Glues and Adhesives FAQ

What types of glues and adhesives are available in this collection?

Which glues are best for scrapbooking, cardmaking and paper crafts?

For scrapbooking and cardmaking, many makers prefer dry or low-moisture options like glue sticks, tape runners, and fine-tip glue pens because they reduce warping on thinner paper. Photo-safe and acid-free options are a good match for keeping keepsakes and photos in good shape over time. Start by browsing our Glues & Adhesives collection, then combine your choices with patterned papers, card bases and embellishments from our Scrapbooking & Cardmaking collection, https://shop.artnoise.ca/collections/scrapbooking

Are your glues and adhesives safe for kids and classroom use?

Many of the glues and adhesives in this collection are suitable for kids’ crafts and classroom projects, but it’s important to check each product description and packaging for “non-toxic” or age recommendations and to supervise children during use. For younger makers, glue sticks and simple white glues are often the easiest to control and clean up.

What glue should I use for collage, mixed media, or fine art projects on canvas or wood?

For collage and mixed media on canvas or wood, look for stronger liquid glues, paste-style adhesives, or specialty products that can handle heavier papers and embellishments without becoming brittle. Options like starch paste and fine art-focused adhesives are great for collage, while gilding pastes work well for metallic leaf and textured details. If you are building up paint and texture on top, consider pairing your adhesive work with sealing and texture products from the Acrylic Mediums collection https://shop.artnoise.ca/collections/acrylic-mediums

Do you carry hot glue guns and compatible glue sticks?

Yes, the Glues & Adhesives collection includes compact hot glue guns and matching mini glue sticks that are ideal for quick assembly, dimensional crafts, and attaching heavier embellishments. You’ll find options like SHOPRO mini glue guns alongside refill packs of glue sticks

Can I use these glues for light household or DIY repairs?

How can I keep my paper from wrinkling or warping when I use glue?
