adhesive
Adhesive = substance or material used to adhere scrapbook elements to a page.
Glue or spray, dots or tape, adhesives are critical to successful scrapbooking. When selecting adhesives, be certain the products are acid-free to protect photos. There are many kinds of scrapbooking adhesives, including:
- Liquid Glue Pens
- Mounting Squares or Photo Stickers
- Photo Tape
- Glue Sticks
- Foam Spacers or Pop Dots
- Tape or Glue Rollers
- Vellum or Transparent Tape
- Bottled/Specialty Glues
Liquid glue pens make it easy to adhere tiny elements like die-cut alphabets or lettering to a scrapbook page. Liquid glue pens are available in several widths.
Mounting squares or photo splits are used to mount a photo onto a scrapbook page or photo mat. Tiny pre-cut squares of double-sided tape, this product makes it easy to remove a photo for later use.
Photo tape, like mounting squares, is a double-sided adhesive tape made especially for photographs. Unlike pre-cut mounting squares, photo tape can be cut to any length according to need.
Foam spacer or pop dots are double-side foam adhesives which come in a variety of thicknesses and sizes.Use pop dots to "lift" an element above the page for visual impact.
Tape or glue rollers are adhesive delivery systems that allow you to paste photo splits or glue dots directly to photos or paper--without the need to peel off protective backing!
Vellum or transparent tape is used to affix vellum without unsightly glue or tape marks.
Bottled or specialty glues are used to adhere "lumpy" or three-dimensional embellishments to scrapbook pages. Be certain liquid glue used for these purposes is acid-free and safe for photos.
