Finding the right adhesive for the right project can be a "sticky situation".  Photo splits do not work for everything, especially when gluing small things together.  Some glues are not good for small things because the dispenser allows to much glue to come out.  Sailor Corporation of America has two adhesive products that are easy to use and are great for just about anything. 

The Sailor rolling ball 2-in-1 glue pen is perfect for gluing the tiniest of things- the first time I used it I was hooked.  I do a lot of projects with punch pieces, especially the little 1/8” circle.  The ball point glue pen allows just enough glue so that when I place the circle on my project, glue doesn’t squish out from underneath.  I really hate smudges on my layouts and since I have been using this product, I haven’t had this problem.  If you use punches or die cuts in your designs, this glue pen is a must.

Another adhesive product that Sailor carries is the 2-in-1 Glue Marker.  This product has a thick, felt tip and can be used on larger pieces like die cuts.  My favorite use for the Glue Marker is when I need to glue down strips or border die cuts.  First, I get and old 12 x 12 sheet protector (you may need to “create” an old sheet protector) and lay it on my table.  I place the strip on top of the  sheet protector and run my Glue Marker down the length of the strip or die cut.  If there is any excess glue, it stays on my “old” sheet protector and not on my work table.

A “2-in-1” adhesive can be used two ways.  If you put the glue on something and let it dry until the glue is clear before you adhere it to the second surface, it will become a temporary adhesive.  It will be a little tacky and feel similar to a post memo note.  If you adhere the two pieces of paper before the glue dries, it will have a permanent bond.  I recommend using the permanent method for papers that will be in your scrapbook.  Use the temporary method only if you want something to be removable or you are "trying out" a layout.
