Is this paper too thick to stay together with glue (I want to cut little gold crowns and didn't want to use staples)? What type of glue holds best?

I didn't have great results with any glue I tried but good results with a tape gun.

I use an old credit card or those free mock-up ones that come with credit card offers. Old gift cards work well too. Someone else said to use a brayer to smooth out the glue and make the paper stick well, that sounds like a good idea. My old jar is a little drier and thicker than my new jar of paste so I would spritz a light mist of water on top of the glue if it is a little thick so the paper can be slid over the paste to get wrinkles out. Otherwise it holds in place right away when I lay the paper down and wrinkles are harder to get out. If you jar is very fresh you might not need to do this--I would try a sample sheet of paper first to determine how it works for you.

The thickest paper I have ever used is the Velvet Fine Art Paper. I typically use the Radiant White Watercolor Paper. Both papers are made by Epson.

I used a glue stick, which worked okay. I did not feel like it was reliable though, so I usually put some tape on the edges as well. I would not use elmer's unless you have a way to spread it thinly, since it could make the paper wet and wrinkly.

No, it would not be too thick. In fact it would be ideal for such an application. The paper is thick enough and it is perfectly opaque so that the colors, etc. willnot bleed through. I use it to make greeting cards and it is MARVELOUS for that application as well.

Its not as thick as a regular cardstock but, for my opinion, stiff enough to use as the base of a card. Its much stiffer than copy or drawing paper. Hope this will help.

I used Bostitch crown staples and had no issues. I also used finish nails along the outside edges where I couldn't use the stapler and that worked fine as well. Good luck!!!

You don't. That stuff sticks good and if you have to take something apart you are going to have a lot of tearing. Maybe someone else has better luck than I do, if the paper is a bit slick you can put it apart pretty easy, but if it's matte finish, you are going to have a problem. If it is for a card which is what I use it for, you can maybe save one side, but the other side is going to be pretty torn up. I just figure I have to get a new piece of card stock. Sorry.

I would say a glue stick meant for that task would be better, since it's spreadable and restick-able. While this does dry clear, I think it would be difficult to apply to a photo evenly & set on paper to stick. You'd probably go through a lot of it too, and send up with it all over your hands! This is def best for a smaller fix-up job involving broken plastic pieces or something like that. Would not use for pic/paper craft projects.

It is the same strength as ordinary tissue paper, but I'm not a kite flyer. HOWEVER, please read the description very closely because I'm pretty sure (since I'm one of the purchasers of this tissue paper) this is the kind that "bleeds" colors, and any moisture will cause the color to bleed into other pieces of the project.. If you did not select the Bleeding tissue paper, I'm not sure. The paper will not stand up to glue, isn't strong enough for tape for any length of time, but may be good for kites. I've never made a kite.

I use it for a gloss on paper beads, and I guess you could glue something on it. It goes on thick and would probably make a good glue itself..

mine did not come with paper stuck with glue. mine has two plastic sheets, one is the protecter, one is the applicator. if you follow the directions on the little tabs, it's a very easy install.

It's beautiful paper but more toward the gold champagne instead if any silver look. We used for my daughters wedding invitations and got a lot of complements. People were shocked we made them ourselves. Very nice paper.

I found it to be thick, yes, very comparable to Wedding Paper Divas paper. I haven't used shutter fly in quite some time but I do think it was actually a bit thicker. It is very high quality, I was very impressed. It bends but stays stiff to a light touch. I wouldn't recommend printing photos on it because there is a lot of obstruction from the shimmer. I used it to make signs at my wedding "sign guest book," "drink special," and the likes of that and they looked beautiful!I hope that helped, I'm sorry I'm not more familiar with shutter fly paper.

I use Royal sublimation paper, I bought on Ebay. Although, you can use any sublimation paper.

No, you need to have a bonding agent. The paper is there for the glue thats naturally in it and holds everything together. You could in theory add a different type of glue or wax.

Not really, the paper is handmade-so it's thicker than usual paper...I was very happy with this product!
