I just bought and started using foam Thickers. (The other pack I have is chipboard)
Will the foam deteriorate and become a mess?
Has anyone used foam Thickers for awhile now and can attest to their quality?
I don't know what made me worry about this, but it's bugging me, so where better to go than the peas?

My foam ones have always held up beautifully, but I have not had good luck with the chipboard ones

but I have not had good luck with the chipboard ones I'm not talking adhesive-wise. I add liquid glue to all the letters. Are your chipboard ones falling apart themselves? Or just became unstuck? (I heard about the crummy adhesive. That's why I glue everything.) |

All my Thickers are great other than the stickiness that you talked about. Foam are extra sticky and hard to adjust if they need to b moved at all. But I think overall Thickers make a great product and I'm always pleased with foam or chipboard.

(I heard about the crummy adhesive. That's why I glue everything.) Just came unstuck. Ones I've used on pages look as good now as they did then, and it's been years. I generally don't buy them but sure love them! |

I have foam Thickers in albums 7-8 years old that are still doing great. They were in a hot attic for a couple years while we were overseas too.

Foam thickers seems to age well, the vinyl ones turns yellow.  Threw several packages in the thrash yesterday, and will probably have to redo lots of pages. |

I think foam will hold up better than puffy in the long run. I would still avoid buying true white ones to avoid yellowing over time.
