Thank you for the Mono Multi recommendations, it ROCKS!
I went to a class the other night and took it and I had JUST got it so wasn't sure how it was going to hold but 1) the only reason I bought it was the rave reviews here and 2) I heard you only need a little drop in each corner.
WOW. I mean WOW.
All I needed was a little drop in the four corners and that stuff stuck. Like GLUE!
I came home and one of the cards I didn't care for the color combo as much and DH said why don't you "remake" it and I agreed and tried to pull it off and it wouldn't BUDGE. This was only a few hours after the class.
I am so happy I tried it also. I made 6 Halloween cards, 10 Thanksgiving cards, 40 Christmas cards, 3 birthday and 5 thank you cards with numerous layers from ONE bottle. Sure makes the price per bottle GREAT!

I tried this several months ago after reading recommendations here on SCS, and I absolutely LOVE IT! Just a smidge here and there, a few seconds to dry, and it's stuck for good. I reach for it all the time now.
That's the only kind of glue I use anymore. I too found out how strong it was..When I made a card that I didn't like.. I try taking it apart....No Way!!
I made a purchase of 3 bottles of it. thinking that I might run out. But I haven't even made a dent in the first one yet.
:grin: Looking back, why did we ever spend all that money on tape runners? It's fantastic not having a card pop apart when you least expect it, or want it!!
That's the way I feel about my Scotch quick dry but it mono multi better?
And was it the blue or the green bottle?

I used to use the Scotch Quick Dry which works great with cardstock, but not so great with lightweight papers, like patterned paper. I also had trouble with the bottle clogging all the time. When trying to squeeze the bottle one time, the top of it blew off and I had a ton of glue everywhere! That was the end of Scotch Quick Dry for me.
I have had no problems with clogging with the Mono Multi and even though I keep thinking I am at the end of my bottle.....just a quick shake down and there is still more in there! I bought a new bottle a month ago thinking I would need it soon.....but the other one is still going! lol
I got mine on Joanns.com. It isn't expensive at all- and it lasts forever. I had a little trouble getting uesd to it- it came out pretty fast and I got too much on my first few tries. But now I am used to the applicator and an expert in using it. You only need just a little bit! And yes- it really is permanent!!
It is great...BUT be careful how much you use. Less is definitely better. I've ruined several cards by using too much -- causing the paper to become hard and weird or the glue oozed out the edges. Operator error!!
