Would you glue or tape it?

Why tape it when you can glue it. Choose colorless, acid free and archival glues for your collage and art pieces.

Scotch tape is good for wrapping gifts. Masking tape adheres the edges of watercolor paper to a board when painting to keep it flat. Double sided, lined with aluminum, PH neutral and other specialty tapes are commonly used in custom archival picture framing. Then there is duct tape to make wallets from. Packing tape for packing. Electrical tape for winding around hula hoops. Hockey tape works good for that to. Gives more grip. The hula hoop is less likely to slip down around your ankles thus hitting the ground.

THUMP!
