Thanks!

I am using June Tailor's spray right now. I like it a lot. It's expensive. I used a coupon at Hobby Lobby. You can find it in the sewing section. I am good about posting frugal alternatives. Adhesive spray is not one I am frugal with because of my asthma.

Scotch, for me was the worst. I usually like Scotch products. The spray really triggered my asthma. I had to give it away. It was great spray but the fumes were too much.

One of my friends like's Aleene's. I have not used it but I was in a room after Aleene's was sprayed. I was fine. The room was well ventilated.

Hope that helps.

Aaaaannnndd .... the light bulb over my head just turned on & is shining brightly! lol

I have a glue pad that I could try this with!



Other ways I have used are:
a) 2" wide sookwang tape on the backside of the cardstock before running the die through my Big Shot. If the die is wider than 2", I put down another strip of tape.
b) tiny dabs of Mono Multi

Thanks for your suggestions, Robin. The Winterland tree is extremely detailed and fragile. I think a spray is the only way to go since I didn't do my research ahead of time and put peel-away tape on the back before I cut.

DeeAnn, are you using the June Taylor basting spray? Does that hold the paper without it falling off later?

I use beacon 3 in 1 glue.

I think that is the one. No nothing has fallen off. I have been using it for awhile now. It stay repositionable within time it becomes permanent like the ZigWay glue pen. Least that is what I noticed. I am in a high humidity area too. The spray might behave differently in drier climates.

I haven't seen this mentioned- run the card stock through a xyron before cutting. I do this quite frequently.
