Is that a gel press, that you call a grip mat? Or is a grip map something totally different?

[@mycraftydaydreams]

It's not a gel press! But it totally looks like one! The material is different, gel presses are more squishy where is grip mat feels more like a clear stamp and has less give to it. Grip mats are intended to be used to hold cardstock down while ink blending and all that, so it's a bit different from a gel press! Hope that helps :)

[@mycraftydaydreams]

What kind of glue do you like?

[@mycraftydaydreams]

Hi Robyn! I'm in Renton, too! I really like Bearly Arts liquid glue in a Gina K fine tip bottle! I have a list of supplies I used on these cards at the bottom of my blog post here: www.craftydaydreams.com/blog/lets-talk-grip-mats 😊

[@laurasutton1551]

I bought it was really disappointed it only held the first time & even after cleaning it it wouldn't hold my paper

[@mycraftydaydreams]

Oh no, I'm so sorry to hear that, Laura! The only time I came across trouble getting paper to stick to a grip mat was if the back of it was textured from running it through my die cut machine with a texture die. When I clean mine, so far I've only spritzed it with water, then wiped it dry with a microfiber cloth. Maybe reach out to Waffle Flower and see if they have any tips for you! 💗
