about 10" x 4") once it dried, that baby wasn't budging. ( have pics on scrapbook.com under smedina146 off you want to see how big it was.) You might be interested in checking out the glue site that lists all the glued called, This To That (www.thistothat.com) whatever you choose, we wish good luck on your piece :)
COOL!
Great information. ...Thank you😀
I am a Chemical Engineer ,I make Acid Free Glue, and can advise on Archiveival problems for books and documents, I am quite ipressed on talk on glues by you Best regards Ghulam Abbas Cyclewala
Thanks for the great info!!
Hi Lindsay! You obviously have not tried THE BEST GLUE EVER™! We would be excited to send you some to try. Of course how are you going to update your vid when you discover your very favorite glue????
it's been unavailable for months and months. There is a bottle on Ebay for over $70! The one that was over $20 sold. CRAZY.You wouldn't believe the emails we're getting: "Desperate! Need your Best Glue Ever™". The good news is it's coming back in January, so email use if you'd like to try it!
Great tips!!!thanks
Great advice
Too funny to run into this tonight. I was going to go to your site and ask you what you had the best luck with on attaching paper layers for cards. You said the double stick tape from Scotch. Well that is what I've been using also and I'm not having the best luck with it sticking after it's completely dried. I try to put it right up to the edges but after a while I still find that quite often it's popped away from the card base. I may try that Tombow, I have heard a lot about that also. Thanks for all of your videos and hard work. You really inspire me and I have to admit, when I want to find out something new I always come look for you. :) Thanks so much!!
Lori McGarrity aww, thanks:)
la colle en baton je l utilise piour le serviettage , c est génial , pas de bulle

Thank you

Hello just watch your episode on glues. I was wondering what is a good glue for fabric and vinyl. I need the glue to be bendable.
+Guy Hiebert I like fabrictac or gemtac by beacon I think
Cannot get tack it over and over
+Su B try joann.com
Hi Lindsey
thanks for sharing your video I learned a lot I must say you are a cutie
have a BLESSED DAY TTYL
Sal
you sure look better since you lightened your hair and started wearing contacts
thanks Sue but honestly, the thing I really changed was studio lighting ha ha, what a difference is right. I don't ear contacts, I just take off my glasses, I have a mild astigmatisim so my eyesight is not that poor, I will get headaches if I go all day without wearing them though:)
+thefrugalcrafter Lindsay Weirich I agree. Blonde looks great on you. I also noticed you did not talk about your ATG.I have been going back and forth on whether or not to buy one. Their expensive, and then some only take certain size tape. I'm having trouble with rolls like scotch sticking before needed and getting things stuck on them before use without protective stripes. Help Please!
I did not have it back then, I really like it but I get the acid free scrapbooking tape at Tape Depot because if you get a case it is only $1.15 a roll vs $10 for 2 rolls at the craft store. Also I made cardboard wheels to go over the tape from a cracker box to keep the tape from going off the rails.
Thank you so much.
You forgot Aleene's tacky glue!
Thank you now I no wut glow to yos😍😁😍
HELP....
In Need of Direction!!!
I hope you can help me! I'm using stickers on clay pots (pots used for succulents & cactus's), how can I keep them on the pot and seal them, so they don't ruin when it gets watered?
I have scrolled thru RUclips for hours trying to find some direction and I've given up!! I have an idea, but I figured I'd ask first to see if it's close, before I ruin anything.
Sticking and sealing decorations to clay pots, (used for plants). Can you help me with this one?
Thank you very much and ~••~H•A•P•P•Y~••~
~••~C•R•A•F•T•I•N•G~••~
Ellen
+Ellen Greer-Spencer that is a tough one, seal the pot with clear sealer and let dry. Suck on the stickers and apply another coat if sealer. Use an exterior sealer or it might turn milky white when you water the plants
