20 Best Glue For Photos (2022 Updated)

Adhesive aspect was great, nice bond, easy to work with. Maybe I just got a bad can, but the instructions say to line up the nozzle with a mark, which I did, but not only was it dripping out while I was spraying it, but it continued to do so after I stopped spraying.

It says to clear it after use, but I didn’t make it that far, I just threw it back in the bag to keep it from dripping over everything. Giving it 4 stars still because I think I just got a faulty can, and other than the dripping/leaking, it was great.

I have used this product for mocking up packaging samples. Very easy to with perforated liner if you need to tear off for single application and you can tuck the liner back in the box and the box itself becomes the applicator.

Sticks instantly and holds in place.

I have used these little squares to affix my pictures in my scrapbooks. I have tried other products and always return to these. They are easy to use and stay stuck to the page, although it is possible to lift and reposition if necessary.

Best way to get your pictures onto a page!.

I use Photo Splits in rubber stamping. I put them on just the corners of artwork I am putting on cards. Use an ATG gun, tape runner for the sides etc. For a secure corner, you can’t beat these.

The Scotch Photo Mounting Squares permanantly stick the photos to the album. I normallly have a difficult time getting my photos to stay. I highly recommend this Scotch product to anyone who wants or likes to scrapbook.

It is also great for picture frames or collages.

My 6-year-old daughter and I have been using these glue sticks for schoolwork and art projects over the past few weeks. We used them on cut and paste workbook activities as well as construction paper art projects, and they worked well in both cases.

The one material they didn’t hold on was foam (we did an art project using pre-cut foam pieces/shapes). My daughter is used to using glue sticks, but I hadn’t used one in a long time. I was definitely impressed with how smoothly the glue stick glides across the paper.

It leaves a very light, thin and smooth coating (no clumps or bumps at all). I like that these glue sticks are extra strength, dry clear and produce a permanent bond. They also don’t create the mess that liquid glue can create.

These glue sticks are my new favorite glue product because they are so easy to use and produce great results.

I have always used Elmer’s Extreme glue stick to attach 140lb watercolor paper to card stock for greeting cards. When that ran out out, I saw this and thought it would be exactly what I needed. It says for use gluing paper to paper.

NOT!! The watercolor paper practically fell off of the card stock. I had to use my old, messy Elmer’s glue to get them to stick together. I will be returning this and searching for the Extreme version.

I’m thinking all those other 5 star reviews are bogus.

Really great product that turns any piece of paper, or up to 300g card into post it type notes. It even works on big sheets. You do have to be quite generous with it but one stick could do a whole notebook of pages easily.

Why there is no equivalent in the UK, I don’t know. UHU used to make one but they don’t any longer and the only other thing available is from old stock and is all dried out, so I ordered this from the US and waited about a month for it to arrive.

I am an artist and like to display particular patterns or colour combinations on my walls for ispiration. This is ideal for that and stays put, unlike all other products I have tried.

The most remarkable thing about this stuff is the complete absence of any instructions from the manufacturer about how to use it! Nothing on the can (aerosol). Nothing that I can find on the website.

Incredible! Do you spray both surfaces? What should you use to clean/prep the surfaces? Is the “silly string” spray deliberate? I suspect so, yet 3M’s own responses to reviews complaining about it say “we don’t expect the product to perform like this”: is that true, or do the responses just reflect the use of standard phraseology by staff who don’t know what they’re talking about? Get a grip of your website, 3M; it’s a disgrace.

Other obvious yet unanswered questions: – how do you clean up overspray? Are there temperature limitations on when you should use it? Do you make the bond whilst the adhesive is still wet, or wait until it’s gone tacky before bringing the materials together? This may well be a good product but if you can’t be bothered to tell people how to use it properly you don’t deserve their business.

I have been using this product for many years with perfect success if used according to directions and after investigating the materials you are trying to adhere; also after religiously doing a small test sample whenever possible.

Some additional tips for a better experience with many spray adhesives: • ALWAYS soak the spray tip in GOOF OFF, IMMEDIATELY after every use, or if the tip becomes clogged during prolonged use. I keep a small amount of Goof Off (enough to cover a spray tip twice over) in a small jelly preserve jar, for this exact purpose, and label it so I know what’s in it next time I reach for it.

I use mechanical fingers to remove the spray tip from the jar, and spray it with compressed air to blow out any contaminants and expel the fluid. I always start by blowing out the smallest hole first (in reverse direction from its normal spraying.

Then the rest of the tip. • I always keep cleaned tips from emptied cans, so that I can swap out tips as I’m working on a project, if needed. Never let the tip set for any length of time without soaking it (that’s why I keep spare tips).

• I have had partially used cans of this spray adhesive, that have set around for over 2 years, and still performed well when I used them again. • Vehicle Ceilings: Are not just foam. They are a mixture of foam and adhesive, and require specialized adhesives for that purpose.

However, even your best specialized adhesive will fail if the adhesive/foam it is bonding to is deteriorating. REALLY! Use some common sense here. The only long term remedy is to remove your ceiling and take it to a professional restorer to scrape clean, apply new foam and matching cloth.

Then you can re-install your reconditioned ceiling.

Save your money and buy Super Glue. I’m taking time out of prepping to paint my bathroom to write how BAD this product is. It does not glue plastic vertical blinds. It does not glue wood. It does not glue metal.

It does not even get tacky after 2 minutes of holding two surfaces together. It is absolutely useless.

This is the best super glue I’ve ever used. I was trying to glue metal to glass and originally had tried one of those epoxies that come in the double tube. It was messy and ultimately didn’t hold. I was able to clean up that mess and then I gave this a try.

The triggers on the side dispense the glue with such control. There was no mess, no glue on my fingers and, most importantly, it held the metal to the glass! Within about 10 seconds and it wouldn’t budge.

Excellent!.

I had a lot of fun making the letters of the alphabet using this resin. One thing that I love about resin is that the possibilities are endless with different things that you can make with it. The box included two bottles; the hardener and the resin.

Each bottle has four ounces, but since you are supposed to mix each part in a 1:1 ratio, this makes eight ounces total when mixed. Both of the bottles have a child-proof lid. It would have been helpful if this included measuring cups.

I already had the measuring cups that I needed to mix everything so that isn’t a big deal for me. I have very little experience with resin, so the instructions were really helpful and easy to understand and follow.

The resin was easy to mix. I even added glitter and dyes to add a special touch to the letters I made. This resin has a strong odor, but it isn’t horrible as long as you are working in a well ventilated area.

I used a silicone mold. I waited about 24 hours before I took the letters out of the mold, they were easy to pop out. Once the resin has cured, the finish is glossy.

This epoxy resin worked great for my project. I made coasters with this resin. The 16oz size gives you a lot to work with! I had never worked with resin before, but if you read the instructions it is pretty simple to do.

You mix one part of the bottle marked with a “1” with one part of bottle “2”. They have to be equal one to one ratio for the resin to work properly. This is easy to achieve with a measuring cup. I do warn you though, even though it says low odor.

it is extremely strong smelling! I worked in a ventilated area with windows open and fans on and I also wore a mask and the smell was so strong for me. If you can, I would recommend doing this outside! It was almost too strong to handle for me.

I also learned that when you are mixing both parts together to mix SLOWLY. I mixed too fast the first time and ended up with a lot of bubbles in mine. After the product is mixed properly for 3 minutes you can add alcohol ink or glitter of you want.

After I poured mine into the mold I used a lighter to skim the top of mine to get rid of the bubbles that were forming in the top. This worked great! The package said to let it sit for 24 hours and then take it out of the mold.

And then 3-5 days let it sit out in a flat surface to finish setting up. Mine only took about 2 days to fully finish setting up. This was so much fun and I would recommend to anyone, especially first timers! It is a fun project!.

I am kinda torn about this review because even though Mod Podge is a great product with amazing brand recognition, I felt it did not perform up to standard and it’s my first time trying their resin. First of all, resin is supposed to be thick, and pourable.

This resin was THICK and then some! It was hard to pour smoothly and easily into the molds and there were so many bubbles. You could use a flame or try warming the resin first, but that’s just a lot of work.

It also doesn’t dry completely clear. It has a yellowish-amber colored tint to it which makes it look aged. So that’s not good! I think if you have the time to warm this and use a flame, it will be a good, cheap option for small projects.

Otherwise, if you’re looking for a better and easier product to use, this is not it.

These glue stick work great we use them for a lot of arts and craft projects. The amount of product you get is worth the money you spend. However all good aside the one downfall of these glue sticks is they always seem to make a mess almost like if the glue sticks are melting as your using them.

It looks like melted marshmallows ( Stringy).

This glue gave me a way to arrange printed outlines of pieces of furniture that I printed on photo paper on a floor plan to see how they fit. They stayed securely on the plan. This was much better than hand drawing the furniture outlines on Post-It notes with just a thin sticky edge to hold them on the floor plan.

The Post-It note pieces tended to fall off of the floor plan. And the printed pieces could be done in appropriate colors with other useful details.

These purple Scotch glue sticks are my all time favorite and I will not use other brands. I’ve tried them all and (for me at least) these are the best. I love that you can see with the purple where you are laying glue down and once it starts to fade you know it’s about to start drying.

I just cannot use other glue sticks where you don’t have that system to rely on. I’m very into cut-and-paste crafts so I feel other glue nerds know what I’m talking about. Also, when I purchased these on here I wasn’t sure if I was getting 1 glue stick or 1 three pack like I would usually see in the stores when I could still find these in the store.

So for anyone wondering this is for 1 single glue stick, but it’s much larger than the ones that came in the 3 packs. Still a wonderful deal for how well these work!!.

I’m an Administrator of a Childcare/Preschool that services approximately 200 children daily. We use the scotch glue sticks on a daily basis and Love them!!! However, I am interested in finding them at a reduced cost or donation if possible.

We have been operating during the Covid Pandemic but our finances have been greatly effected, so any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Good glue with paper crafts. Does get messy if stored upright, I think. I put the stopper back on the pad side. Use sparingly on paper, will buckle alittle. Overall..A good thing. Glad I found it.

The glue works well with the pointed applicator. I had a hard time getting the sponge applicator going. After drying, it did curl layers of heavy cardstock even though I did a very thin amount.

We used the handi-tak to hang LED tape lights. The lights held up for about 45 minutes and they fell down. The product claims it replaces pushpins, thumb tacks and tape. We ended up using thumb tacks and the lights haven’t fall since.

I believe this product is only good for holding paper products.

We’ve been using this since my daughter discovered it in grade school, now she taking it to college with her. HandiTak holds just about everything! Since she can’t use nails or screws on her concrete dorm walls, this is the answer for hanging posters and keeping things in place.

Stays pliable for years!.

I bought this to hang up decorations for my Sunday School classes. There were some rather heavy paper posters and they didn’t stay on the walls with the HandiTak. Ended up reinforcing them with staples.

I’ve never bought this stuff before so I really don’t have anything to compare it to but I doubt that I will buy more.

This product is by far the best and easiest to apply of any similar product. I have used this for years. At first it only cost me $7. 00. It is hard to find. Now if you do find it for sale they want up to $12.

00 This is a big rip off. I don’t know what I’m going to do when I run out because 3-L Click ‘n Stick Permanent Mounting Squares is the best.

Nice product. Great for scrapbooking. The only reason I gave it 4 stars instead of 5, is because they’re a bit fiddly when you’re in a hurry to stick down something large that needs a lot of stickers, as you have to peel off the back of each one.

I personally like the convenience of a tape runner instead. Otherwise, they work well for the price.

These are great. They really hold photos, clippings, etc intact on my album and scrapbook pages. Permanently, so you need to be certain when you apply to a page. You have time to re-position within 5 minutes without damage.

As a teacher, I use glue dots for endless craft projects with my students. They work when regular glue does not and they are much less messy. My kindergartners love to use them on google eyes because they stay where they put them rather than sliding around as they often do when glue bottle glue is used.

Tired of the mess that glue leaves behind? Done with waiting for glue to dry? Want a no-hassle alternative to getting your crafts to stick to things? Look no further! No mess, no fuss. Glue dots are the way to go!.

I have tried to use this product as per instructions. But after you place the glue dot where you want it you cannot peel off the clear backing so it can be used. So I guess you can say I’m not satisfied with this product.

This stuff makes things stick! I’m a bit skeptical of the move ability of items?? Maybe it’s the product I was sticking it to. I sprayed my stencil, waited a couple minutes, attached to a painted table(painted a week earlier).

The stencil said to reapply the adhesive when reusing the stencil. I’m going with that wasn’t the best choice. I had/have adhesive as part of my design now. Maybe I followed incorrect instructions? It definitely is bonding!.

Used to glue back together an outdoor fan which was losing its decorative embellishments. Worked well. Used it to tack on posters for triboard- very nice. Also used for creating bookmarks with ribbon, nice, but you have to avoid getting glue on shiny side of ribbon.

Careful when spraying as it gets tacky quickly. If your fingers come in contact with product they too get tacky and then whatever you are gluing may stick to fingertips instead of surface you aim to glue it onto.

Wash any skin or clothes after use and/or wear an apron or work clothes so there are no issues with any unintentional excess spray. Suggest wearing safety glasses if using in upwards direction or in an area where fans, vents, or air travels freely.

This adhesive is AWESOME! i have used all kinds of glues in the past, Gorilla, super glues, name them, the were all useless after one use After some days the nozzle blocks and/or the glue hardens. This spray adhesive is a can spray, its neat, clear and i use it for absolutely everything.

I had chipped baseboard that i glued back the chips neatly like nothing happened. I am glad I bumped into this spray adhesive. Its also a cute can size on my home office desk as i use it to stick printed mailing labels on packages beautifully.

I use this adhesive in my studio to mount photographs to foam board. They are in turn used as reference photographs for my paintings. I am a professional artist and sometimes I use as many as ten reference photographs while working on a commissioned painting.

This spray is easy to use and allow for repositioning right away if you don’t get it exactly right. An outstanding product.

I ruined a $30 (20×30) print, $5 worth of foam core, and wasted the entire can of spray trying to mount my own print at home. I am not stupid, I am very careful. I am VERY disappointed that this product did not have better instructions.

I even looked up tutorials online and could not get anything that would have helped me. Obviously the spray adhesive works like a charm. It WOULD have been perfect had I used the correct technique (which I am still looking for).

So moral of the story: this stuff works great, but use caution and make sure you have the right technique. DO NOT THINK YOU CAN EASILY DIY. My guess is that it would be better to spray as your mounting.

In other words:1) line up left side of photo with mount and secure in place. 2) lift up right side of photo and roll over the secured left side. 3) begin spraying photo and mount board covering most of the photo and mount board, except a few inches on the left side (which is secured).

4) wait a minute or two for glue to dry before gently rolling photo in place on mount board from left to right. 5) once photo is secure with glue, then finish using the same process on the few unglued inches of the left side.

if I had to do over again, this is what I would do. But then again, it might not be the right way either.
