BEACON Zip Dry Fast-Drying Paper Art Glue - Archival Quality, Acid & Lignin Free, Wrinkle-Resistant Adhesive, 2-Ounce...

This is the first glue I found to use on glitter paper for card making. Anything I tried before this and the papers came apart. This has great adhesion and I would buy it again.

Works well. Easy to apply cleanly. Surprisingly easy to remove excesses and unintended drips

For years I've had no choice but to use photo corners to adhere photos to my books and greeting cards. But when I wanted to make a board book for my 2 year old granddaughter, I had to find an adhesive that would adhere tightly (so she couldn't peel up the photos) and that would not wrinkle or warp the chipboard pages. The answer was Beacon Zip dry glue. It does not wrinkle paper, photos or card stock. It dries clear and any glue that seeps out from the edges of the photos is easy to wipe off and it does not mess up the face of the photo. Here are some hints for adhering photos: It only takes a thin line of glue around the edges of the back of the photo, but it must be continuous. If your line of glue has gaps, the photo may not adhere completely. After flipping the photo over into place, I gently press along the glue lines with a paper napkin. If you press too hard, the photo might shift out of place. DO NOT lay something heavy over your glued items like you might do with other glues. You will end up with stains. Always replace the white cap shortly after using to keep the entire bottle of glue from drying out. If you find the bottle difficult to squeeze on subsequent uses, it is because a very thin layer of glue has dried inside the applicator. I gently poke a toothpick into the applicator from the outside. If you do this carefully you can reach inside the applicator and pull out the dried glue. It will come out in a little sheet. Use a toothpick or your fingers to peel out any remaining glue. From now on this will be my go-to glue for photos and text for my projects that need to look their best.

I use this in my stationary business to adhere the layers of wedding invitations together. It has a little bit of a smell, but not much worse than a sharpie marker. It is so easy to work with and dries perfectly flat and any excess that may squeeze out can truly be rubbed off. It dries a little bit like the goop they use to hold new credit cards to the paper when they come in the mail, but if you glue paper to paper it holds VERY well once dry. One bottle for me will glue about [****] invites together, so it is well worth the price, especially compared to the roller adhesive options. Some Advice: I have tried putting the red cap on over the pointy tip for storage, but this will only work for a few days before the glue in the bottle dries out, it's much better to put the white cap back on for storage. you can peel any remaining glue from the pointy tip in one piece after it dries. The only time I had less than perfect results with this glue is when i glued two pieces of paper together and then put a book on top to weight it down. I got a slightly wet looking spot on the front of my paper since the glue did not have enough space to dry properly. (so don't weigh down your projects, just sick it and let it be).
