Glue for Wordbooks

Post by tbtags »

Does anyone have any ideas what type of glue to use to glue your wordbooks together? I've used quick dry adhesives but they all warp the chipboard and paper.. help please
Thanks

I've been having success with a Scotch ATG dispenser and tape. I use it for the most part when I want things to be very secure and remain flat and wrinkle-free (e. g. mini-albums). I bought the tape gun online and the glue tape can be purchased in bulk. The 1/4 inch tape seems to meet most of my needs. I also have Tacky Tape, but I use it sparingly as it is very expensive. I'm sure others will share their ideas also.

I have to second the atg. I also get the acid free 1/4 inch tape online.

I am using a spray glue right now. There are no areas that don't get covered, it allows you time to position it, and it dries fast without warping anything. The only down side is that it is a bit messy so I keep newspaper and an old box around, put the item in there and spray away.

Glue doesn't work for me. Small pieces just fall off after a while so I use
Xyron 900, 510, 250 and the X for large to small pieces. And the ATG gun for Runners. I have to admit I haven't used my small tape runners in a long time. Might give them to granddaughters.
