Very helpful miniaturists keep adding to the printies post about book pages, keep checking.
Double sided tape sounds nice and clean, with no worries about glue leakage, good idea. I do have to tell myself to keep the glue to a minimum. If you spread the glue out, I have found that the leakage doesn't happen too much. I have a friend that does not like to touch the glue and get the glue on her fingers, she doesn't like the smearing. I always smear the glue around on anything I apply glue to, I waste a lot of glue, I know, because I am wiping it off. I keep a rag for wiping my fingers in my lap and a damp cloth in a bowl on my table. I used to be pretty bad about getting glue all over, but with time I've learned to wipe, wipe and wipe my fingers. I was always told I was a messy child, I don't think I've changed much,LOL! TTYL Kris

thanks for the links on books, some of them are great! thanks!
ReplyDeleteon paper I use the white glue for wood, put in a little cup and pinch with a toothpick, then put the glue where needed, so I do not dirty my fingers and the glue is always in small doses! ;)

Si, si, haz caso a cockerina. no uses mas pegamento que el necesario. Aunqye la verdad es que con tu metodo te quedan muy bien las cosas.

Yes I don't like so much the glue :o) But for the paper I use stick glue (Pritt Power). Perfect for paper but for just the pages (retro-verso)... but to press the book inside the cover it is not sufficent strong. I like Tacky glue but in Italy...? a rarity. The "Attak glue" arghhhh... my poor fingers... but I like it for many others little things. Actually I'm trying this new solution, but unfortunately the Double sided tape is not repositionable and this is a problem in case of mistake. :o/
ReplyDeleteKris, I love smearing glue with my fingers, too :) Sometimes I get glue where I shouldn't, but I really love the feel of it! Isn't it interesting how some people like this and others don't?
