Does the Elmer's School Gel stick as well as regular Elmers white glue?
I have tried a number of different adhesives on Q Vu card mounts, and
white Elmers seems to stick a lot better than glue sticks or liquid glue
pens etc. I plan to start using more Spicers again soon (possibly as
early as this weekend after I get my Everglades slides back from the
lab) and I would like to try glue rather than taping. -Linda
