Really good for junk journaling. Highly recommend this product

Totally Brilliant Craft Glue for Cardmaking Etc

Great glue, I was recommended this as I’m a crafter. I use this in junk journaling and card making. The nib is easy to clean with a quick wipe. I’ve been using this for a few weeks and it’s not clogged. This is a clear glue.

This was the glue I was needing. Because it’s not water based it sticks paper and card without causing warping. It also glues mats and layers without bumps under the surface or oozing . It has a slight smell which doesn’t bother me and could be difficult to squeeze if you have weak hands. For me it’s been a game changer.

This is my go to glue for my scrapbooking. It's really strong bondbut without warping the paper. Great glue.

Best glue on market, shame it's so expensive

Love this glue for my journal making….. will be ordering more shortly

This glue is clear, isn't runny, so it won't run down a sheet of paper, and does indeed adhere almost immediately, but in my experience the bond wasn't very strong even after waiting a couple of minutes. I experimented with a thin layer and a thick layer, and I could still peel the pages of paper apart after a couple of minutes.In contrast, a typical impact adhesive, also known as an instant contact adhesive (that comes in a red tube with white lettering) has a yellowish colour, is about as thick, but is slightly more stringy, seemed to make a bond slightly quicker when gluing paper together.I then tried an adhesive that comes in a white pen-shaped applicator with green end-caps, it is a type of mono liquid glue. One end has a fine nozzle with hole. The other end is a broad tip. That glue is slightly runnier (but still thick enough to stay where you apply it; about the consistency of PVA wood glue) but surprisingly bonds to paper within seconds once you place the other sheet of paper on top and gently press down, and if you try to peel it apart, the paper layer tears off.For my use-case, which was gift-wrapping using paper, the glue that bonded within seconds to a permanent bond, was ideal, because I don't want to hold down paper flaps for minutes at a time. So, unfortunately, I can't say the Beacon glue suited me at all. I will try other use-cases in future, but for paper-to-paper quick permanent bonding, this wasn't the glue I was looking for.
