Frequently Asked Questions

What is a spray adhesive?

A spray adhesive is a versatile, quick-drying glue sprayed from a canister, offering an even coat for bonding materials like paper, cardboard, fabric, and more, without the mess.

What are the disadvantages of spray adhesive?

While super handy, spray adhesive can be tricky in tight spaces, potentially overspray onto unwanted areas, and may not be the strongest bond for heavy-duty tasks.

How long will spray adhesive last?

When applied correctly, spray adhesive can hold strong for years, but it’s best used for temporary to medium-term applications, depending on the materials and environment.

What is a fixative spray good for?

Fixative spray is a clear coating used to protect delicate artworks, like pencil, pastel, and charcoal drawings, from smudging or fading over time.

When can you use spray fixative?

Spray fixative can be used once your artwork is complete, or in layers as you work, to protect existing details while adding new ones.

Is fixative spray waterproof?

Most fixative sprays are not waterproof but do offer protection against humidity. For waterproofing, look into specific sealants designed for that purpose.

How do you use gummed watercolour tape?

Gummed watercolour tape is activated with water and used to secure watercolour paper to a board, preventing it from buckling when wet.

Is water-activated tape the same as gummed tape?

Yes, water-activated tape is another name for gummed tape, which requires moisture to activate its adhesive properties.

What kind of tape do you use for watercolours?

Gummed or water-activated tape is ideal for watercolours, as it securely holds the paper in place and can be removed without damaging the artwork.
