This probably won't be of any help, since you're asking for a liquid, but I use a glue stick. I would think liquid would make the paper too soggy. Maybe someone else would know more.

I took a class recently and the teacher required everyone to have Beacon 3 in 1 glue. I actually think it did the job really well. It is like glue from the glue gun, but cold. It gets kind of webby, but easy to clean up once things are dry. This was specifically for the purpose of gluing paper to chipboard, but it's become my go-to glue.

I've used just about everything out there. And I just use my ATG. Works well. It's cheap. And I don't have to buy a special glue for a single purpose.

My "go to" adhesive for chipboard is a good craft gluestick, like UHU, or Beacon 3 in 1 glue.

I use Tombow for chipboard. This, Mono Multi with the green cap specifically is all I use for paper to paper, paper to chipboard, etc. The clear kind with the blue cap is too wet no matter how little you use, but the white kind with the green cap works very well as long as you don't glop it on and use too much. A little goes a LONG way. If you do happen to get a bit where it doesn't belong, you can clean it up after it has completely dried with a rubber cement pickup (A/K/A glue eraser) square. Just something to note, this particular glue has latex in it so anyone with a sensitivity to that should probably use something else. ETA: I have used this glue almost exclusively for paper piecings and mini books for at least the last 18 years and I have NEVER had a project that I've used it on fall apart. Once this glue has set up and is dry, the paper will RIP if you try to get the pieces apart. I never have any issues with the paper warping, etc. because you really only need a very small amount of glue to do the job. |

The liquid glue I like best is PVA. It's a bookbinding glue that shouldn't buckle unless the paper is really thin.

I'll use Mod Podge, but my favorite is prob. Perfect Paper Adhesive (PPA). It seems to go on just a little easier than MP. Maria

I always use score tape/terrific tacky red line tape.
I made a halloween paper bag album years ago and its holding strong. The front and back cover is chipboard covered in fabric and paper.

I agree with this! That red tape is really good. I made a paper bag mini as well a few years back..used ATG on it and it fell apart. Used my red tape...still holding strong. |

A thin layer of glossy accents, it works great for me.

Pinflair Book binding glue is my favourite for ease of use and staying power. Amazing stuff.

Kate, I took a class with an instructor that was all about using everything that didn't move on a layout. She told us we had to use the product she suggested. At first I wondered if she was just trying to make some money. The stuff that she recommended changed my life! Okay, not really, but it is the most amazing glue I have ever used and it works on everything I have tried. It is called Tear Mender. (Bish's) It is for fabric and leather, but it works so well with paper too. It comes out like a really watered down Elmer's glue, but it works in about 10 seconds. The extra also rubs off like rubber cement. The only thing we were told is to not get it on your clothes. It is made to stick to that. If your jeans are frayed Bam! no more. In class the lady made some large flowers out of material and lace. She put this stuff on the flower and then attached it to her shirt. It didn't move. It was super gaudy, but it left an impression on me.

I've done many many paper to chipboard albums and pages and I've never had good luck with liquid glue on paper to chipboard applications for sizes larger than 4". The glue can be uneven and cause warp or ripples on the paper. I guess if a liquid glue is the ONLY option available, I would use modge podge and use a straight edge to smooth it down like you would when you install wallpaper. Otherwise my preferred method has always been the larger size Xyron adhesive so the paper is fully covered.
