Adhesives
Applying to a Scrapbooking Page or Altered
Project:
Some chipboard letters and shapes come with
adhesive already on the back. Basic Grey is one company that comes to
mind. American Crafts also makes chipboard letters that are adhesive
backed.
Most any wet or dry adhesive will work for
altering chipboard. Where you need to be careful, is when you are
adhering your chipboard shape or letters to your layouts or using
chipboard on an altered item.
When altering an item and attaching chipboard
shapes or letters, I recommend a strong adhesive. I use Aleene's Tacky
glue. This will require you to hold it for a moment, but the hold is
great. Another adhesive that will work well, is a Xyron Cheetah. (see
the website that is linked below for more information.)
Adhesives for altering your chipboard
letters or shapes:
When you apply paper to chipboard shapes or
letters, any dry adhesive will work well. You can use your adhesive
runner or tape runner effectively. I would not use glue dots because you
need a complete cover of adhesive to keep the paper attached.
