please help me adhere paper to chipbaord. most things i have read uses mod podge...how long does it take to dry?
i plan to alter an atc album....what is the best adhesive to use for altering chipboard in your opinion?
thanks!:confused:
Hm I use mod podge, usually put it on the chipboard and then place the paper on. It takes a little while to dry 5-10 minutes depending on how humid it is.

I use glue stick...I apply a thin coat to the paper as well as to the chipboard, then press in place, then I lay a piece of plain white computer paper over the top and burnish with my bone folder, then just set aside and let dry completely...when I do pieces like this...I usually do up quite a few items at one time, then let them all dry, then I can decide what to use in each project...they die cut wonderfully too...I also do use spray adhesive, but ventilated area is needed...and I dont always have time for that...
hugs, Debbie
Modge Podge does not take long to dry; say 20 minutes, but it just depends. Also, keep in mind that the Modge Podge might continue to be a bit sticky after it dries.
I use a tape adhesive and I really like the results. Then I trim any excess paper from the edges and then I sand the edges. I usually am working with shapes as opposed to letters (some letters can be tricky to trim and sand). HTH!
I use a product called "Perfect Paper" for all altering projects (clipboards, chipboard, whatevah) it is MUCH thinner than Mod Podge and you don't get any bubbles. Once it is dry, I sand the edges of the paper off the project, leaves a good clean edge. Love it! You can get it at M's, it is with the rest of the adhesives...cost about $8 for a bottle, before coupon of course!

I use Mono Multi to adhere cardstock to chipbard. It dries quick (10-15 seconds) and there is no way that you can take it off once it is dry so be sure that is where you want it cause it's there forever!
