From paper to project
Check that the product suits paper and the participants’ ages.
Test two offcuts of the same material as your project.
Apply a thin coat to the joining area rather than the whole piece.
Align and press the join on a protective sheet.
Allow the drying time stated on the packaging before handling.
Lift the piece to inspect the join; if it fails, increase the contact area.
Check it with an example
An 8 mm tab offers more contact than a small dot. A flower needs glue at the centre only; coating the petals flattens the relief and adds moisture.
If it does not turn out as expected
Our templates do not require a hot glue gun. Do not use one with children without suitable supervision and procedures, or recommend it as a universal solution.
