Glue

The glue included in our DIY kits is more than adequate for easy assembly of parts. However we would like to introduce you Aleene's Super Thick Tacky Glue and Grandmother Stover's Glue as an excellent alternatives for different adhesive purposes.



Aleene's Super Thick Tacky Glue


Aleene's Super Thick Tacky Glue is superior on paper, fabric, wood and most plastics, and ideal for gluing hard-to-hold items. The thick consistency allows precision positioning. This glue will not run and will dry clear with flexibility.  These properties save you time holding components waiting for the glue to dry, allowing you to move ahead quickly onto the next task.


Grandmother Stover's Glue


Grandmother Stover's Glue is a fantastic adhesive for applying wallpapers carpets and floors, and "will not curl, wrinkle or discolour any material" as it says. Slightly thin the glue by mixing with very little amount of warm water, or even hot water in winter and brush evenly over the paper. Lay on the paper starting from one edge and use an old credit card as a spreader to smooth out the paper gently to ensure bubbles are not captured under the paper.
