Hi there Helmar People.
I have a page and some info to share today…..so I am just going to jump straight on in.
Lots of Lovely glues used for this one.
Helmar specialises in glues for different purposes. I frequently use Helmar 450 Quickdry which is my my go-to quick-grab glue……but dont think thats all there is…..or that its perfect for each task……(even though its perfect for a good many!!!!)
This page uses LOTS of chipboard, which is not a product for a humble glue stick…….its sturdy and needs a glue which will hold well and will not crack off when your page is bent. Helmar 450 will do the job with this, but so will Helmar Supertac, or Helmar Professional Acid free glue bookbinding) will (both white glues)
The chipboard lettering here from Imaginarium Designs is gorgeous but ever so fine. My usual Helmar 450 will not come out fine enough for this task without getting glue off the edges. But……my Helmar supertac is a thinner consistency without having stringy residue and can cover the back neatly and without leaking over the edges if you hold the nozzle (not fully open) and directly on the chipboard so you are 'wiping' the glue on with the nozzle instead of pouring it on.
Same goes for the fine chpboard frame you can see below (another Imaginarium Piece)
Fabric like this lace trim relies on the 'no seepage, very little warping' qualities the Helmar 450 has, so that glue is my go-to for this task!!!!
Last but not least I love the ease of using the Helmar Adhesive Runner for the speed and reliability of a fast easy to use adhesive for paper and light cardstock and my Helmar Zapdots to add some dimension here and there.
SO all that said…… Some excellent glues to play with!!!!!
You will need them all!!!
See you again soon.
