I use this double sided tape too. I wait until the craft show in Glasgow and then buy lots of rolls. As Jan says it has a red backing. At the show in Glasgow last October I was getting 10 rolls for £5. Brilliant. In the craft shops it can be over £2 for one roll.

I only use wet glue when I want to stick to sides together. The wet glue allows you to move the sides till they match which dst doesn't let you do.

Sorry to here that your card is ruined. Can you salvage the boxes? I hope so and then you only have to print the inside and outside of the card.

Hope this helps.

Hi Claudette. I use the "Pinflair Glue Gel", especially for boxes. I also use a rather heavier card for the boxes, so that they keep their shape better and will stand up to handling in the Post. Often going to 300gsm. However, today, one has to remember the higher cost of postage, for the weight! I have found the Pinflair excellent and I buy it on eBay. Four tubes at a time to get it cheaper!
