Here are some general tips for using glue in your crafting projects:
- Surface preparation: Make sure the surface you want to glue is clean and dry before applying the glue. If the surface is glossy or non-porous, you may want to roughen it up a bit with sandpaper to help the glue adhere better.
- Apply the glue: Apply a thin, even layer of crafters glue to one surface. You can apply the glue with a brush or directly from the bottle.
- Join the surfaces: Press the two surfaces together firmly and hold them in place for a few seconds to ensure a strong bond.
- Allow time to dry: Let the glue dry completely before handling or moving the project. Drying time may vary depending on the type and amount of glue used, as well as the materials being bonded.
- Clean up: Clean up any excess glue or residue with a damp cloth or sponge while the glue is still wet. Once the glue has dried, it can be difficult to remove.
- Storage: Store the glue in a cool, dry place with the cap tightly closed to prevent the glue from drying out.
Remember to follow the manufacturer’s instructions when using crafters glue. Some glues may have specific instructions for use or require different application techniques. Additionally, it’s important to test the glue on a small, inconspicuous area before using it on a larger project to ensure compatibility with the materials being bonded.
