I really didn't want to make a post, because I was a "Throbbing Member." Now I've ruined it!  Anyway, my daughter got married last weekend. I have a chipboard "Mr & Mrs" that I want to cover with wedding photos of them. What is the best liquid glue for this? Every time I try to google, I just find "glue dots" which isn't going to help. They need to be completely glued edge to edge. Thanks! |

My guess would be mod podge. I believe there are matte and glossy versions.

What about a Gel Medium. It will dry fully. Sometimes Mod Podge stays sticky no matter how long it dries
I also feel like it would hold better than a regular liquid glue as photos arent porous so the regular glue would just sit.
Gel Medium would also seal the top of the photos to add a layer of protection.

The Nuvo glue works well on Thickers.

I would test whatever you choose before adhering to the book in case the medium messes with the ink from the photos.

I tried googling, and I saw how to use gel medium to transfer photos. Hopefully it doesn't take the ink off the photo paper! |

Ive used it w photos from costco w no issue. Ive never used w home printed photos. Definitely test it.  |

Best Glue Ever might work too if you are just wanting to glue down. Its a liquid glue.

Red Line Tape along with either E6000 or Tombo Mono as the wet glue.
I used both on a chipboard paper bag album I made that was covered in fabric and it is 10 years old. Still holding up strong.

Personally I would recommend Gel medium over Modge podge also. (Modge Podge can be so sticky and seem like it never dries.) But, if you are using it on top to seal, it will depend on how your photos are printed on whether it makes them bleed.
If you don't want to seal on top, I would actually recommend Scor Tape or similar strong tape in a thin width. You can get close to the edges when putting it on and it holds great! Just another opinion to throw at ya! LOL!
