Oh my gosh - this has got to be the most rigorous, scientific testing of paper crafting glues I have ever seen!!! **AMAZING** **USEFUL** **5 STARS** ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Julie here, hello from Tennessee USA.
Sam I don’t know if you’ll see this or not two years after you posted this video but THANK YOU!
I couldn’t understand why I was getting so much warping with my cards. Now I know.
I’m new to card making and crafting and love your videos! They have helped so much!
Thank you and God bless. ❤️
Thank You ! I am in the U.S. and have only used Aleenes glue, I always wondered how the Art Glitter glue compared to it and was quite happy to learn in your video that it was actually better than Art Glitter glue. I don't like the nozzle on Aleenes so what I did was go to craft store and in the paint section found some bottles with tiny metal nibs on them and filled them with my aleenes glue! It works Wonderfully! Thank you for your videos, I love them so much and LEARN so much!!
Alene’s products have stood the test of time.
Always loved my collal glue except when it gets on my nail varnish 😊. Started using Tonic Crafty Tacky Glue. Plastic nozzle but standing it on it's head I've had little problems with it drying out. Very pleased so far. Love the whole video. Thanks
I also like the Pinflair Book Binding glue and the Nuvo pen glue comes in different sizes.
Most informative. My favourite glue is Ranger Multi Media Matte because if it oozes out you don't see it when it's dry because it's not shiny. It's also very strong. Will even hold embellishments.
I've had it before but ran out a long time ago, one to use again for sure :)
Glue makes all the difference....thanks for going through all of them. Late to the game here but still very helpful.
Hello Sam, thank you for this informative video. I absolutely love Collal All Purpose glue for mats and layers. I do use Collal tacky glue which I decant into precision tip glue bottles for adding all my embellishments. With tacky glue let it go for a few seconds to get it tacky. It will hold all your 3D items like buttons and bows!
That's a really useful tip for tacky glue and embellishments - must remember that. Thanks! I need to find my precision tip bottles - I'm sure I've got some somewhere in the mess that I call my studio lol!
Hi, I purchased the Collall All Purpose glue, love it. I also love
Tombow glue. I purchased Beacon Fabri-Tac glue at Joann Fabrics and it
works like the Collall. Love all your videos and ideas!
Wow great tutorial.. you put a great deal of work into creating it and researching all those glues.. thank you so much..
Thank you, I'm glad you found it useful :)
Great comparison - thanks! I was a huge fan of tombow (when with SU)so grateful for the multibuy link-thankyou! I went onto Art Glitter Glue - but now found tubs of PINFLAIR BOOK BINDING glue which I decant into other holders with the use of a fine tip nozzle works well & cheaper too!
Tracey Rickett, pva bookbinding Glue is the best! Super strong and flexible, and archival safe. 👍
Sam! On the Art Glitter glue..you can glue a little round magnet on the side of the bottle and it will hold your pin while you are using it! Saw that on TH-cam...
Brilliant idea! I've lost so many pins over the years...thank you!
I use the Collal and the Nuvo premium, I love both. I do have a pot of the Ranger matt medium and like that also for attaching flowers etc to cards as it holds well. Xxxxxxx
I live in Canada and we have a different selection of glues. *suggestion: use an old gift card or piece of plastic as a squeegee to spread the glue*
Thanks Sam, this is one of the most useful and informative videos I've seen comparing adhesives :)
Thank you for this video. You answered som many questions I had. I’m new to this hobby of paper crafting and I loved that you made that chart. Thank you again from Kissimmee, Florida… USA
Finally I found your glue tutorial I love your willingness to share honest opinions and views while doing it with tact and grace
Bless you
A much needed information on glues. I’m fairly new to paper crafting & disliked when paper bowed now I know. 💚
Thank you so much for this comparison video. Really helpful tips. I like the Original high-tack glue and (with a bit of fuss) decant it into precision tip mini bottles for intricate bits. I couldn't understand why some of my cards warped.I glued fun foam between layers so used more of it and it warped both base card and panel on the top. I found it so frustrating. Now I know why. I only make cards and bits for family and friends but I still want the layers to lay flat! I really enjoy your videos you make such unique things. I like lots of the American you tube channels but it is nice to get information about shops I use here in the UK. I used your idea of the gardening crate. I made a sewing box and a tool box, I was so thrilled with them. They took me sooo long! Thanks again
Thank you so much. A video like this is priceless. 🌺
Well done Sam. Great video. It's so informative, with great tips. It's good to see videos like this as crafting is so much more than just putting projects together. It's good to know what works and what doesn't. Thank you
Thank you for doing this for us. Years ago I made some cards with glue (I can't remember which one I used.) The next day they were warped a lot. Since then I have stayed away from using glue on my cards. You did very good in your demonstration on different glues.
A good comparison of adhesives. I can tell you that I have been using Anita’s tacky glue for years in precision tip bottles and it is great. No warping and lasts for ages!!!
Awesome glue comparison video. I still love my Art glitter glue. I have used it to hold my pressed wood organizers and over one year they are still rock solid. A very little goes a long way so I never get any warping when I use it. Oh just so you know the Aleen’s upside down bottles that stand up in cap. We get those here in Montreal too. They sell them at our Michaels. Not sure if it in all of Canada. But I was able to buy one at very inexpensive cost and I do love it as well.
Thank you for sharing!
Thank you Sam. You don't know how much this video has helped. Glues are so hard for me to decide what I want and I keep getting glues to try and am then frustrated. This was so helpful to me. ANd the video that you did for how to care for your , and clean your equipment. Love the rings you wear as well.
Thanks Sam great video. I used nuvo deluxe I love it. It has a quick grab, I was using Anita before so glad I discovered Nuvo deluxe 😊
Wonderful comparison video. I have used Art Glitter Adhesive for the past two years. However after watching your reviews, I bought a bottle of Beacon Advanced Craft Glue from Michaels. I have used it for the past two weeks and I believe it will be my new glue of choice. Thank You so much again for this tutorial.
Glad it was helpful!
Interesting video! Never have seen sooooo many glues reviewed so well...and so many I've never heard of too! That Collall glue looks like something I'd like to try, but it's REALLY expensive in the US when you factor in shipping costs. Sticking with my Lawn Fawn/Gina Connect glue...they really are the same except Lawn Fawn is available on Amazon for a lot less! Thank you for the video!!
great video Sam. Noticed a few people commenting on the needle nose applicator bottles you can get on ebay/Amazon....be very cautious, I have bought SEVERAL & they all block within one week, regardless of a lid or using a pin. x
this was a great tutorial of glues ..learnt a lot ..thanks Sam
The precision tips can be bought by them self under quilling tools. Beacon 3 in 1 craft glue is acetone based and very good. Ranger's matte medium holds very well and has a matte finish. Thanks for the video!
Hi Sam, great comparison video, very helpful to see your swatches. I personally use Tombow although have just ordered some colall to try. Top tip - when the stampin up fine tip bottle is empty I fill with Tombow so I have an even finer application. Love your videos. X
I wont be getting rid of that bottle! Thanks for the tip :)
Have you done an updated video of glues since this video? I would also be interested in which one is the strongest and the time they take to dry.
That would be a good thing to do as I sure that GinaK has made a change to her glue.
Hey Sam....girl, you 'rocked' these product reviews on liquid glues! I can't express enough how much I appreciate this informative video. My number one 'pet peeve' with liquid glue is the warping, however, what I do love about it is the fact that when compared to dry adhesive, you have a little playtime to move things about for exact placement. I've searched Amazon (Canada) for the Collall AP Glue but unfortunately they don't have it. If there are any Canadians out there who have found a liquid adhesive that does not warp paper (or know of a Canadian online store where I can purchase the Collall), I'd love to hear from you. Thanks, so much, Sam!
By the way, anyone who is interested, you can just buy the glue tip on its on, ART INSTITUTE GLITTER METAL TIP PRECISION WRITING TOOL on Amazon (Canada) but I'm sure it would be available at other online stores as well. Just 'stick with it' and I'm sure you'll find them somewhere LOL!
Thank you so much. Jan
Thank you for sharing - I learnt about some glues I hadn't heard of. The Collall is not available in this part of the world. I think another issue with glue is the temperature - here in HK it is humid, so that can affect the glue - I know the humidity has affected some of my double sided tapes, rendering them non-sticky. I do like and use the Tonic Glue that you didn't review. I also like the Tombow but have not been using it much lately in preference for the others.(don't like that it is such a small bottle for the cost) - there is a larger bottle available, but it is hard to get. I also use the Simon Says Stamp glue and also bought the Aleenes (I like this one too) and the Art Glitter to try. With the Tombow, the Tonic and the SSS glues, they are white glues and they get gloopy for want of a better term and this makes it hard to push out of the bottle so definitely not good for anyone who has issues with strength in their hands. The Tonic is especially bad in this way - using the pin and cleaning the hole doesn't always work. I decanted it and the SSS into a smaller bottle, but that is even worse and I am squeezing so hard I think any harder and I will break the plastic bottle and spray the glue everywhere, so it just sits tip down. It is great exercise for the hands though I suppose. With the Art Glitter, it is also reactive to extreme temperatures - so much so that they won't ship it in the winter, so that is also something to consider, as is where you store it if you live in a place that gets cold. You certainly don't want your glue to freeze on you!!
Brilliant. I buy collall by the gallon and just refill the old bottles. The hi tack glue is good for glueing foam Rose's on polystyrene bears. Only use the art glitter glue for precision x
Where do you get Collall by the gallon? I want to purchase some and have not found any. Am in Washington state
@@melvaloudrury7996 I buy it from a company called Opitec in the UK. X
Amazing video...thank you for the recommendations...I can't get some of them but it is a great starting point. I made cards over 20 years ago and got out of it after losing all my stamps...then I found my British magazines that came with stamps etc...then bought a HUGE haul of supplies including about $500.00 of just stamps for less than $150.00...I made a card for a friend for their birthday and everyone is telling me to make more...,(sorry that was so long winded) by watching your videos I am learning more so am feeling more comfortable with the plans to make cards...Thank you so much for sharing...love and hugs from a VERY snow stormy Nova Scotia Canada
Thank you v helpful… gonna get some collall and look for some precision tips for my cheap glue bottle x
Just found this- love it. Can't believe Zip Dry Glue isn't in here though!
Good review Sam. I'm a glue snob lol, yes Collall is really good, I always use it when making albums from chipboard, the papers just lay flat against the board, so smooth. I've tried Tombow, I do like it but yes I get annoyed with it lol. I'm using Art glitter glue the last couple of months, I do like because it's strong and quick drying but I don't use it on a large space, I don't get on with Anita's glue or the Tonic tacky. They do warp and leave bumps. I'm using a glue from the company called Mountain Ash at the moment. It's a tacky glue, it's not quick drying like the glitter glue but seems to work ok on large areas but I'm still trialing it. But I would have to agree that Collall is the best. Xx
Thank you Sam, I have learned a lot about glues, up untill six months ago I used Cosmic Shimmer glue, then I discovered Collal glue and have never looked back, just love it. TFS x
Excellent video….very helpful
I have taken other glues, added a tiny bit of water and put into an empty art glitter glue bottle and had excellent success
I too hate the fact that I have to keep up with the pin
This is really great, especially as it's UK based. Thank you! I have been struggling with wet glues for ages. They always seem to dry up in the tip, and the bottles are too hard to squeeze, and I can't get a thin enough line. I was looking at Collall All-Purpose and thought it looked good, so it's great to hear such a good review of it from you. I am making albums and hope that it would be strong enough for this. I use double-sided tape combined with glue stick (gives you some wiggle time) for matting and layering but this isn't strong enough for construction or where there's any strain on the join.
For collage work I use either gel medium or a high-quality glue stick. I recently acquired a colour laser printer which is going to help a lot - inkjet will run if you use a water-based glue or medium on it. Gel medium also seems to react with the ink and make it change colour. The Collall All-Purpose would probably be good in that situation.
This is such a great review - could you also show us which glues are best for construction and collage work? There's so much more than matting and layering involved in our creative work!
Hello Shoshi Platypus . Collall glue is my go to for most of my projects. I also use A quick grab glue called Cosmic Shimmer as well. Hope this helps you 😊
@@MixedUpCraft Thanks so much for your reply, Sam. I'm definitely going to try the Collall. My "upside down" Aileen's tacky glue arrived today. I ordered it before seeing your review and was sorry to hear that the bottle is rather hard to squeeze - at least the glue will be in the right place to start with, though!! Again, a really excellent review, and very timely for me! Thanks again.
@@MixedUpCraft Update on my glue situation. Thanks to your fabulous review of the glues, and your recommendation, I am now a complete convert to the Collal glue! I bought a couple of fine line glue bottles from the USA (with the pin in the lid that keeps the fine nozzle clear) - they took ages to come so it was a while before I got going. My glueing life has been totally revolutionised! I have struggled with glues for years and find most bottles too hard to squeeze and the nozzles are too thick. The Collal bottle does have a very wide nozzle but the glue is runny enough to go in a fine tipped bottle and I can't believe how easy it is. I'm now glueing like a pro!
I love how it doesn't buckle the paper, and it will stick anything! I am using it to stick fabric and fibres as well as paper and it's brilliant in every way.
One thing I love about the Collal is that if you get any squeezing out the sides, you can rub it away while it's still wet and it just balls up and comes away leaving no mark. The only slight drawback is the smell but I've really got used to this now, so it's not a problem.
Thank you soooo much again for this review - you have comletely solved a seriously ongoing and horrible struggle I've had for years with glue!!
Thanks for all your great tutorials (my most watched & saved!😉) I stopped looking for glued when I started using my Art Glitter Glue. I’ve never had a warping issue with it because it dries so fast. I prefer my glues, including the Art Glitter, in the small, inexpensive needle nose bottles available from EBay & AE. Even the Art Glitter precision tip isn’t small enough for me, & with the bottles that I use, they have the attached rubber lid, so I don’t have to use a pin. I don’t like Tombow because it dries tacky - defeats my purpose lol! Thanks for a great review!
Do I search needle nose bottle on ebay to find the bottles you refer to please?
A really good detailed review, thanks for sharing xxx
Thanks so very much for this. I do parchment craft as well as paper craft and the warping and blocking drives me crazy. So off to buy some Collal Multi Purpose Glue and some of those nibs. Great video as always. Much appreciate all your advice and how well you explain things. Also being a stroke victim it helps me so much when you go slower and the templates you do are so helpful. You are an all round fantastic artist/crafter.
Of all the different craft supplies, wet glues are the most difficult to get a handle on, for me. Thank you for this info, especially the tombow, and why I was making such dark smudges at the edges 🙄
Great comparisons! I worked in a US fabric/craft chain for ten years and my understanding of tacky glues is simply that there is less water in the formulation so it grabs and dries more quickly. It seems that Collal is not so easy to get in the US but I've seen a box/album maker on YT (sorry, don't remember which one) who uses Fabri-Tac with no warping and it's available at fabric/craft stores. Be advised that you may have to provide ID (over 18) to buy it, depending on where you live.
Thanks Sam. Very informative and very helpful 👍
Thank you for your information on glues.
I think I have tried so many glues, one seems to work for a while then!!
Don’t know if the change when they "age" but I am sure something happens.
For Box Making I use "strong" DST with a small amount of liquid glue to give a little wiggle room.
I don’t think I will ever find the "perfect" glue.
They all have their place, it’s getting the right one for the job on the day you need it.
You do a such a lot to help us ... Thank You 😊
Patricia x
Totally! every glue works well for something, by the end of the year I'm sure something else will come along and change my mind :) glad you found it informative and helpful :)
Brilliant honest glue review & full of useful information.
Thanks Sam 😃👍🏽😘❤️
Thank you so much, Sam. This has been SO helpful! I always wondered why I got warping when I used liquid glue. Hugs from the US. ♥️
TFS....good demo....good info! Aleen's tacky glue caused too much warping, so I switched to art glitter glue. It's good but that pin closure is a bit of a pain.
Excellent video. I preferred collal but had to go with cosmic shimmer as it has no odour or causes breathing issues. But the warping is annoying, esp as I know why now! Dratted allergies.
I use Anita's tacky glue. Although it does get clogged I haven't found too much warping because I use it sparingly. I also use Sailor 2 in 1 glue pen for precision sticking or tiny gems. I think I need to buy those precision nibs for the extra fine delivery. I also have used Collall photo glue which is good. Thanks for the glue test.
Brilliant. Thank you for your review ... I’m from Canada as well . Glue gears very expensive here. I contacted
Collall company in the Netherlands ... there advised me that Collall glue is now available in the US .. crafters companion
Very helpful, thank you. I love the Collall all purpose glue. It’s great to work with
Again..Great info. TY so much!
Sam, thank you for this review, it was very helpful. I have been trying to get art glitter glue since fall. When you showed what that little nib did, i am going to look for one of those. Thank you again, Chris
This video was quite helpful, thanks for sharing. Now I know why I get a bubbling effect
Thanks so much for this video. I’ve got the hate relationship with Tombow. Sorry. I have been an ArtGG fan for forever but maybe not anymore. Lol! Will try that Collall if I can get it in the USA. TFS!
Brilliant review thank you. ps you can buy empty bottles with precision nozzles from amazon if you’re interested 👍🏼 xx
This video was sooo informative and helpful, thank you so much 💖🇮🇪
I bought a different precision tip for my art glitter glue and it has a screw on top rather than using the pin. I like this glue since on white paper it doesn't show.
Would you want to share the screw on lid link. I would love to try it.
Thanks
Fay would you mind sharing a source for the screw on lid, I would love to try it.
I got my screw on top from a shop here in Canada called Scrap Chick. They have an online store. The cap is from a company called Scrapperfect. I bought the large for art glitter glue called no clog writer cap
Thanks for sharing very good information. I have seen people make pin charms so you don't lose your pin x x
Thanks so much for this very informative video! Some of these I have never heard of and I have been crafting for awhile! Just discovered the Collall and do love it and also use the Cosmic shimmer for attaching fine diecuts. Will be trying some others! By the way, I still use good old fashioned glue stick for layering cards! 😬
Thank you so much Sam.... Brilliant advice. Off to buy some collall 😀👏
Excellent review. Lots of great info! IMO Art Glitter Glue is overrated and too expensive.
Absolutely fantastic review Sam! Helped me immensely. I can easily get Collal glue locally and at a good price. Up until now the only reason I didn't want to try it was because it's solvent based. This made me wonder if it was archival or not. I know it's acid free but can't get the info on archival part, may be that's the same thing.
I use Anita glue atm and my tip is finer than yours. I don't have to use it a lot so my card doesn't warp.
I have a few stamps which have lost their tackyness. I think putting a thin layer of tombow glue on the back and letting it dry will help with it :)
Will you please do a similar review on coloured cardstock, specially black? Being here in Ireland I for some reaon find it difficult to get (smooth) black cardstock at a reasonable price.
Thanks for sharing Sam. :)
Love this. However the tombow aqua glue is quite good but again a water based glue.
The issue with solvent based is the smell and some you need to apply both side
Fantastic video Sally, very informative, thank you xx
Great comparison demo.
Great review of glue ❤ thanks for sharing your honesty xx
Great video, thanks for your time in putting it together, very informative.
Regards.
Awesome video. I've been using Pinflair Bookbinding glue now for maybe 2 year's but was looking to change. I had been looking at Collall & z to hubby to get me that next month when he gets paid but this has confirmed it's definitely gonna be my next glue purchase. Thanks Sam xo. PS... I'm in Newtownards Co. Down xo
Excellent, just what was needed, a really informative video. Thanks
Loads of sticky ideas and good information. Thanks for the informations. I do not believe we have the call all and “Dawn Bibby” or the “callow”. (Sp) Here in the US.
I may be wrong so I will have to look however I have a Stampin up demonstrator and there is a” Bearly there” Glue that in my opinion way better than “Art Glitter Glue”.
Hello and thank you for the awesome comparison video! I seem to use a gazillion glues myself and my favourite has been Art Glitter Glue. Maybe you are right about the precision tip. Question... Could you please tell me if the Collall has an odour? Great video!
Yes it does, but it doesn't last once dry
Thanks so much for this review, really informative. I have bought quite a lot of the glues you mentioned in this video the Tombo & aleens and I find them so hard to squeeze out, yes I do have grip issues. Cold you please link the glue remover/ rubber as I can find it in your listing. Thanks
A great tutorial< thank you so much. I was getting to the point of requesting you to do something on glues and I have learned so much.
I'm pleased you've found it helpful Krystyne :)
Thanks - very useful and helpful. Another Collal glue fan here.
Thank you for this. I’ve run out of Tombow that I love so have gone back to my other favourite Collall. Totally agree with you about this one. Was considering trying the Art Glitter glue but thanks to this video I will just stick (haha pardon the pun) to the 2 best ones. Thank you 😊
I now decanted the collal into another smaller bottle and used the metal precision tip and it works amazing. Glad you found the video useful :)
@@MixedUpCraft I bought some small bottles with these tips and have not got round to doing this ...will add it to todays todo list - thanks again :-)
Thank you Sam, very good video and advice, always difficult to know how a glue will work. I used to use Collall photo glue but are unable to get that now, I have recently purchased tombow from Amazon and must say, yes I am pleased with it. It is very difficult for me to get strong paper, 230 or such unless I buy a book for children to colour (ha ha) and postage from England is so high but non-the-less manage, thank you once again, pm
Hi Sam, thoroughly enjoyed this video, very informative. TYFS. Please take care and stay safe. ~Barbara
Thanks for that Sam. I have so many different ones ! I also like the nuvo glue that you didn't have. But don't like many of my others... I find the cosmic shimmer leaves lines showing through on the right side of paper, on even small bits. So not quite sure what to do with it then... But that was very helpful and informative, and I shall watch again later. Thanks for taking the time to do this.
I've found the metal precision tips scratch and caused lines, especially on mirrored card, i use DST for them bow. The collall tip is very smooth and dosent really touch the card which was good. I'm waiting for the Nuvo to come back into stock and along with the Ranger Matte and see how they work. Glad you found the video helpful :)

Hi Sam, Love your channel. Thanks for doing this video. I am in the US and I love the Collall glue. I am using it making a Mini album right now. Thanks again for sharing. Carol
Its amazing isn't it! I've just decanted mine into a smaller bottle with the metal precision tip and its even easier to use. :)
Crafty Carolina Gal where did you find this glue in the states? I didn’t see it on Amazon. Thanks.
@@susantobin719 Crafter's Companion web site
This is really good Sam. I actually bought the Aleenies glue after seeing you use it on your tutorials but I had to buy it in from the states. I also have the dawn bibby glue but it clogs which annoys me. I like the Collall but it does stink! I guess it’s because it’s acrylic
Hi Sam, thank you so much for this video, it has certainly been and huge eye opener for me, especially with the tombow glue. I have had loads of bottle of that over the years from Stampin up, and I just watched what you said about it now, where you took off the base ........ I never ever knew that about Tombow!!!!!! The times I have struggled ..... hahahahaha, do I ever feel silly now!¬ I just grabbed an old bottle I still have here and yes, there it was!!! To top it all, I had just stopped at this point to show my son, and then I noticed on the label ..... at the top it says fine tip, and at the bottom ..... yes .... yes .... it says BROAD TIP!
Having said that, I agree with you .... collall IS the best ..... apart from the smell!! my 2nd favourite it the Cosmic Shimmer Acrylic Glue. I have tried quite a few of those that you demonstrated, but only 3 I keep going back to and the 3rd one is .... Tombow!!!! As daft as I feel! lol! xx
Thank you for the infor. Yes I don’t like the wafting either. I’m going try the collall. I do love the tombow too they are pretty expensive.
Aleena tacky glue upside down I like too. Is pretty new , just came out.
Thank you :) I've had my Upside down bottle style for about 3 years now, its very handy :)
Thank you.
Omg this is the best glue review ever!! The previous one I watched recommended Art GG but that was based in US. As Im in the UK as well I always wondered if the ones I can buy more easily here are as good as the ones in the US. I was trying to decide between Cosmic Shimmer and Collal, now I know thanks.
On a different note, is there any brands stamping inks readily available in the uk that you recommend? I think only distress inks or Tsukineko can be found in shops here?
Great video! Very helpful. Thanks
Hi Sam. I have been watching your tutorials a lot lately. I LOVE all your card and box designs and find you very easy to follow. In Canada we can not get Collall glue. I use a book binding glue for my cards and boxes. You always talk about Collall glue and how strong it makes your boxes. What is in it that makes it so strong? I really don’t like the price we have to pay for Art Glitter. Do you think that book binding glue is strong? It is a PVA glue. Your advise would surely be appreciated. Thank you Cheryl 🇨🇦
Hello Cheryl. Book binding glue is good , but it is heavily water based and will warp your cards . I use Collall all purpose which is a construction glue and is solvent based and does not contain any water. and it dries very hard , making it great for Papercraft. You could also try Beacon 3 in 1 which is similar to Collall glue. Hope this helps you .😊
@@MixedUpCraft thanks Sam. unfortunately I can’t get Collall glue in Canada. I can get Beacon 3 and 1 but pricey. I will try it though. Thanks again.
thanks sam, i too use aleenes tacky glue but cannot get the stand up on the lid version either, i did buy some little precision tip bottles from i think craft stash and decant the glue into them but the glue is thick and i have dexterity problems so find it hard to squeeze, love those tiny precision tips you were showing but again cannot find them, very frustrating lol, thank you for going through them x n.b just looked on ali express and you can buy the tiny precision tips, but as with ali, the wait is frustrating lol. Afraid im an amazon next day gal lol, thanks sam x
Thank you Nessie's Crafty Crafts. I have ordered some smaller bottles and also decanted the Collall into a smaller bottle with the metal tip and its even better. My worry with Ali is that they may not be stainless steel. I'm on Amazon and will get them there. Glad you found the video helpful :)
Great video - thank you😀. Wish I had seen this when I started crafting!! Would have saved a lot of spoiled projects and wasted glues😂. What would you use to adhere plastic or metal filigree corners to a card? Would appreciate recommendations.
Thanks for doing this video I have around 10 of the glues you have demonstrated and the first collal glue you demonstrated was my first glue I used years ago, could you do one on paper trimmers and craft knives please?
Thank you for the review❤💕
