Dew drops and adhesive??
What kind of adhesive do you use with your dew drops??
Mine are falling off a lot and I have tried several different glues and some don't work at all it seems:(

I use Glossy Accents with mine - works great and because it's perfectly clear you don't effect the appearance of the Dew Drop at all

I got Crystal Laquer here and will give that a try. I looked up Glossy Accent and it seems they are similar so it won't hurt to try.

My LSS recommended JudiKins Diamond Glaze, so I tried that first. But I prefer mini glue dots.

I love KI Gloo too but over time, the Dew Drops fall off with it too. So, I have been using mini glue dots.

I just ordered some from Ellen Hutson. Thanks for the advice. I'm going to try this b/c I too have been having problems with this as well. I have Judikins Diamond Glaze and it doesn't work either.:(

I use tiny glue dots or a dimensional glaze by Ranger or CTMH (lots of companies have this, but it is all basically the same thing).

I use a tiny dot of Tombow Mono Multi in the green and white bottle. Put the dot on the paper where you want the dew drop. Put dew drop on top. Let sit a moment, then press very gently with your finger to "set".
After it's completely dry, it is clear and you can't see the glue. This holds very well. You will tear the cardstock if you try to get it off.

Have you noticed your Dew Drops mutiply overnight it seems?? I use them constantly and I still have full bottles. It is kinda freaky. That bling is a very good value--I mean since they obviously have little DewDrops over night!

I use my Zip Dry. It dries clear and I LOVE this for making cards also. It NEVER warps the cardstock or DSP! BEST glue I have ever used. I buy it right at Michaels.
