I was asked by a friend to make a guest book for her friends' country cottage. I expect that it will be well handled during it's lifetime so I needed to be confident that it will durable and long lasting. Naturally I feel completely confident becasue of my Helmar adhesives.
For this project I used a combination of Helmar Quick Fix Adhesive Tape Runner and Helmar Professional Acid free glue. I used the tape runner to adhere the main sheets of patterned paper because that stuff is unbelievably strong. This was especially important on the inside as I folded the corners to keep it neat. Most other adhesives that I have used in the past could not cope with that kind of thickness.
For everything else I used the Acid free glue, so I could control exactly how much I used. This was important becasue of the tiny delicate pieces of the chipboard. The last thing I wanted was to have dried glue coming out of the side of the frame. This adhesive held everything else from the delicate doily to the large dimensional flowers.
I feel very happy knowing that this will not fall apart after just a couple of uses.
Cheers
