Any tips for tearing apart a layout? Last year in a moment of poor judgement, I made mini-LOs for my garden journal. Now I realize it added way too much bulk (it's a moleskine planner so not a lot of room for expansion). Fortunately most of it has peeled off pretty easily - the glue didn't hold well - but there are a couple stubborn pieces of cardstock that are sticking in places. Any ideas on how to loosen the glue without tearing holes in the underlying (thin) paper?

Dental floss. Slip the middle if a piece under each layer, hold the ends, and use a sawing motion to cut through the adhesive.

Another vote for UnDu. It has saved many layouts and cards for me.

I have found a hair dryer provides enough heat to soften most adhesives without burning the paper. I have used it to take apart projects, remove labels, and help dry projects. The dryer became so useful I made a peas can into a holster and mounted it to the side of a work table.

I tear apart my fair share of layouts and find that Undu is something I always have to have on hand!

Undu is my go to. It freaks people out when I use it if they have never tried it though.

Undu is my go to. It freaks people out when I use it if they have never tried it though. Agreed! It was scary importing this, in bulk, after our local scrappy stores were no longer willing to, but I couldn't scrap without it. OP, it looks and smells like a dastardly chemical. It is a dastardly chemical and you should guard your respiratory system, ventilate etc. however, it will not harm your pics or embellishments or paper. It will all vaporize, very quickly. Good luck! |
