: Wrinkly Is there any tips of how to stick bog standard paper onto card with PVA glue and not getting wrinkly paper at the end? Yes - don't use PVA? A bookbinder friend uses flour and water (and alum as preservative) boiled into a paste. Spread onto paper and allow it to soak thoroughly. Then stick it onto the card, carefully 'wiping' it with a cloth to avoid bubbles. As it dries any slight wrinkles simply get stretched out. There might be a similar technique with PVA but I don't know what it might be. -- Rod |

This mix (not usually boiled) was the standard wallpaper paste until the synthetic mixes came along in the 1950s. Cic. |

TIA Suzanne You should be asking your mummy or daddy or older brother or sister for help with complicated things like that.

We do this with crafts for Beaver Scouts save that we use wallpaper paste. The paper stretches a little when wet and shrinks as it dries making it nice and smooth. -- Tony Bryer SDA UK 'Software to build on' http://www.sda.co.uk Free SEDBUK boiler database browser http://www.sda.co.uk/qsedbuk.htm [Latest version QSEDBUK 1.10 released 4 April 2005] |
