What Glue do you use for Photos?

Topic Closed
  • Love 2 Learn
    I have several types of glue but most of them are liquid:

    ZIG 2-way Glue Pen
    Zip Dry Paper Glue
    Tacky Glue (4 different types)
    Liquid Wackytack

    I don't think I should use a liquid adhesive on my Photos. What type of adhesive works best on photos (as far as not wrinkling the Photo, or causing it to pucker up in places). Also, how do you apply your adhesive--I mean do you just make a big X on the photo or just do the sides or corners?

    By the way, I also own the ATG gun--but do you think that adhesive is too strong for Photos?

    I just use an adhesive runner on my photos. Dotto or I forget the name of the other one I have.

    I've also used zots.

    Kokuyo . Love it! Use it for just about everything I can. LOL
  • Scrapnread
    I use those little blue photo splits. They work great, the only downside is those little blue pieces of paper EVERYWHERE!

    I second Nancy's vote for Kokuyo . I love that stuff!

    I also use a tape runner. Generally I use the Creative Memories tape runner but I've also gotten into using the 3L tape runners.

    I use my CM tape runner, but I hope to buy an ATG gun soon.

    I love the photo splits/mounting squares... they are the adhesive I use most by a long shot. I use them for photos, papers, and anything else that's flat... and go through them like crazy!

    I never use glue for my photos. I had a photo get ruined when the glue soaked through. Yea it was supposed to be acid free.
    I use CM photo splits or adhesive runners or Scotch Scrapbooking Tape.
  • ScrappyHeather
    I use my ATG 714

    Either my Tombow tape runner or my ATG. I tend to over tape things, so I go around the edges and sometimes even a line in the center. My daughter, on the other hand, just uses a few little "dashes" of tape and doesn't have any problems at all.

    Thank you for your post---this is also what I wanted to know about. I wanted to know how much tape to use on a photo, and where to apply it!

    I got 12 different answers on adhesives. There were 3 votes for Kokuyo (which I put on my wishlist) and 4 votes for ATG (which I already have).

    Thanks ladies for all your input. I guess I will just use my ATG (even on my photos)--I will just use it sparingly--cause that stuff is super-strong.
