All these (35) 1"x1" chipboard tiles are held onto a 5"x7" canvas with Claudine Hellmuth Matte
Medium Adhesive.
Claudine Hellmuth Studio Brand Multi-Medium -Matte~This is a wonderful product and a wonderful
glue. It really holds those hard to hold items- whether it be to paper, metal, wood, glass, plastic & fabric.
This is a gel medium you can also use for image transfers, sealing art, extending paint and creating glazes. It has
a pleasent scent and is waterproof when dry. It is acid free and non toxic. Comes in a 4 oz. plastic
jar. The steampunk piece at the top of the page was adhered with claudine's matte medium. It glued the rusty washers
to the filigree piece.
$6.49
I used the matte medium to adhere this beautiful Graphics 45 paper to this special edition
cigar box. I use a trowel like plastic applicator to spread the medium all the way to the
edges of the paper and it presents with an almost seamless adhesion to the box- a very professional look.

Now you can get the high-gloss look of black & white enamel in a non-toxic formula. It contains
a set of black & white .5 oz bottles with precision tip needlenose applicators. This is an opaque version of the
popular Glossy Accents line and has a glossy sheen. Use it to doodle, dot, dash & decorate cards, scrapbook pages,
stamped images, paper crafts, jewelry blanks and more. (Tried just a little bit of it- I like it alot- very glossy and
cool)

How cute is this!!!??? I was playing with the black and white enamel and some of the
selection of Articus Studio brass charms. I applied the enamel directly onto the metal and took an adorable charm to
a wowie-zowie (did I just say that) charm.
The enamel starts to set up pretty quick and cures completely in 24 hours- so best advice-
let them set for a little while. You can also take a tooth pick and swirl the white into black for another cool look.
There are many more samples of the black & white enamel on the charm pages.

| The Ultimate - Crafter's Pick |
Crafter's Pick The Ultimate Glue~ This water based, non-toxic super glue adheres
to metals, plastics, glass, ceramics, vinyls, painted and varnished surfaces, wood, fabrics, leather, paper and more.
It is great for glueing your favorite found objects to your project. It is also useable as a water base contact cement
for non-porous materials by coating both surfaces, allow it to go clear and them immediately press together. Replaces
toxic glues, cements and hot glue. A great universal household glue. Great also for pin backs, jewelry settings
and so on. . I have used it on many of the samples I have prepared with embellishments and they have held
up very well traveling to conventions. 8 ounce size.
$5.99
Polymer Clay Artists- While attending the CHA, 2005 trade show, I had the opportunity to speak with Maureen
Carlson, a well known polymer clay artist. She uses The Ultimate by Crafters Pick for adhering her polymer clay creations.
I took a class with her and we used it to adhere clay to paper. Worked great.
Crafter's Pick Incredibly Tacky Glue~ It really sticks! An all purpose glue, fast grabbing,
fast drying and flexible. Great for gluing odd shapes, fabric, wood, paper, ceramics, glass, leather, some plastics
and metallic surfaces. Non toxic and water based. Dries clear. I like both the Crafter's Ultimate and Tacky
Glue equally well. Available in 2 sizes 4 oz and 8 oz size (The 8 oz is getting hard to order so after that
stock gone will only be 4 oz size..
$4.99 - 8 Oz Size
PVA Glue~ A popular with book artists. A professional quality adhesive that dries

Aleene's Paper Glaze~ This provides a layer of clear dimensional glaze to your project.
It is not just for paper. It is great for embellishing paper and stamped designs, accentuates design details, fill in
and so on. It won't run colors. It can be used alone or tinted with acrylic color. The needlenose tip allows
for precise application on top of or around intricate designs. It dries to a hard, non-tacky glass like finish.
You may have also seen it marketed as a product called Crystal Glaze. 2 oz. bottle.
$5.25
E6000 Craft Adhesive~ This is a well loved glue by crafters and jewelry
makers. Many people who lke to work and make jewelry absolutely love this glue and won't use anything else. It
dries clear and has been specially formulated to meet high performance industrial requirements. It provides excellent
adhesion to wood, metal, glass, fiberfglass, ceramics, leather, rubber, vinyl and many plastics. It is even acide free
once fully cured. Many glues don't actually dry-they cure and this is what provides the good bond. What really
intriqued me about this glue is that it is even washer/dryer safe. Investing in good glues is never a mistake!
It comes packaged in a 2 oz. tube. I checked with the mfg. for freezing- it can be frozen & thawed up to 11 times.
$5.69
UHU Glue Stick~This is the colored stick (purple) which makes it nice because you
can see where you have laid down your glue and it dries clear. I have used this brand for years and has been a favorite
since the beginning of my stamping addiction/collection. This is the larger stick, .74oz and is non-toxic, washable
and acid free. It is also made in Germany- who knew!
$2.45
Judikins Diamond Glaze~This product is similar to the Aleene's Paper Glaze above.
It is a water based dimensional glaze and adhesive. You can use it directly on your artwork for a raised glass-like
finish. It can also be thinned with water for a lacquer like finish. Create custom colors by adding
a small amount of dye ink. As an adhesive, you can use to add your glitter, beads, glass, plastic and even your
vellum. I have tried several different brands of dimensional glaze. Although some may have a personal preference,
I really haven't noticed a difference between brands. This is a glue and NOT A resin. You just use one layer
to seal a project. It cannot be used for multiple layers over a project.
Packaged in a 2 fl. oz. plastic bottle. See some additional use tips at the bottom of the page.....

Glossy Accents by Ranger~ I am always amazed at the number of products
on the market and how you sometimes pass over them without realizing what a treasure they are. This is one of those
products. It seemed that at CHA 2008, many companies were using this product for their make-it/take-its.
This is a clear dimensional adhesive, You can use this on top of something to add dimension or bring attention to it,
much like Judikins or Aleene's, but I particulary liked it as an adhesive to glue things into the metal pendants, like the
Patera pendants or Amate pendants. I also used it as an adhesive to put embellishments onto a wood mirror and it worked
great, even on a tiny light bulb. It dries to a hard, clear glossy finish and comes with a fine tip for precise application.
Remember, as with most dimensional adhesives- don't shake it! - this creates air bubbles. Comes in a 2 oz. plastic bottle.
The sample shown right is a metal covered disc covered in paper with glossy accents applied over top.
$5.99
Do you have enough double stick Terrifically Tacky Tape?
Ranger Crackle Accents~This is another glaze medium but it is also a one step crackle too.
I just love this, really adds a nice look to items. I have also put the crackle accent on and then when that dried,
I applied a coat of the regular glossy accents from Ranger (shown further up on this page). It comes in a 2 ox.
bottle. You can create a crackled look on most poruouse surfaces.

Sample of metal disc covered with paper and then crackle applied on top and then the plain
glossy accents over the dried crackle. She has some serious aging going on.
Sample with paper covered domino, crackle applied and after that dried the regular glossy accents
was applied. Sorry this didn't scan better. I have a square bead topped with a Swarovski crystal on the bottom and
the extra height and dimension makes the bottom image blurry.
Ranger Matte Accents Dimensional Adhesive~
If you are looking for this product and can't find it- it has been discontinued by its manufacturer- Ranger.
Try the Ranger Glossy or Crackle Accents.
Weldbond Space Age Glue-2 Oz Bottle~This is a glue, sealer and bonding agent. The
longer it sets , the stronger it gets. It will also bond most anything-wood, tile, glass, leather, foam, cork, metal
and more. It is also universal- it works fast to permanently join many products to themselves as well as each other.
You can even glue bricks, plaster, cement, concrete, building panels and more. It works with mosaics also. Pretty
cool stuff! It is also concentrated so it will give up to twice the coverage of other adhesvies and is acid free,
non- toxic and non-flammable. You can use it as a primer for porous surfaces too. It's a weatherproofer,
dustproofer, hardener and bonding agent. The mfg says to mix Weldbond with sawdust, grout, cement or plaster and be
amazed at the tremendous strength it offers your repair work. It dries clear and is non-staining and will not become
brittle with age-guaranteed! It is highly water-resistant and is impervious to petroleum, oil, grease, salt, molds,
fungi, alkalies and weak acids. It withstands all climatic conditions after curing. So I guess it is pretty "space
age". As with all glues though- Do Not Allow to Freeze in Liquid Condition!
