Art Glitter Glue VS Bearly Art Glue | HONEST REVIEW

[@GettinBye1]

I've been using AGG for about a year now, I only recently heard about Bearly. I appreciate the review because like most crafters, we tend to want what everyone is using! Since neither out performed the other, I have no viable reason to switch. One thing for I'd caution to those getting the AGG is that Amazon will ship it during cold months, but that doesn't mean it will be guaranteed, so be careful where you purchase from.

[@MultiplicityCrafts]

Thanks so much for watching, Tracie! I appreciate your comment. 💕

[@victoriousvalentine9779]

That’s so important for everyone to know. It’s worth noting that the AGG company actually refuses to deliver it during the colder months.

[@lindacastro2688]

Thank you for taking the time to do such a careful and thorough comparison. It was exactly the information I was hoping to find.

[@MultiplicityCrafts]

That is great to know, Linda! I am grateful for your kind words and happy it was of help to you.

[@mystichris1543]

I have the Bearly Art glue, and have found that it will warp very thin papers when attaching to standard weight cardstock. My preference at this time is NUVO liquid adhesive, but shop around for the best price. Thanks very much for the review!

[@toodlerue]

I have been using AGG for about 15 years & I love it! If you are ever in Cottonwood, AZ (It's just less then 2 hours from Phoenix or 1/2 hour from Sedona) you have to stop into the AG studio! They have bowls of glitter everywhere!!! On Saturdays they usually have make & takes or do body tattoos. Such a fun place!

[@MultiplicityCrafts]

Bowls of glitter?! Yes please! Haha! 😊 Aaah, so dreamy! 💕 It's definitely an amazing glue. Thanks for your great comment, Ruthann.

This is just the comparison I wanted to see. Your voice is so soothing and a pleasure to listen to. That is a win/win for me. Thank you. Barbara in Dallas

[@MultiplicityCrafts]

Thank you, Barbara! You're so kind.

[@dixieblasberg7405]

I use them interchangeably but actually prefer Bearly Art. I have best luck getting a better attachment. Also don't like to worry that it may have gotten too cold during shipping.

[@KonaSitkaRose]

I've been wanting to know if there is much difference between these two adhesives. Thank you so much for showing us and making the video. It's very helpful and your voice is soothing to listen to! 🥰

[@MultiplicityCrafts]

Aww, thank you so much!!

[@denisecarpenter4326]

Great comparison! I’ve been using AGG for several years now. I didn’t know I was supposed to twist the cap on though. I tried BAG once but it just seemed like it was AGG watered down which is why it takes a little longer to dry. If I need more moving time I simply put it on a little thicker and that really helps. Of course, you would not want to apply it too close to the edges. As far as clogging goes, if I haven’t used it for a few days I just take it to my sink, run water through the tip using my paper piercing tool to clean it out and it’s clean in seconds. I live in a cold climate so always stock up in warm weather months. I’ve never had any issues where it went bad. I also buy it when I can find the best deals. 😊

[@BammyNC]

Thanks for your review. It was very thorough. I have used both glues and currently have both in my stash. In my experience, the AGG dries just a bit faster than the BAG, which I prefer. Both clog if you leave them uncapped for long. I love that the BAG can be shipped year round but all in all I prefer my AGG and use the BAG as backup.

[@MultiplicityCrafts]

Thanks so much for letting me know your experience with both glues.

[@esthermower3280]

Thank you for taking the time to review these two products. I use Art Glitter glue and was thinking about switching over to Bearly Art Glue.

[@MultiplicityCrafts]

My pleasure, Esther. 👍🏻

[@faiythgray8638]

Wonderful comparison!! I have been considering the BAG, having used the AGG for about a year now. The difference that caught my eye is AGG said GLASS and BAG said FABRIC ... I am more interested in the fabric as opposed to glass adherence. Adding lace and bits of fabric to paper occurs much more often for me so I am going to try out the BAG. Thank you so much!!

[@MultiplicityCrafts]

You are very welcome, Faiyth.

[@denisecarpenter4326]

I use AGG on fabric with great success.

[@Cre8tiveConnexionsbyLillia]

When AG was designed, it was for microfine glitter techniques. A popular one was using it on acetate to make stained glass effects.

[@HeidiLilley]

I have had the art glitter glue and I am not sure why but I constantly had problems with it clogging. I loved the way it worked but I found I could not squeeze the bottle with the fine tip on it, not enough strength in my hands. The bearly art glue I have had no problem with, I can squeeze it and I get a nice fine line and I've had no clogging at least as of yet I'm going to continue using this glue for now anyway. Thanks for the comparison

[@MultiplicityCrafts]

Very good information to take note of, my friend. Thanks for watching. 💕

[@alona587]

Thanks for being honest!

[@ginamosleybivens3760]

I switched from Art Glitter Glue to Bearly Art and have no plans to go back**Bearly Art gives me more wiggle room and being somewhat still new to card making, this is a plus**Also the storage tip is less likely to get lost on my desk(LOL)

[@MultiplicityCrafts]

Hi Gina, thank you for sharing your experience. I am glad the Bearly Art Glue is working out so well for you. I am a seasoned cardmaker and I still need plenty of wiggle room, LOL! 😁 Happy crafting! Let me know if you ever need help with anything.

[@rochellenowik9875]

I am a long time used of both glues. I prefer the Bearly Art Glue for two reasons. The fine tip nozzle for AG glue would frequently gum up during long craft sessions causing me to stop and dig out the blob. Very annoying. The AG glue is a bit more gummy in my opinion. The Bearly Art Glue bottle is less difficult to apply glue. I do not need to squeeze the bottle much to get a flow of glue. The ability to order year round is a plus also. The nozzle for each fine tip differ slightly; the AG tip is ever so slightly bigger as is am able to use a "Topper Stopper" but cannot use it with my BA tip. Both are fabulous glue but for now I recommend Bearly Art besides the word Glitter is just confusing for a glue without glitter.

[@MultiplicityCrafts]

rochelle nowik Thank you for the valuable input. I am curious if the cleaning pin that comes with the Bearly Art glue can be used for storage... but I didn't want to try since I was afraid it might ruin my whole bottle of glue if it didn't work.

[@rochellenowik9875]

Yes the pin is stainless steel. If you lose or bend the pin buy replacement pin at the fabric store. You MUST buy the rust proof straight pins.

[@Pebblesmas]

@@MultiplicityCrafts Simon Says Stamp has a special stopper ("bearly glue rubber stopper" they call it) you can put on top of the fine tip, so you don't have to permanently use the needle or the stop that the Bearly Glue also provides (but don't like to constantly change tips)

[@Cre8tiveConnexionsbyLillia]

Art glitter glue was designed to dry quickly, and clear , to do the on trend technique at the time, which was using microfine glitter on mandala style stamped images and creating a stained glass effect with the glitter on acetate, hence the name. It was great as other glues took too long to dry and glitter would smudge/blow off card ,or would be too thick and you couldn't get the fine definition needed or you could see the glue through the glitter. It was not made for gluing one thing to another although it can do that. I may buy some Bearly for using in the precision press for adding dies to shadow die, and mat and layering, thanks to these comments about drying time. I will buy the smaller bottles of AG for original purpose.

[@senoraallende]

Such a thorough review! Thank you! 😊

[@MultiplicityCrafts]

My pleasure, Jennifer!

[@53islandgirl]

I have never tried the Bearly art glue, but have been using Art Glitter for over 15 years and I love it! I had originally bought it for the stained glass technique with acetate and loose glitter and works to perfection. I have had two 8 oz. bottles that I bought on clearance when Paper Zone closed their doors for over 10 years and am still using it! A little goes a long way!

[@MultiplicityCrafts]

That's awesome! Thanks for sharing your experience.

[@chrisarlington1792]

I thought to watch this just before I order a large refill bottle of Art Glitter glue. I am not sure what makes this video such a good one, but it is just excellent; detailed and clear, presented so well and the visuals on the 'side-by-side' very professional....just so good 👍 I am just about to scroll through your videos list now...to 'save' some videos to watch later 😊

[@4551mac]

this is an absolutely fabulous video. Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts and demos.. I actually really like both, but living in PA in the winter cannot get the AGG... that was why I tried BAG.. Glad I was able to try both...thank you again.. happy crafting !!

[@MultiplicityCrafts]

You're very welcome! ☺️

[@Fifi_Is_My_Name-O]

So far as the cost goes, the AGG looks to be more expensive because of their shipping charges, BAG gives you free shipping... I wanted a 2 oz bottle to start with because I'm used to working with Tombo (mono multi) which is a pretty small bottle. I bought the 2 oz BAG with the included tip kit, plus I bought the rubber stopper for the ultra fine tip (thought I'd try it out, it was .99 cents) and my total was $12.48. The 2 oz AGG plus the tip kit comes to 8.70 before shipping is added, but with their 4.66 shipping charge the total is $13.36... so even though it may not seem like it at first, the BAG is slightly less expensive.

[@MultiplicityCrafts]

That's very insightful... thanks for sharing this info. Let me know what you think of the BAG. I love mine! The only thing I noticed was if it got too warm (I had it sitting near a warm metal lamp base) it was a little thinner than usual. I would assume the same applies if it gets too warm in shipping. But normally, its an awesome product.

[@isabelborrero-gonzalez3947]

I've been using the AGG, but next time I need to purchase, I may try the Bearly Art Glue

[@MultiplicityCrafts]

Thanks for watching! 😊

[@janetg.]

Now that it's 4 years later, you should do another review. The Bearly Art glue went through massive marketing strategies last year and everyone jumped on their bandwagon. However, in reality, even though both glues dry clear, the Art Glitter Glue doesn't have as much as a shine as a dried glue unlike Bearly Art Glue.

[@Cre8tiveConnexionsbyLillia]

Thanks. I have used AG glue with microfine glitter for years, but the refill bottle of Bearly Arts is a lot cheaper here and I noticed it is getting great reviews. I am buying a precision press so would love to hear more comparisons. I use parchment paper a lot.

[@patriciarcarmichael1219]

Very helpful! Just ordered some of the Bearly Art glue; Art Glitter glue has been my favorite so we'll see how the new glue works for journals.!

[@mpbailey18]

Found Bearly Art Glue in 2020 and LOVE it! Glue itself is great, the "no effort" squeeze bottle with fine tip is fabulous and hasn't ever clogged (I do keep pin in the tip)! Art Glitter glue & the fine tip gave me clogging issues over the years which was frustrating. Sold on Bearly Art & tossed the others away!

[@MultiplicityCrafts]

Thanks so much for sharing your experience with the Bearly Art Glue. I appreciate your input, Marilyn! I have lost my tips to my Bearly Art Glue since making this video - haha! I need to deep clean out all of my craft area to locate them.

[@MultiplicityCrafts]

@@mpbailey18 You are very wise!! 😊

[@Cre8tiveConnexionsbyLillia]

Glue does not clog if you empty the tip before recapping or adding stainless steel pin. Hold bottle upright and squeeze at the shoulders, tap against work surface a few times so air in bottle moves and glue slides back down into bottle. If it does clog , ammonia and hot water will melt the clogged glue.

[@SueLD]

Thanks for the review. they seem pretty similar. I only have experience with the Art Glitter Glue.

Hi Sue, great to see your comment. Have a wonderful week! 😊

[@shadowguard3578]

Thank you for this thorough review. I haven’t tried either glue, but after watching this video I think I’ll go with the Bearly Art Glue since it’s stable during shipping all year round. Also, the word ‘Glitter’ puts be off the Art Glitter Glue, even though I like glittery and shimmery things. Yeah, it’s a silly reason.

[@rebeccah.h.8838]

A couple things I noticed in the video, first, you did not have to cut the Glitter glue bottle to put on your fine tip. Second, you can switch the whole bottle top with refill bottles. I also received more glue for the same cost for Bearly Art Glue kit. I like both and have both. I just prefer the Art Glitter Glue, especially because I don't have to keep switching tips. I just use fine tip for everything. That works for me.

[@MultiplicityCrafts]

Thank you for commenting. 😊

[@cherieb.5409]

I have been using Tonic, and it's awful always clogged. I think I will try Bearley art glue

[@KarenShirey]

Thank you for this review. Art Glitter Glue is still my favorite! Using the pin to store the bottle is much preferred IMO. I rarely have a need for multi tips as the fine point stainless is my preference anyway. Plus I use a heat gun a lot and the warning on the Bearly Art Glue worries me.

[@jeannewagner8133]

Thank you for this review! I have just gotten back into paper crafts these past couple of years and I never had heard of Art Glitter Glue before, which I find odd. I had been using Tombow glue and glue sticks. However, I saw Cathy Zielske use Bearly Art glue in a couple of her videos and I loved the precision metal applicator so i ordered a small 2 oz bottle to try it out. After that is when I started hearing about Art Glitter Glue. Go figure. However, since Bearly Art glue comes with the tips so you don't have to order them separately, and it also "seems" to be less toxic (because it does not have the same California warning on it that the Art Glitter glue does), I'll stick with Bearly Art glue (pun intended lol).

[@MultiplicityCrafts]

😊You're very welcome, Jeanne. I really appreciate you sharing your thoughts.

[@agnesd3975]

Thanks for the awesome comparison. I will be buying the Bearly Art Glue. The cancer warning on the other one kills it for me. I watched my parents go through hell only to die of cancer way too young so I try to avoid all things with cancer warnings, no matter how small.

[@MultiplicityCrafts]

Thanks for watching, Agnes. Blessings.

[@debsheets]

I think I will stick with Art Glitter Glue. Partly because I like just having one pin to close the bottle up, I would be misplacing the others all the time. I appreciate you doing this review.

[@MultiplicityCrafts]

I actually did misplace mine, haha! So, I poured my Bearly Art Glue into my Art Glitter Glue empty bottle with the pin. 😊 I like both glues so either works and you can put a pin in the Bearly Art Glue also. Glad you found this helpful and found a great glue to work with.

[@ButtercupK]

Great video!!! The only comparison not demonstrated, is the actual time you might have available to make adjustments to the position of the paper after adhesion. I find Art Glitter gives almost no time and Bearly Arts gives me that tiny little bit of extra time, I sometimes need. I use both glues regularly, since for many applications, I simply want fast adhesion and in other cases, I may want to make a fine adjustment before it dries completely.

[@Cre8tiveConnexionsbyLillia]

Yes , thanks for confirming this. I use AG for its original purpose, using mandala stamps and microfine glitter, so drying quickly is important.

[@cpech2]

I have used both Art glitter dries too fast where Bearly art gives t me time to readjust my card stock but so expensive I do like that it has the glue top kit! so both are geat but glitter art is the one I use mostly for cost reasons, I use tiny bottles with the rubber plug that wraps around the bottle so i never lose the plug :( instead of a needle

[@MultiplicityCrafts]

[@Cre8tiveConnexionsbyLillia]

Thanks I was looking for a comparison. I need the glue to dry fast when using microfine glitter, which is what AG is designed for.

I just got besrly art glue. I have hated liquid glue with a passion previously. Tombow and i are not friends and the only good thing fir elmers is slime. I had heard of art glitter glue before but didnt want to special order it. Anyway, i live that the bearly art glue does not warp my paper. It dries very fast and i can put together Cricut cut pieces with ease and the pieces stay together. I had relied on my tape glun for everything. But now i am a total convert. If art glitter glue does dry faster then i wont be buying. There is hardly wiggle room with bearly art glue. It drys so fast. Thanks for the revuew, i gad been curious

Just the video I was searching for! It's time for me to order some glue and I watched a YTuber using Barely Art Glue and thought to myself that it looks an awfully lot like Art Glitter Glue and wonder what's the difference. I've used AGG for years and have been very happy, but knowing the cold months are coming I was going to order some today. After watching your video I think I'll give Barely Art Glue a try. I like that there are extra tips and the fact that I can order during winter is an added plus. Thanks so much for the honest review!

The Bearly Glue campout with a rubber stopper in the last year or so. You can store it that way now. I haven't used the AGG but I do like my Bearly a lot. I am a person who needs extra wiggle room.

[@MultiplicityCrafts]

Yes! Isn't that great to have the rubber stopper now? I also found that the cleaning pin which comes with the Bearly Art Glue works as a storage tip, also - provided the glue is stored upright. I'm with you, Mary... I definitely need the extra wiggle room! 😃

[@amkarei]

QUESTION: Does the Art Glitter Glue's METAL cap have threads that cut into the black plastic that then keeps it attached? The black plastic tip does NOT seem to have threads molded in that would accept a screw fit nozzle.

[@MultiplicityCrafts]

Yes, the metal cap has threads inside of it that dig into the soft plastic tip and create it's own threads as you screw it on.

[@amkarei]

@@MultiplicityCrafts Thank you for your response! Be well and happy crafting!

[@Cre8tiveConnexionsbyLillia]

I move my AG to a smaller bottle with a microfine tip and pin in lid. Always squeeze shoulders of upright bottle and tap against work surface a few times so glue returns to bottle and out of tip completely before recapping, then glue does not clog and pin does not break.

[@Schatzie301]

Odd that the Bearly Art Glue says it can be shipped year round but the label says do not freeze or heat. Where I live, any glue that sits in my mailbox in the middle of summer would definitely be heated and conversely, it might well freeze if left I. The mailbox when the temp is well below freezing. I personally love Art Glitter glue but have never tried the Bearly Art glue. Sounds like they are pretty much a wash.

[@MultiplicityCrafts]

Thanks for your input, Mary Ellen. My Bearly Art Glue got too warm once and it did make it watery. However, once it cooled, it seemed okay. I don't have experience with it freezing but it is supposed to rethaw and regain its former consistency. I agree that the labeling is a bit confusing but maybe it is cautioning not to purposely freeze or heat?? I like both of them but my first love is the Art Glitter Glue. 😉

Hi Craft Princess ...QUESTIONS, p l e a s e!! Is there more than one BEACON product? If so, which do you use for paper crafting? Does it DRY MATTE? Does it WRINKLE or WARP thin papers? Thank you for whatever help you can give me!

[@janiethecraftprincess]

@@amkarei There are many Beacon adhesives, all with a different purpose. I have been using Beacon 3 in 1 for about 10 years and also use Beacon Fabri Tac. Both are great for paper crafting, but Fabri Tac can be used for many other things such a wood, leather, fabric, etc. It does not wrinkle or warp anything I've used it on. I don't know how thin of paper you are referring too though. About it drying matte......I guess it might be matte. If I have any excess on something I just rub it off, so I really don't pay attention to whether it's matte or not. It rubs off easy with your fingers or with a glue eraser. I love it and have tried many other glues just to through them away. I keep plenty of Beacon 3 in 1 and Fabri Tac on hand so I'm never without it. It holds beautifully......quick tack but time for a little wigggle room....and have never had anything come apart. I use it in almost every video I make if you happen to watch my channel. I use it for making cards, mini albums, and all of my paper crafting. I also use it for my home decor projects. I would highly recommend it.

The Bearly Art Glue gives more wiggle time but is still fast drying.

[@jeannewagner8133]

I have only used Bearly Art glue and it does dry quickly. The thicker you apply it, the more wiggle room there is. I have applied it quite thinly although evenly, all over a surface and maybe had a couple of seconds before it was too stuck to move, even with moistened fingers. I applied it more thickly and it gave me plenty of time to adjust and get just right into place.

[@Cre8tiveConnexionsbyLillia]

I know this question is old , but for benefit of new watchers, art glitter was specifically designed for drying quickly. It helped in the trend of the time, which was rubber mandala design stamps , which we stamped and embossed several times, cutting out in decoupaged style layers and then we decorated/ coloured with microfine glitter. AG stopped wastage of the expensive glitter moving / blowing off, with glue that took too long to dry.

[@donnapusti7859]

This was very helpful for me. One question I have though,are the caps and tips on the 2 products interchangeable? In other words,will the cap from the Bearly fit the art glitter bottles?

[@MultiplicityCrafts]

Hmm, I don't know for certain. If it were the same ounces... possibly. However, it would be a risk to try since it might not get a tight seal.

I’ve been soaking in vinegar due to the rust build up…I’m very particular and normally clean up tips but this is impossible to get clean. I love the glue! Any tricks?

[@MultiplicityCrafts]

Oh no, so sorry to hear that, Cindy. I am afraid that you may just have to order a new bottle and tip. Thankfully, they are affordable.

[@AR-xi9gn]

Mine did the same. I just glued the ball back on.

[@KonaSitkaRose]

I've done this, too. Turned the top of my glue rust colored.

[@fatimareyes2004]

Thank you for this video. This is a great comparison because I’ve been wondering which is better. I currently use the Art Glitter Glue. Do you have a preference on the glues? Just curious.

[@MultiplicityCrafts]

You're very welcome. I am sort of 50/50 on the glues. I find both glues to be very strong hold. I prefer the fine metal tip of the AGG. The BAG can be shipped in cold weather, but it got a little watery in the heat. However, I like that the BAG gives me more time to work with than the AGG (the AGG is very fast drying) I am very happy with both. 😊

[@fatimareyes2004]

@@MultiplicityCrafts thank you! It’s great that both are such strong glues, feels like you can always have a backup glue with either one. Yes I agree I love the fine tip on the AGG as well. Thanks for your great video and feedback, much appreciated.

My pleasure, Marian!

[@denisebryant3376]

Thanks for the info! I just got some Bearly Art Glue but haven't even opened it yet. I haven't tried Art Glitter Glue. I do wonder about cleaning the fine tip on the Bearly Art Glue, since it isn't meant to use the pin for storage.... any suggestions?

[@MultiplicityCrafts]

If you get the tip kit, it comes with a storage tip and cleaning pin. It is possible that it could be stored with the pin but I haven't tried it so didn't want to advise it. Also, the flat lid that comes with the glue is great for storage. But yes, the pin works great if you get a clog in the fine metal tip.

[@rochellenowik9875]

I leave the pin in my Bearly Art Glue when not in use. If you lose the pin do not use just any straight pin as it will rust; purchase rust-proof straight pins at your fabric shop.

[@MultiplicityCrafts]

rochelle nowik Do you use the pin that comes with the BA glue?

[@rochellenowik9875]

Yes I do

[@jenniferbrady6870]

I watched your comparison of the two glues. However when you were doing the price comparison I think you may have not mentioned that the art glitter glue is 2 oz whereas the bearly glue is 4oz . so even though the bearly glue is $1 more it gives you twice as much glue and the tips come for free. Without a doubt the bearly glue is the better value.

[@MultiplicityCrafts]

jennifer brady Actually, the prices are correct since I was comparing the 2 ounce on both. 😊

[@sllygred]

Really great review!

[@MultiplicityCrafts]

Thank you, Vanessa... I am so happy it was helpful for you!

[@chrisarlington1792]

Did you know you can buy a spare tip for the 8oz bottle that you can put your metal top on?

[@MultiplicityCrafts]

In the Bearly Art Glue or Art Glitter Glue?

[@chrisarlington1792]

Art glitter glue

[@denisebendickson8593]

great review. I did purchase the Art glitter glue but one thing i did not like about it is that once you put it together with another piece of paper there is no play in it. With intricate pieces you have to glue together and need at least a few seconds where you can place it and move it ever so slightly. Hope this makes sense what i am saying lol. Like with tacky glue there is some give when trying to glue down and you can move it to make sure the pieces are going to fit together properly. I might buy some of the Bear glue and try it. I love the idea of the metal tips for thin lines becase with other glues i get it all over the place where it should not go. It could be my bad gluing and not the glue I missed the kindergartner gluing class as well as the cutting class and I am 55 LOL Going to check your website out and see what else you show us.. Great video thanks

[@MultiplicityCrafts]

Hi Denise, I agree with you. The Art Glitter glue dries super fast but has a great hold! I feel my Bearly Art glue is just as strong but gives me a bit more time to make adjustments. Thanks so much for watching. 😊

[@Iziszv]

Simple question. Please. How long does it take to dry?

[@MultiplicityCrafts]

With both glues, it is within seconds. The Art Glitter Glue dries fastest... approximately in 10 seconds or so.

[@Iziszv]

@@MultiplicityCrafts Thank you so very much! 😌

[@debbiewhite3211]

My fine tip is always clogged on my art glitter clue and I spend alot of time unclogging it. Is the fine tip on the bearly art any easier to unclog?

[@MultiplicityCrafts]

In a way, I think it's a bit easier to unclog only because the pin it comes with is longer. You likely already do this, but wanted to mention to make sure pin head sits directly flush with metal tip for storage and there isn't a thin layer of glue near the pin head preventing this seal (or on the nozzle of the fine metal tip). Another option Bearly Art Glue has is a rubber stopper option. Both glues definitely have the ability to clog, but I think the longer pin is key. Also, I always store my glue upright. I hope this helps you Debbie.

[@chrisarlington1792]

I always rinse the tip hot water in a cup and a q tip don't have an isdue

[@julieb8946]

I leave my steel pin in my Bearly Art glue and never have issues with clogging.

[@amkarei]

@@MultiplicityCrafts I've seen comments singing praises for both of these products but I'd VERY much like to find a liquid glue that DRIES MATTE, cuz I can never gauge the amount needed to stick down the EDGES withOUT oozing out from under!

[@MultiplicityCrafts]

@@amkarei I still find a very small amount of shine with these glues but it's not bad. The thing I had to learn was to put my glue not so close the the edge of the paper as this will allow room for it to seep. I hope this helps.

[@amkarei]

@@MultiplicityCrafts That'd be a neat trick if I could master it, but I'm dealing with a botched cataract surgery, so I "don't always SEE what I'm looking at" !! Makes it difficult to follow a line so to speak.

I hate my Art Glitter glue. The black cap is always clogged. The glue is never liquid enough either regardless of the room temperature. I cannot win. Using Elmer's school glue is more reliable. 😒

[@MultiplicityCrafts]

Oh no... I am sorry to hear about your experience. I will say, since it's so fast-drying, it needs to be re-capped if it's idle for more than a few seconds. Bearly Art Glue might be another option for you. But, Elmers is always a good, reliable glue too.

[@IshaniScards]

I loved the thumbnail with the boxing gloves. I don't get any of these here in my country, but I have heard praises of art glitter a lot and lately bearly art on some IG stories. I love the bearly art has various tips! Thanks for the TIPS 😄

[@MultiplicityCrafts]

Thanks so much... what kind of glue do you use, my friend?

[@IshaniScards]

I use whatever is available..the white glue used for kids projects 🙈 Also Aileens tacky for more strength sometimes.
