Sticky Stuff!

What do you use?

For years and years I swore by Double Sided tape and would buy it by the bag full from the local pound shop. It wasn't until I went to use one of my stock of cards made months earlier that I discovered the DS tape had caused my paper inserts to go see through where the tape was! I checked the others and they were all the same. It seems to only happen with regular printer paper, the thicker papers and card seem unaffected but I won't touch the cheap stuff with a barge pole now, in fact I even have some of the good DS tape too but I only use it sparingly - just in case!
This brings me on to a recommendation; Since my pound shop polava I've been trying out lots of different adhesives from glue rollers to PVA and I've finally found the new love of my life!
Blue glue stick! It's flippin amazing! It was a bit scary when I first used it because it sends everything it touches dark blue but it very quickly dries absolutely clear, and boy how it sticks! I love the blue factor because you can see the bits you've missed and I also love the smooth finish and quickness of it.
So if like me you're unhappy with your sticky stuff, give it a go!
I bought my Bostik one from ASDA because I needed it there and then but I've just had a look and our lovely Karen at Charmed Cards and Crafts sells a much more affordable version which will do exactly the same thing.
So, nothing to show today but this product gets 10 out of 10 from me and if you decide to try it out I think you'll be glad your read today's post.
Let me know if the same thing has happened to you or tell me what you use or what you would recommend by leaving a comment, I love to swap tips.

Have lovely day,
