Best and worst glue / tape
(lemmy.nz)
Iβve been using the kokuyo dot liner for years and I have no complaints.
Thanks for the tip, I'll see if I can find a local supplier to give them a go.
Funnily enough I was just watching Jetpens "what's new" video and thought the Kokuyo products would be worth a look.
I generally use Elmer's gluesticks. I don't usually have much trouble sticking paper, magazine paper or scrapbook paper (noting I'm very heavy handed with my glue) but anything heavier I just use regular packing tape or double sided tape. I'm not very precious with my journals though so if you are, I would check out the dot roller that someone already mentioned. π
I discovered removable glue dots. Using them now with my Hobo.
Do they add much bulk to the pages? I tend to stick my photos in the same spot on every page and if the dots add a bump, I start getting frustrated by the lack of a flat surface.
I'd guess it depends on the thickness of what you are pasting. They're thin and I've only put down postcard like items. There is a double sided sticky tape out there too that's thinner. The dots are easier to manage. The tape a little messier. They both come in a self applying dispenser. I got mine off of Amazon. The tape is not temporary. You'll need to be precise your first time applying it.
Not temporary is good though, surely? I like the idea of a dispenser, that sounds a lot less messy than a liquid glue.
