It seems to me that most stamping products have either bad batches or uneven response depending on user variations. That's why I said individual results may vary!!!Susan Raihalahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03018860599601419989noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9008375791436102784.post-46267242433538392532012-12-13T13:23:41.834-05:002012-12-13T13:23:41.834-05:00The Tsukineko Essential Glue Pad I have won't ...The Tsukineko Essential Glue Pad I have won't even hold ultrafine glitter. I tried it for New Year's cards and the glitter was constantly EVERYWHERE. So little of it stuck where I wanted it to stick. I love all the other Tsukneko products I've ever tried so expected the glue pad to work but it didn't. I have not tried other glue pads... just gave up on it since a good company like Tsukinedo's didn't work. I sometimes think about trying to make some kind of "glue pad" of my own since I'd love to be able to "stamp and glitter", but so far I've been too lazy to try it! LOL!!

It goes on tacky, rather than having to wait or heat and wait etc. And it's proper tacky, like a thin layer of PVA glue. It does foiling, flock and glitter really well.Mrs Harryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02038441647911029089noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9008375791436102784.post-49199998838873762422012-12-13T10:51:38.889-05:002012-12-13T10:51:38.889-05:00Thanks for sharing your thoughts review. I've...Thanks for sharing your thoughts review. I've used the Essential Glue Pad with much success, especially with flock. It works the best on non-porous surfaces such as vellum and glossy paper but it will work very well on matte cardstock with some extra care. My favorite way to use the glue and flock is making DIY damask wallpaper background paper (black on black looks and feels especially nice). The secret is to smoosh/burnish the flock or glitter into the 'sticky' with your fingers (I actually hold the flocked/glittered piece in both hands and use my thumbs to first gently press in the flock or glitter and then press harder and rub just a little).

And it works on fine stamps too...have a peek on my blog, I have a few on there using it :)<br />Lizy xAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00907611748799754433noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9008375791436102784.post-4483180739691111562012-12-12T14:02:33.766-05:002012-12-12T14:02:33.766-05:00You can try it, Sue.

I doubt it would hurt the stamp unless you let it dry on the stamp, but I honestly think Elmer's even without water would be too runny and not work very well and probably warp the paper in the bargain. The Essential glue is really thick and sticky. Maybe a good paper glue like Scotch tacky glue or the mono adhesive glue in the white and green bottle would work that way.

I've often wondered.....if you took Elmer's washable liquid glue, mixed it with a little water, and then spread it on a paper towel as a stamp pad.....do you think it would work? Or hurt the stamps? Sounds like an after-Christmas experiment to me, and using a stamp I don't much care about just in case!
