This glue is wonderful. Paper sticks perfectly flat or in the configuration you wish. However, I did not realize this glue is water soluble. Good for washing off application tools (scrapers, fingers, et al) but not for some of my other projects.

As the other review mentioned, this adhesive is a must-have for collage-making, or practically any other paper-based art or craft. It is called a "stickflat" glue because you can apply it as thick or as thin as you like and it doesn't cause your paper to buckle and warp as it would under other liquid-based glues and adhesives. The consistency is like a very thick vasoline, and if it begins to harden due to being exposed to open air, sprinkling water drops can re-introduce moisture and restore its potency. In using it in my own artwork, I find a metal or plastic butter knife to be perfect for applying the paste to the back of my collage scraps, and for cleanup I run the knife under cold water where the yes glue is easily rubbed away with your hand. Highly recommended and invaluable artist's tool!

Although calling it "glue" is a little misleading -- the product is really more of a paste in a tub - this adhesive does everything it claims! It bonds paper beautifully without wrinkling and stays flexible when dry. It's my first choice for collage, or for mounting paper artwork onto a backing. I also use it for book repairs, and it would be great for scrapbooking. (It's acid-free.)
