When I cut out letters or doilies or other fine line pieces with dies, I first attach a StikIt sheet to the back of the cs or pp I am cutting, so the piece I cut becomes a sticker. But I am thinking this wouldnt be a good idea with the Silhouette b/c it would prob gum up the blades?
how do YOU attach fine line diecuts to your projects?

I use a fineliner bottle fill it with matte medium. It dries clear. The fineliner bottles are finicky. You can't leave cap off for long and you need to make sure no air pockets are in there. Fineliner bottleThey are $10ish dollars for 2. But matte medium is cheap if you just buy from on art store. I love love this as a glue😚 |

I think I've seen it done on videos. The analogy would be to sticker paper that is totally acceptable to print on .. or self sticking vinyl.
I use little dots of white glue when I'm creating something with fine lines. I'm not going to the trouble of adding all those steps to "pre-treat" the paper -- and I like the "slip time" of white glue!

Your lss can order them in. Or Simon sells them for $10usd. So even with the $5 off shipping they will work it to be $15 for 2. I have the blue bottle. With is very fine. And the yellow bottle which is a tad thicker. It's a needle tip.

I use Tombo Mono liquid glue that comes in a fine point bottle.
If you lived in a warmer climate, I might suggest using a spray adhesive, but not indoors.

Scotch Quick Dry and I put it in an empty Elmer's glue bottle so I have more control of how much comes out on my project.
I couldn't find the fine line bottles/was confused about what size to get, so I improvised...

I bought the Scraperfect No Clog Writing Cap. It's available in 3 sizes and I got the size that will fit on the .5 oz. bottle of Matte Medium. I've only been using it for about a month but so far, so good. scraperfect.com/product/no-clog-writing-caps/I also use the Zig Chisel Tip Glue Pen. |

I squirt out a blob of glue (PVA), then dip a matchstick-size strip of cardstock into it and use that to dab tiny bits of glue. The new Tonic Nuvo glue has a pretty fine tip, but I usually have to stick a pin to open it back up if I have left it upright. The metal tip keeps coming out of my fine line bottle, so I finally gave up on that solution.
I keep trying so many different glues, but I always go back to a blob of PVA. IMO it's the perfect consistency, drying time, flexibility and durability.

I use Ranger matte multi medium with a fine tip nozzle, too. The matte one dries completely clear and not shiny, so if it squishes out you don't see it, and it really holds well.
I never have any luck with glue pens.

So when you are done using a cap for the Matte Medium, do you remove it from the container and flush it out? Leave it on the little bottle? I don't look after my Glossy Accents very well, and often have to unclog with a needle. But I am thinking the ones you are talking about would have openings big enough to do that? |

I use either glossy accents or matte meduim with a fine tip nozzle. My new favorite is the Nuvo Deluxe Adhesive. I can get a pretty small sized dot of glue with the tip that comes on the bottle.

I would not use Tombo Mono for anything that the glue might seep out around the edges. It doesn’t dry completely, but becomes tacky when dried as much as it will dry. I would use matte medium since you won’t see any dried glue that seeps out.
Tombo mono is great for creating a post it type glue for temporary placement. Just let it dry first to make it tacky not permanent.

I threw away the original Matte Medium cap when I put the No Clog cap on. When I'm done using it for the day, I just tap the bottle on the table to settle the medium back into the bottle. No rinsing. Whether I'll be able to transfer the No Clog cap to a new bottle of Medium remains to be seen. I'm not sure I've ever "finished" a bottle in my life - I've always had to throw out clogged bottles. I just used it again this morning and it worked perfectly. |

I use matte medium in a fine nozzle bottle. I tried the fineline applicators but had trouble with those as well so switched to the Quilled Creations one which seems to be working better. |

Just let it dry first to make it tacky not permanent. Tombow Mono with the green top is my glue of choice. Get a rubber cement pickup square (a/k/a glue eraser) and allow any that oozes out to set up and get tacky. At that point you can rub over it with the rubber cement pickup and it will remove all traces of excess glue. I love it and have been using this glue for over 20 years. I haven’t ever had anything I’ve glued together with it come apart a single time in all those years. |

I always make a huge mess when I use liquid glue, so I use a product that is similar to this. It is a sheet of really tiny dots of adhesive on a release paper. All you need to do is press the die cut onto the sheet, lift it off, and press it on to your project. I am currently using a discontinued version of this product, but this appears the same and I have also seen something like it at Michaels in Canada. |

Glue pens work best for me. I have the Zig glue pen which I like since the glue comes out in tiny dots so I have a lot of control.

how do YOU attach fine line diecuts to your projects? I use Scotch liquid adhesive. Just little drops on the diecut. I try to make sure I get it on the edges especially so it doesn't peel up. |

I also use multi matte medium with a fine tip. I used the tops from these bottles: amzn.to/2EiBlAI and replaced the nozzles on my glossy accents and matte medium. I haven't had any clogging issues with it. |

I do a combination of things-
Zigway Glue Pen is my favorite.
I also use a toothpick dipped in glue. Really old school but it has always worked for me.
Last but not least the Xyron.
I tried the fine line glue applicators. Nope! Too many drama's even with all the things to do to prevent clogs, globs and all the glue dramas. Life is too short for glue dramas. :)Some of my friends have good luck with the bottles. I am like a five year old with them. I get it all over the desk, my clothes, in my hair, up my nose. Yes, that really happened.

I used to use the Sailor Glue Pen, but I have not seen it in years. Now I use the Zig chisel tip, but if I could find a glue pen with a ball point tip again, I would buy it in a heartbeat.

I second this, the ScraPerfect caps are the same thing on the Fine Line bottles, just a different size. I use the glue Karen Burniston uses, LINECO Neutral PH Adhesive since Aleene's Acid Free Tacky glue got reformulated and they ruined it. Scotch Create Tacky White Glue dries TOO fast. The 4 ounce Lineco bottle uses the LARGE ScraPerfect Cap The 2 ounce Scotch Tacky uses the MEDIUM ScraPerfect Cap. The medium cap is the SAME as the large with pink accent, Ranger fine tip cap. You DO have to make SURE the LINECO doesn't freeze because it can turn into rubber. I'll order more when it gets warmer in a month or so! |

I use my hermafix removeable because I can just lay down the dots and wipe away the residue
