NATALIE TRICKETT looks at this useful product from Deluxe Materials.
Having just made my very first card kit (SQC5 Superquick C5 Four Red Brick Terraced House Backs) I found it surprising easy! All I needed was a pair of scissors or a scalpel and some Deluxe Materials Roket Card Glue!
The glue itself was brilliant, I’m quite clumsy so managed to get it all over everything, but it didn’t matter because it dried completely clear.
It’s a very satisfying product to use as the result is instant, you don’t need to wait for it to dry like you do with PVA before getting on with the next stage of the kit, so for people like me who don’t have the time to wait around it's perfect! The glue comes with a spare fine nozzle which was very handy as you really only need a very small amount of glue with each application for it to bond.
To use the glue unscrew the cap, there’s no need to chop off the top of the bottle as this is already done. Don’t squeeze the bottle but instead run it along the edge you need to apply it to as it’s a fairly thin glue and goes a long way. I would recommend using the nozzle supplied with the bottle; it saves a lot of wastage and gives you a very fine line of glue. Hold the sections you need to glue together for roughly 5 seconds and it’s bonded! Once I'd cut out all the pieces it took me about 10 minutes to stick together. I left it for a few hours to fully dry out just for caution and I was finished! If you need more precision then you can use the Pin Point Glue Syringe set. This gives you needle fine tips and dispensing syringes.
Roket Card Glue comes in a 50ml bottle; enough to build enough kits for a whole village!
