How do you apply Cricut or diecut words that are thin or delicate - spray adhesive?

August 8th, 2007

Questions: This may sound elementary, but I can’t fine the answer anywhere.  When you produce all these delicate letters and words in open script and long chains, how do you stick it to the page, it wants to roll up, twist and these are so thin.  I thought of spray adhesive, but I don’t even see it as common on your adhesive list.
Thank you for you answer.  There are no suggestions in the Cricut
Manuals.  Once you get the finished cuts, you’re on your own to figure
out how to mount.
Answer:  Although I do not pretend to be a Cricut specialist (our local Roberts Craft actually has one in the store at all times), I would suggest using a spray adhesive or other kind of liquid adhesive (make sure the paper is thicker because liquids can bleed through - cardstock or thickers scrapbooking paper works well).  Especially when the letters are so thin that you can’t use a tape runner, double stick tape or something like that.  Another thing I like to use is from Glue Dots. They sell these thin little strips of adhesive called “glue lines” that aren’t as messy as the spray or liquid.  They are also perfect for adhering any other thin embellishment like ribbon.
