3M™ CraftMount™ Spray Adhesive - Permanent - 200ml

Often needs to be re stuck on edges but on saying this it is the best spray glue I have found to date but expensive

A classic of the graphic design industry, 3M permanent spray mount allows you a bit of time to reposition the artwork and then comes gradually unstuck over a period of time. Everyone in graphic design knows this, so it's more a feature of the adhesive than a draw back. If you're not a designer, and are looking for something really permanent, this may not do the job.I have two more things to say if you're considering buying this for the first time, rather than just replacing a can you already have.First, take elaborate pains to cover everything in the vicinity, and never spray over carpet, no matter how much newspaper you have down. Our designer once spray mounted a quantity of A0s in our new office. He put down about 8x the area in newspaper, and we thought it would be fine. Over the years that followed, an ever more visible window of clean carpet surround by dirty carpet appeared, as the area beyond the newspaper attracted dirt which then couldn't be shifted by the cleaner. If possible spray in a box surrounded by hard surfaces which really can be got clean.Second, if you're mounting paper to board (for example) the board will start to bend within 12 hours. This is normal, because the spray mount contracts as it hardens. The solution is to spray mount a blank piece of the same paper onto the other side of the board. I never knew this until a craftsman explained it to me.

I bought this to use with silk for small silk paintings I've done to make greetings cards. I wanted glue that offered good coverage but wasn't too thick so that it wouldn't bleed through/stain the silk. This offers a nice thin spray which is perfect for silk, but has two problems: (1) that you get the occasional thicker blob that can be a little unsightly, but (2) more annoyingly for me, that you are supposed to hold it 20cm from the surface you want to spray, meaning that for my small target area it is hard to aim reliably and I have had to create an overlay with a window in to ensure I don't get the glue all over the front of the card. Now I've made this it's perfect.

I use this for paper crafts when needing to spray embellishments that double sided sticky tape is more tricky. I bought this time in particular for attaching some dried leaves and with a bit a practice it does a good job. Just recommend you do it somewhere outside or with plenty of ventilation and a bit of counter top protection - into shoe box is a good idea. The spray did appear a bit thick and bubbly to me at first but it did work and dried well with no residue around the item so was generally pleased. As I say its a bit of an art form in itself and hence why I give 4*

I used this to stick up foam-based sound dampening tiles and a few other bits and pieces onto the office wall.One thing you will need to look out for is to use it sparingly, only a thin film is needed, any more and it will take a bit longer to reach its full adhesiveness and you may end up with a lot of residues if you take the item back off the wall, so only a thin film coat is needed.

Very good bit of kit. Was ordered to complement my craft set but works really well as a household adhesive too. Very, very strong hold, can take a bit of weight too, good spray action that was quite accurate. The spray nozzle has popped off a couple times but goes right back on, no tube will come out with it so it won't inconvenience you one bit to fix. I've even used it to re-stickify some sticky labels; I spray on the adhesive with the labels over some newspaper, left the adhesive to air dry overnight and woke up to still find them really sticky. I left it another few hours before sticking them back on and it worked perfectly, adheres well but still easily removed. Recommended.

I have been using 3M sprays for some considerable time now and therefore know how good they are. I recently ran out and went to buy some on the high street. I was surprised at the asking price and stupidly went for a cheaper yet well known suppliers own brand; it was rubbish, spraying messy thick gloop everywhere which for paper work was hopeless. I therefore went to Amazon to source the real stuff and found these really good deals. A very fast delivery meant that I was up and running again with the only product worth buying; superior in every way. A class act and, for the serious crafter/artist etc it sometimes pays to buy the best if you want the best results. Highly recommended.

althought i have followed the instructions on the can, it didn't seem to be permanent.I have made some glitter jar with it, and although it glued amazingly initially, after handling the jar several times, most of the glitter fell off.It might've been the type of glitter as well, but i would've thought that it will stick a little bit longer.Otherwise, I was fairly pleased with it, hence why I only gave it 4 stars.
