Glue of the Month
Yes Glue
It has taken us a long time to acknowledge this glue, even though we have had many recommendations for it as Glue of the Month. Our delay was mainly due to the fact that we could not find this fabulous product up here in Canada. But finally our paper specialist was venturing down south of the border to a stamping conference and trade show, and was able to "smuggle" some Yes Glue up to us less fortunate.Yes Glue is a paste type glue ideal for paper because it will not cause it to wrinkle. What we especially liked about Yes Glue is the thick consistency that is easily watered down to meet other requirements. It is not waterproof however, but then again, neither is paper. We found it to work well on all bonds of paper to other materials, even metal and glass. It dries quickly and cleans up easily. It is solvent-free and relatively non-toxic.
Our only complaint about Yes Glue is its low commercial profile. When we spoke to the manufacturer of this product, they said that anyone can buy the glue through their client service number at 1-800-323-0596 or through their web site at www.ganebrothers.com. But to do this you need to know about Yes glue. And a glue this good should not be kept a secret! But then again, that's what www.thistothat.com is for!
