 What adhesive do you guys use on vellum so it will not show at all, but will adhere really well?
Thank you!

I use a product called Glue Dots Brand adhesive specifically for vellum . It comes in little sheets. It has tiny micro dots of glue which do not show thorugh. There are other products, too- I would just look for ones recommended for vellum.

 I use a tape that is made specifically for vellum.  However I have learned put it down on the cardstock first and not the vellum.  Otherwise it will show through.....

 I use a spray adhesive.  It gives me even coverage & doesn't show.

 I used an adhesive spray made in Australia and bought at Hobby Lobby.  The problem came when I went to use it again.  It had been several months since I last used it.  Now, it was evaporated.  I emailed the company in Australia.  The CEO emailed me back and explained "that the item number told him that the can was "old" and the life expectancy was only about seven years on aerosol cans.  (This is paraphrased)  So no wonder it did not spray anymore."  So, if you buy an aerosol can of vellum adhesive (wihich works quite well, I might add), make sure that the "Best if used by date" is a long way out.

 Scrapper' Spray by Creative Imaginations...it is the best of any I have found.  I've never had trouble with it evaporating and the can I have is several years old.  The nozzle gets a little clogged sometimes, but I just use a needle to clean it out.

wow glad this was posted...I was wondering the same thing. I will have to get some of those glue dots.

 I like the spray adhesive

 I use the tiniest glue dots- mine are in a little dispenser that rolls them out.  You CAN still see them, but they are very tiny and you can just barely see them.  You can use a sticker or other embellishment to cover the small spot if it bugs you.  Spray adhesives- I just have to say this about that- I bought some initially and h a t e d it!  It made such a freakin' mess.  I sprayed it over my trash can in the scrap room and then EVERYTHING was sticky- the trashcan, the bag inside it, my fingers etc.  Some suggested taking it outside to spray, guess I am a lazy scrapper- that was too much trouble.  I far prefer the glue dots!

 I use the Wacky Tac that is specifically for vellum.

 Xyron is good

[craftyfool]

 I have LOTS o' options!

1 - CM Clear photo splits (but on some vellum, I can still see 'em)
2 - Xyron works really well cuz it covers evenly and it's not messy.  But sometimes I get little "bubbles" which I can see.
3 - I have a "tape runner" by, I think 3M.  I can't find it in the store or online since I don't remember what it's called.  BUT it's purple and refillable.  It works really well for vellum.
4 - BRADS or EYELETS!!  No adhesive needed.

 Thank you, everyone, for your great suggestions.  I will play with several of them and see what works best for this particular project.
I've used brads and glue dots before.  I've never used spray adhesive.  Great advice, all.

Good to know!!!

 When I use the spray adhesive I put it on a paper plate (it's usually a small item) and just make sure I don't spray too far away (and get off it), or on 'junk paper' (aka, 12x12 white paper that comes in the albums that I have piles of).  Then I let it dry a little before I pick it up.
