Tips & Tricks - Which Adhesive Works Best With Which Materials

It's always nice to have a reference for adhesives that you can go to before you try to stick something together unsuccessfully and have to start all over again sometimes having to re cut pieces of the project.

In the 2011/2012 Stampin' Up!® Annual Catalogue they had room for a table showing which adhesives worked best with which materials.  I have taken the information from that table and updated it for some of the newer adhesive options.
