7 thoughts on “Stuck on Adhesives? Here’s What You Need to Know!”

  1. I have been using the Snail for over 5 years with no problems. I ordered last month 10 refills which should last me a long time.

  2. I used the Tombow green glue on making flowers and putting the petals together if the glue wasn’t attached to another paper petal and left, the glue stayed sticky. I found if you don’t cover the glue it stays sticky. works good when covered. Other glues will dry to the touch. hope I don’t have you confused. I see why they use Tombow attached to your stamp when it has lost its stick.

  3. I’m crazy about the new Stampin’ Seal+. Talk about SUPER HOLD on my 3-D projects.

  4. I have been using Tombo multipurpose glue for years and prefer it over the others. Just a small amount goes a long way. I have never had my cards come apart like they did with others. I make a lot of cards and have some cards for a couple of years. Those cards remain just like new.

    • Hi Rebecca,

      Stampin’ Up! does a great job on the video.  I personally still love runner adhesives (like Snail and Seal) and Multi-Purpose Liquid Glue for daily use.  However, I add Stampin’ dimensionals to almost every card (also an essential).
