Grrr my batch is falling off. I've forgotten, what's best way to attach?
I should have remembered there's a reason I stopped using them (gasp)

Run them through a Xyron. Use an embossing tool around the edges of each letter before you peel apart the layers and you won't have blobs of excess adhesive.
I have also used a glue pen.

I use a glue pen or glossy accents in a pinch.

Tear Mender (for fabric) is hands down the most sticky stuff I have ever used and the extra wipes right off like rubber cement.

I refuse to buy Thickers anymore unless they're the foam thickers. I got tired of having to put extra adhesive on the alpha that already has adhesive on it!

For this reason, I will only purchase Thickers on sale ($1.49-1.99). I wish American Crafts would sell Thickers without adhesive at a lower MSRP, since the adhesive is notoriously useless! |

Yeah, that's why I only buy them at those price points. |

I love Thickers. I still use thm even though the adhesive doesn't stick. Doesn't bother me. I just use a glue pen and move on.  |

Doesn't bother me either. I use whatever adhesive is close to me at the time.

At least half of the pre-adhesive stuff I use falls off. I always add my own glue. Glue pens work well since they're applied by the drop and don't make a mess.

I just use Scotch Quick Dry or even basic Elmer's glue in a pinch. I've only had problems with the chipboard Thickers, never the foam or vinyl/epoxy ones.

I use my dot roller on my Thickers. I love them all except the vinyl ones and some of the cloth ones they made years ago. My very first Thickers were "giggle". I still love them!!!
