Can we talk adhesives???

I love the dots tape runner. Used to be a Japanese name but now is made by Scotch, I believe. I also always have liquid glue on hand, like 3M white glue, but I will never be out without my tape runners.

My go to's are Scotch double sided tape (permanent), and Scotch precision tip liquid glue (not superglue).

I'm currently out of the Scotch liquid glue, and am using Elmer's Craftbond precision tip glue pen.

I use ATG. I rarely have trouble as long as I use the non-acidfree option. The acid free one always seems to give me problems. I also only use Scotch brand, no generics. Other than ATG, I use score tape, foam tape, red line tape, Ranger matte medium, Scotch quick dry glue, Gina K Connect, pop dots. Occasionally I use Elmers glue sticks.

I am on a Scor Tape kick. I found a six pack including a little utility knife at a decent price on amazon not long ago, all different widths. I have also been using Aileen's Tacky for paper embellishments.

I've been using the ATG for a long time and still love it. I also use glue dots and the tombow mono adhesive.

I've been using up my stash of the tombow dots before I will let myself break into my lovely hoarded pile of Kokuyo.

These are my current go-tos.

Glue Glider

3L Adhesive Strip Runner

My favorite go-tos have been changing every 4-5 months or so. I have enough Tombow Monoadhesive to last me years, but find myself reaching for it less and less. Not sure why? I was a die-hard fan for probably 10 years.

My go-to's:
ATG - don't care if it's acid free or not, but only the scotch brand (hard to source other brands in NZ)
Green mono-adhesive - have 3x bottles ready and waiting to go
Henzo photo tabs

I have got and use generic double sided tape, trying to use it all up, have 4x rolls left
I have got scotch liquid adhesive in my crop bag, but trying to use it up so it doesn't go manky
I have started using and just reordered the Art Glitter Glue - loving that one!

I also have lots of foam tape to use up and foam pop-dots

I'm trying not to buy any more adhesive until I have used up what I have.....don't want it to not stick and the adhesive dry up

I also have and use my glue glider pro, but the refills are hard to find in NZ

Ryann We are adhesive twins! You have good taste in adhesives I mean...right down to the scrapbook .com version ...

In the past, I did love the koyuko and I would still use it if it weren't so expensive. I normally use the scotch refills for my ATG, but I just purchased an off-brand online because I can't get the Scotch nearby for less than $11/box right now, and I wanted a cheaper option. So far, so good!

I hate the ATG. I had issues and I always bought Scotch refills.

I use the Kokuyo dot liner. I buy refills in bulk from Japan. They take awhile to get here so I order them early, before I run out.

Those are my top 3, too.

Oh, and icraft mounting squares on my photos.

I use double sided adhesive squares. It's what I've used since I started scrapbooking in 1996.

I'm falling out of love with my ATG as we speak. I had to take a defective roll out and currently am using it with just scissors and manual application so I don't waste it. I do have a Gina K tape runner but I find it leaves a lot of adhesive behind the runner, like 25%. So I've ordered a new kind and we'll see how that goes, 3L ez runner refillable. I might hate or love it who knows?

I'm not loyal to one particular adhesive. I use Scor-Tape (mostly 1/2" and 1/4" widths) for lots of things, but always on layouts I do for my LSS which might be handled more as it sticks and does not move. For a runner, I like the red 3L runner, although I did have a batch a number of years ago that just did not stick well, and those layouts need a fresh batch of adhesive. I also use the 3L dot runner for letters, and Silhouette cuts that are fine. I generally detest wet glue, and use it only when required. Glossy accents seems to work to get most things to stick for me.

I want to try Kokuyo, but haven't found a good source to get it to me in Canada.
