First and Foremost, ScrapFusion^TM is archival.
It is pH neutral (acid free)
It is permanent. It does not let go of what it is holding on to.

It dries crystal clear
It is non-hardening. It stays flexible, never becoming brittle. Embellishments won't pop off the page as they do when a page is flexed with a brittle glue.
ScrapFusion^TM will hold onto just about anything that you want to attach to your cellulose paper or paperboard, such as chipboard, book board, or cardboard. We haven't found anything that it doesn't work on!

It is only meant to glue things to paper. Of the two surfaces you are gluing together, one of the surfaces must be absorbent cellulose. It won't work to glue beads to acetate. It won't work to glue fabric to fabric. It won't work with heavily coated or laminated paper, which acts more like plastic.

It does not cause paper to warp and wrinkle. If gluing large pieces of paper together, hold them flat underneath a flat heavy object (a large book comes to mind) while the glue dries.
It is great for binding books.
It is color safe. (This means that it won't cause color fast inks to fade or change hue. Some inks are going to fade or change color, no matter what, because they are made from unstable color dyes.
ScrapFusion ^TM won't cause color bleeding on objects which are resistant to bleeding with water. If water will cause the color to bleed, ScrapFusion^TM will also, because it is water-based.
It is not meant for vellum. It makes the vellum more transparent where it touches, and you don't want that.

It is available in 2 fl. oz. bottles or a 16 fl. oz. refill.
The 2 fl. oz. size is available with 3 different tops for all of your scrapping needs.
All of the 2 fl. oz. size bottles are refillable.

With a spout top, for normal sized applications to embellishments.
With a dauber top, (a built in sponge top) for applications about a 1/2 inch wide. With this top it applies a lot like a glue stick.
With a needle top for ultra precision application, for those tiny embellishments or die-cuts. The needle is blunt. Have no fear of accidentally "sticking" yourself.

Tips for using ScrapFusion^TM.

Have a damp rag handy. Use it to dab up any glue which gets where it doesn't belong, especially off your fingers.
Don't use too much glue. Don't have the glue gooshed out beyond your embellishment.
Don't use too little glue
If using the spout top bottle, use a bristle or foam brush to spread the glue evenly over large areas.
If not certain of the color fastness of your paper or embellishment, trial the glue before using it in your album.
Clean up your brushes before the glue dries with warm water.
If you forget to cover your dauber top bottle, clean the sponge with warm water and some gentle scrubbing with your fingernail. It will work again.
Use a straight pin to prevent the glue from drying in the tip of the needle top bottle.
