Cat, Bag

Yes, I am letting the cat out of the bag! I love to collect and use glues, mainly those intended for sticking paper and card.

Here are a range of products I have bought and tried. Some of them are mediocre but some of them are essential tools of the trade of sticking.

My favourite? Without any doubt it is Marvin Medium by Berol. I have been using it for years now. I'd be lost without it. Its main feature is that it dries quickly without overly wetting the thing your are sticking.

You can see that in some cases I have stock-piled because the product was on offer.

There is one glue here that I cannot find anywhere now. This phenomenon is what someone in the village calls "The Law of Disappearing Good Things"! It is the Photo Glue, ideal for the non-absorbent backs of photographs. I will be distraught when it peters out.

But it is a lonely attraction. Few are the people I can engage in a discussion of glues!
