    Default Chipboard question

    Ok - I have recently discovered how much I love the look of chipboard letters in scrapbooking. But I have one question - I just wanted to know what is the best adhesive to use on chipboard? Which adhesives should I stay away from if any? Any other advice or tips?

    Thanks in advance!!!

    I love chipboard too and use it quite a lot.

    For larger pieces I use double sided tape but for the smaller pieces like letters, I run them through the Xyron.

    I agree on both the glue dots and double sided tape. Anything that is acid and lignin free! Chipboard is great to work with!

    Thanks! I was not sure if my regular adhesives would be strong enough (I switch between glue dots and a very old school tape runner I absolutely love).

    I am off to stock up on some chipboard - it is on sale this week!!!
