Chris Wilson Posted September 7, 2009 Share Posted September 7, 2009 What's the stuff they glue CD's onto magazines with called, and where can you get it? Is it applied with a heat gun? It's clear and doesn't seem to bleed into the paper, plus it will "roll" off without damaging the paper. I have some collectors item posters I want to fix up on the workshop wall without pinning them, or leaving a greasy stain on the paper. Thanks.

Homer Posted September 7, 2009 Share Posted September 7, 2009 Had a bit of a google on this and it seems to be an often unanswered question! The best response I could find was: We only use two types of glue, Glue dots as mentioned before and Hot Melt glue. Glue dots are the peelable glue dots for manual operations. Hot Melt Glue is machine operated and is a stronger but slower process in our experience. We use a company called Viking Industrial as our suplier their number is 01535 610373.

Ewen Posted September 7, 2009 Share Posted September 7, 2009 Have you considered poster hangers Chris ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndrewOW Posted September 7, 2009 Share Posted September 7, 2009 Do you know, this the exact same stuff I'm after to 'temporarily' stick the Supra.net tax disc holder to the windscreen, as the original sticky pads are useless now. I was thinking this gum stuff would be a clean, clear solution to the problem of the damn thing falling off the screen every few miles! If it's easy to get hold of, I will certainly get some!

RiceRocket Posted September 7, 2009 Share Posted September 7, 2009 Homer got the answer, Glue Dots, you can get a pack of 175 for £3 in Staples for example. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Wilson Posted September 7, 2009 Author Share Posted September 7, 2009 I looked in my local W H Smiths and they had nothing like that, I even showed the manager a magazine on their selves with the stuff holding a DVD in Seems coomon to find in use, hard to purchase. Will Google poster hangars, thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think a line of gum would work better, ie. a complete circle to 'seal' the disc to the screen. How heavy is the item you're hoping to stick, Chris?

Not very heavy at all, but don't want them coming free and blowing and tearing. They aren't anything very special, just very rare to find any these days: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=120457465978&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RiceRocket Posted September 7, 2009 Share Posted September 7, 2009 THREAD HIJACK! Um Vicky I expect you'll reply with a certain smilie but are you wearing anything in your avatar pic? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caseys Posted September 7, 2009 Share Posted September 7, 2009 Aren't you worried about getting oil / dirt on the posters? Or humidity / changing conditions to weather the paper? Would look at hangers and clear plastic sheets to sandwich them between to preserve them if they're that classic Chris. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lexsum Posted September 7, 2009 Share Posted September 7, 2009 If it is to be preserved buy a frame for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
