Aleene's 29-2 Tack-It Over & Over Liquid Glue 4oz, Clear

I send a LOT of greeting cards, and I finally decided to get a Cricut Joy Xtra and start making my own. But because I make so many, I was going through card mats like crazy and needed to find a way to make my card mats last longer. Many Cricut users recommended Aleene's 29-2 Tack-It Over & Over Liquid Glue to make mats sticky again, and after seeing it mentioned just about everywhere, I decided to give it a try. And I'm thrilled to say it works! Different crafters recommended different ways of using this glue to "re-sticky" Cricut mats, but I decided to go with the diluted glue method, since I use the blue "light grip" mats:1. First, clean your mat with soap and water, and make sure you get off any little fizzies or paper remnants. You can also use GooGone on it and/or a razor scraper if needed.2. Mix 1 part water and 1 part glue in a small cup. I used a plastic condiment cup and stirred it up well with a coffee stir stick. Since I was doing a Cricut Joy Xtra card mat (small surface area), I used only 1 tsp water & 1 tsp glue.3. Use blue painter's tape around the edges of the mat. Cover the areas that shouldn't be sticky.4. Using a foam paintbrush (I got a pack at the dollar store), brush an even layer of the glue mix on the should-be-sticky part of the mat.5. Set aside and let dry. Then repeat with one more coat of the glue mix and let dry again.This made my card mat just as sticky as it was when I first got it. If you're doing a green (standard grip), I would reduce the water or even skip mixing the glue with water and use something like a plastic scraper or card to evenly spread the glue.

Great for making your Cricut mats sticky again without repurchasing more mats. One thing I did notice over time with two of my mats already was it starts to crack the edges of the mat over time. Great for temporary use tho. Drys quick. Stickiness depends on the amount your using. Less for a light grip, more for a stronger grip. Looks like mod podge at first but dries clear.

This stuff is great. I bought a diamond dot design that wasn't sticky and put this on and was very tacky so the beads stuck. I would highly recommend this to anyone that crafts. I'm so glad I had bought this

Worked great to restick my Cricut mat. I am giving this a 4 star because even after leaving it to drive for a few days some of it peeled off when I removed the masking tape. I was able to reapply and get it perfect but it also shouldn’t have been able to easily peel off as it did

Used this to securely glue some woodwork together while giving the option of being able to take it apart without damaging it later if needed. It isn't as strong as wood glue but I didn't need strength here, just enough to hold some pieces in place.

Where has this been my entire life?!!! This holy grail in my crafting life has been the best thing to discover well forever. I primarily use it for making holographic tumblers. But its pretty great for resticking your cricut mat.

Used this to re-sticky my cricket mats. Worked like a charm! Great value, dries quickly, quality is great! tacky enough to make my mat reusable again!

I purchased to add sticky to a non sticky mat. Followed directions, it did add some sticky but I still have to use tape to make the paper to stay on the mat. Disappointing.
