Best adhesive for invites

[kpuckrin]

I used glue dots- you can get them at Michaels, and walmart I believe. They worked wonderfully for my matted pocketfold invites.

I used glue dots at the reccomendation of the paper store I bought my supplies at.

 

VERY easy to use. I am DIY challenged and was able to do it

I did one in each corner

Glue gun.....very easy to control.

Depending on how many you have to do, and how tough you need them to be, ATG tape is the best...

I used rubber cement for my STDs and it was perfect, no air bubbles or wrinkles

I bought a glue pen from WalMart. It has a blue glue inside that dries very fast, and isn't messy at all. I used it on my STD's and invitations and no problems with anything becoming unglued.

Hi guys,

 

I bought a tape runner dispenser from Michael's, and it didn't seem to hold the cardstock together for any extended amount of time.  I am using it to hold the folded cardtock (110 lb) together to make a sleeve for my boarding pass invitations.  Any other suggestions?  Or a brand that is super strong?

Thanks!

A couple of thoughts - are you using a bone folder to score and press down the folds? That might help the sleeve stick together a little better. I use a 3M brand adhesive in my tape runner, I find the regular stuff works well (the acid free stuff is good if you're doing photos, but doesn't hold as well as the regular type). 

 

I did have issues with the tape runner adhesive not holding when I did some little banners for straws - the tension was too much to get it to hold. I ended up switching to Judikin's Diamond Glaze, which worked like a charm. 

 

Glue Dots can work well too for small areas that you need to adhere.

Hi Allie,

 

Yes my cardstock was pre-scored so folded nicely.  I ended up switching to those little double sided sticky squares used in scrapbooking for photos and those have worked well.  Thanks for all the suggestions.  Greatly appreciated!
