The PERFECT adhesive - does it exist?

[LeslieinTN]

Well, I have a basket of adhesives sitting in my scrap room and I think I've used probably 75% of the different types out on the market. BUT I still find that most are affected by humidity and I cannot depend on them to keep my photos attached if they are standing up (like on display at CC where I have one that I fix everytime I go there!!! Argh!). Believe it or not, I have found that the old Creative Memories tape runner seems to be the best. I started with it about 8 yrs ago and have gone back to it. If I'm careful then I can get my photos off if I put them on crooked or whatever. BUT my question as you can see in my thread title is "the PERFECT adhesive - does it exist?" Is there any adhesive that you have found stands the test of time? I have individual adhesives for metal/plastic (love the KI Gloo for that), for adhering ribbon (have photo tape for that), and for vellum/transparency (Scrappers Spray has always worked fine for me). BUT what have you found to be the favorite for you? Or have you? LOL Please let me know!

I myself am also trying to find the BEST. Some things work well with certain items but not at all with others.

Well, I bought some from Walmart a while back by Therm O Web called Memory Tape Runner XL (permanent bond) and it really seems to work really well. I think I've seen you using this before, Brianna. Have I? It's clear and I can rearrange items before it really bonds permanently.

I don't think so, but I've seen it and wondered if it was any good. I might have to try it out!

Hmmm. . . must have been someone else obviously! I will watch next time to see who the culprit is! LOL BUT I do like it so far. I'm about to use the whole thing. I don't know if it has refills or not though.

I heard another scrapper raving about Duck brand adhesive. It's got the CK/OK approval. I think I will look for it to try.

I bought some Duck adhesive today. It looks very much like the Therm O Web brand. I'll give you the scoop on its performance when I try it out.

Used the Duck brand adhesive at a crop on Monday night and it seemed to work great. It's got a pinkish tint to it - not completely clear. It gets in the texture of the Bazzill and sticks well. So far so good!!! ;)
