    Best way to stick intricate shapes

    Can someone please tell me the best way to stick/glue intricate shapes. I have used my robo to cut out welded words and intricate shapes/lattice but when it comes to glueing thes onto the finished card it becomes a nightmare. Any suggestions whould be most welcome

    Hi Pam

    I also use repositional spray. I don't have a xyron machine but friends of mine who have one say it's great for doing that. Sometimes I chose to cut things out of vinyl or sticker paper so it's already sticky for me

    I use sakura quickie glue pen or art glitter with the metal tip. both allow intricate placement of the glue. The art glitter stays wet longer and allows a better adhesion.

    Hope this helps.

    Same here. I would make some blobs and spread it over with a finger. I have the Xyron but most of the time I can't be bothered to get it out lol.

    Same as everyone else I find glue pen or repositionable spray adhesive works a treat.

    I use the dry adhesive hermafix repositionable - any excess can be easily rubbed off and doesn't leave a sticky mess where you don't want it!

    I use my Xyron as well - have a couple of different sizes, depending on how big the bits are that I'm trying to stick. The littlest one is great for the little bits though. And if you place the pieces carefully, you can heaps stuck on in a really small space.
