Would Tacky Glue Work...?

Question

i want to glue a puzzle to a board and put it in a frame
i have all the stuff but the glue
now i know there is specific glue for puzzles
but do you think tacky glue might work?

Answer 1

I have used tacky glue before on puzzels just be-careful. I wouldn't suggest usinging it all the time.

Answer 2

It should work fine.

"White glue" is what's most often used to glue regular puzzle pieces permanently, in fact , and tacky glue is just an extra thick version of a white glue.
White glues work best on porous surfaces... and paper/cardboard/wood are all porous. The only problem might be if the kind of "board" you used had a very slick surface, in which case just sanding it a bit before gluing should work well.

In fact, if you want to give the front of the puzzle a glossy finish, or just seal it from that side too, just thin down the tacky glue (or a regular white glue like Elmer's GlueAll,) then apply it and dry.. it will dry clear.

Answer 4

That stuff sticks most stuff....you can try it, but you know you will never be able to take it out right?

I teach first grade and we use it in everything.....go for it as long as you want to keep the puzzle together forever

Answer 5

Of course.
