Best craft adhesive sheets & sprays according to redditors

A bit expensive for my taste, but then again if you're really mad you might just splurge on this outrageous prank prop and irresponsibly take away part of your carefully made budget.

I never knew I needed this until today. Amazon link for convenience:

Fake Outlet Stickers ($8.99 for 12 @ Amazon)

Yep.

If you want to be REALLY evil, buy these the next time you fly and put a few of them up around the airport.

Better yet, if you're flying with one or more other people, give each person a few of them and have a contest to see whose stickers (the ones that each person places) can trick the most people.

Scrape the black thingy off (or leave it on, I'm not your mother), put glass on top, secure with binder clips (or don't, again, not your mother).

Some people take it a step further and secure their glass with sticky heat transfer pads... I tried that, and they weren't sticky enough, and the glass moved this way and that. They also created hot zones.

So I got some of This from the local target and sprayed the aluminum down with it, and put the glass right on top of the bed. I've had really good performance with PLA, and somewhat decent performance with PETG.

They sell precut mini mirrors if you have a square shape, but I couldn't find any in the size I needed.

I bought these: https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B01BU99K6E/ref=yo_ii_img?ie=UTF8&psc=1

They work pretty well as long as you apply it perfectly flat. Otherwise you get sort of a fun house mirror effect.

https://www.amazon.com/Fake-Outlet-Stickers-Prank-Electrical/dp/B06XR4SD1V

Sure,

well theres three types of labels, printed cans( cant do anything with )

Wraps ( plastic that has a seam) you can cut these but you have to cut the seam and then snip the top and bottom ring area then it will flatten.

Adhesive labels. ( these work best)

I try to use the edge of an xacto knife or even a fingernail on a part of the label that i know ill maybe trim a hair off of anyway , so that it hides any crinkling.

there are a few companies that its just impossible to get the labels off of, some bottles like Founders, or cans like aslin, dont work well , usually bigger bottles work good though. Prairie works great. I recommend these magnet sheets,

https://www.amazon.com/Craftopia-Magnetic-Adhesive-Anything-Flexible/dp/B071L97W57/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1525196048&sr=8-3&keywords=magnet+sheets

and i use xacto knives and a craft mat like this one, https://www.amazon.com/Alvin-Professional-Self-Healing-Cutting-GBM1218/dp/B0015AOIYI/ref=sr_1_4?s=arts-crafts&ie=UTF8&qid=1525196109&sr=1-4&keywords=craft%2Bcutting%2Bmat&dpID=51gR%252BOrM3WL&preST=_SX300_QL70_&dpSrc=srch&th=1

so you dont cut through it to the table youre on etc, the key to making your cuts nice and clean is putting a good amount of pressure during your cut and cutting fairly slowly.

use a straight edge, use metal rulers, plan out the size of the label, peel it off the can or bottle and affix it adhesive side down on the adhesive side of the magnetic backing. then just square off your edges with cuts and bingo instant fridge magnet.


You can also do it with brewery stickers as well.

Take the glass out and use the sticker mirrors. You could also apply right over top if you want it done faster:

here ya go!

I made my own magnet using this and this.

https://www.amazon.com/Fake-Outlet-Stickers-Prank-Electrical/dp/B06XR4SD1V

Do you mean something like these? Because that seems like an awesome idea! https://www.amazon.com/Self-adhesive-Clear-Rubber-Feet-Bumpons/dp/B001JASGH4

You have some great tips too, thanks.

going DIY is the way to go. I've heard this from the pros as well. There just isn't the selection of dance specific shoes. The pair I bought most recently was from ALDO There called Aauwen-R Dark Grey, then I just went on amazon and got some stick on suede. The only problem I have found so far with this was that I stuck them on and it immediately slid like a 1/4 inch. Which isn't much but that's 1/4 without suede on the outside edge. I think I just should have walked around to let them dry. I immediately went down to dance at a dance event. So probably user error.

I haven't tried moleskin, but I love this stick on suede. It's not $2 but it's not $30 either if you have prime.

They're called Bumpons - Here is a pack of 100 for $7.75

like this

what cutter did you get?

for vinyl, definitely use the oracal 651 vinyl. here is a shitload of it for $30, less than $0.50 per sheet. If you buy it at a craft store it is about $2 per sheet: https://www.amazon.com/Ultimate-651-Starter-Adhesive-Assortment/dp/B01NADR97B/ref=sr_1_4?s=arts-crafts&ie=UTF8&qid=1506439801&sr=1-4&keywords=oracal+651

for transfer tape, I haven't found anything better than this. Shit just works. It is 4" brite line transfer tape: http://shop.vendio.com/cncsigns/item/911402157/index.html

you can also use the cricut or silhouette transfer rolls that they have, but honestly it sucks compared to the tape.

You can buy the case (and another one) from Amazon for $35.

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0168YNYNG/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

It doesn't have the symbol on the outside but it's basically the same. I then bought sticky felt to line the inside with so the cards didn't get damaged.

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07BGSWSGV/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

And then just some plastic dividers from one of those home stores.

https://www.amazon.com/Amy-Home-Adjustable-Thickening-Stationary/dp/B07CVJ953Q

So it doesn't have the printed logo or the wooden insert but you can make functionally the same thing for less than the shipping cost of that one.

It's a sticker.

Here is my solution to this problem - puma shoes with DIY suede stickers from amazon.

Hope this helps!

You can buy thin sheets of magnet and cut it to whatever size or shape you want. Now as far as affixing the photos I would try a few things and see what works best.

Edit: found an Amazon link if you like that sort of thing. I get bored at work some one should benefit.

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B071L97W57/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_RJ26Ab031R35N

It was actually quite simple. I bought this: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01BU99K6E/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

​

And then I made a triangle and taped it inside the machine bottom to allow for it to stay off the drip tray. I then cut another piece and laid it on top of the triangle. I will take some pictures and another video today. I was able to clean it up a bit and make it more clean by taking off an additional layer of the protective plastic. :)

​

Overall, very pleased with the results. Now if I could just hit the cup :)

Here's an easy fix I've used on my HHKB that solved all my problems with it slipping around:

apply these rubber feet on the bottoms of your HHKB. You might be able to find cheaper ones at a hardware store.

I have no knowledge of which of these are "the good stuff" but this will give you an idea of what i mean.

Wow, first year.

thistothat.com says 3M 77 would work best. This makes sense to me, because it's a spray adhesive that would leave a relatively thin layer on the back of the paper, and likely won't seep through to create visible spotting on the label's face.

I'd try to use a wax-coated pin to assist in centering the label when you go to stick it on. Or apply something like sno-seal to the spindle of an old turntable; just something to accurately center the label, with a coat of wax to prevent the disc and/or label from adhering to said locating pin.

I'm using these round ones I ordered on Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B001JASGH4/

Just added one on each nut that holds the plates together.

I like this, or they have adhesive ones.https://www.amazon.com/Flexible-Mirror-Sheets-Cuttable-Plastic/dp/B01BU99K6E/ref=pd_sim_201_3?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=7D9S28ZGY7YBZN1P0CPA

What I would do is lay out some newspapers, and tape a blue masking tape "handle" to one side of the face of the lenticular art, then spray some spray adhesive (something like this but they also sell stuff that's repositionable: Elmers Multi-Purpose Spray Adhesive, 4-Ounce, Clear https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00178ORYY/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_ChnjzbK50ENV3), then pick it up by the blue tape "handle" and carefully position it on the box.

Use a repositionable spray glue like this (in fact, read the top review). Since it's repositionable, you can peel and re-stick it without too much trouble.

Craftopia Magnetic Adhesive... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B076DFD3N5?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share

These are awesome.

Why not just save yourself time and energy and change the design. That's what they did to make it work. I would make the legs from 4x4 (which is really 3.5 x 3.5) and the horizontals pieces from 2 x 4 (again, realy 2.5 x 3.5) Everything will match up and it will look just fine. Or just use 2x for all of it. That's the best part about seeing a design you like. Just make it work for the tools and materials you have at your disposal.
Also, another suggestion would be to add rubber tabs or felt tabs to the top of the wood for the glass to rest on. Otherwise, that glass could easily slide around. I'd go with something like this to keep the glass protected from the wood and in place: http://www.amazon.com/Self-adhesive-Clear-Rubber-Feet-Bumpons/dp/B001JASGH4

worth the 9 bucks

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B06XR4SD1V/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_s-mACbEWVTS2Y

Mmm hmm.

https://www.amazon.com/Fake-Outlet-Stickers-Prank-Electrical/dp/B06XR4SD1V/

If you'd like to make TE-01's windows more opaque you could get some blue gel sheets. Just cut them to size and stick them to the inside of the windows.

https://www.amazon.com/Pack-Adhesive-Transparency-Plastic-Overlay/dp/B07MJCMQS8

They'll still be a bit transparent, just darker and more opaque.

Great idea. Will really help those riding behind you understand why your not moving over. Thank you for being considerate to others!!!

As an idea to help you see behind you. You might be able to get a small flexible plastic mirror that you can attach to the brim of your helmet. If oriented the correct way, you should be able to make out if someone is behind you. In a catch, it is very unlikely to cause a secondary issue. Something like this: https://www.amazon.ca/Flexible-Mirror-Sheets-Cuttable-Plastic/dp/B01BU99K6E

That's a good suggestion, thanks!
My bumper is probably not magnetic, but I'll put a couple on magnetic sheets so I can move them around my car just for the heck of it. Easy to remove so I can store it away if some jerk wants to steal them.


Here's one I'll get, which should be able to fit six bumper stickers. (non-affiliate link)

As silly as it is I’ve actually used this to get the sticky bra to stay on. I just spray it right onto the adhesive tabs. You just have to give it a minute to dry/stick to you before you do too many crazy movements, but after that it is NOT coming off lol. That being said it leaves a lot of residue on my skin afterwards and I have to clean it off with nail polish remover or adhesive remover. It’s my go to trick for needing a bra support without any of the straps/lines and has got me through, weddings, clubbing, etc.

Yes. You can also get them pre cut, but I prefer cutting myself for a better fit.

In order of my personal preference (though any would do the job):

3M Super 77

3M Spray Mount

3M General Purpose 45

Scotch Photo Mount

Elmer's E455

The first time I saw this was in a prank video 2-3 years ago. It wasn't in Houston though. Oh wow... this is getting serious

I put these rubber feet next to where the little plastic bumps on the bottom towards the back of the keyboard are: https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B001JASGH4/ref=mp_s_a_1_3?qid=1465585240&sr=8-3&pi=SX200_QL40&dpPl=1&dpID=21KThbUYKEL&ref=plSrch

Fixed it immediately. You can also put them over the screw holes, but I prefer to leave those open for easy access to the innards.

Thanks! It was fun to collect! I very carefully gave the web a generous coat of black spray paint. I covered a sheet of card stock paper with a thick coating of spray glue and pressed the page into the web from the back side. I very slowly pulled the page towards me, putting extra pressure in spots where the web didn't appear to be sticking to the paper. I let the web break itself, and viola! I do wish I'd have let it sit for a few minutes instead of putting it straight into the frame and I wish I'd given the top a coat of spray adhesive as well but I'm sure I'll get to practice again soon. Good luck in collecting your own super cool webs!

The blue paua shell I was able to get off amazon at this is the listing. It's on the pricey side, but the sheet I ordered has lasted a couple projects now, and I've been happy with the results every time!

Am I allowed to post that link?
Is that the right stuff?

No need I think I may have found it!

Thanks for the tip!! Your application of it looks great and it's something I'd definitely like to try!

These are the ones I use. They are PERFECT. Just barely clear the base so it dont rock. Got the link from a past reddit thread.

Hmm... this does look like the same backing material that is used on the replacement soles u/wanderedoff recommended on the post in r/shoemaking. Those soles do look to be suede.

The same company that sells the adhesive has whole suede sheets with the backing material already applied. This may be your best bet if you are looking to be able to cut to size instead of using the precut pieces.

I'm going to try making a custom skin from this peel-and-stick real suede (black).

I'll report back on how it goes!

I was thinking about using something like this (flexible mirror sheet). Super easy to work with, no sharp edges and you can roll it up into a tube if you wanted to.

I'm looking for adhesive silicone strips - basically continuous versions of these (https://www.amazon.com/Self-adhesive-Clear-Rubber-Feet-Bumpons/dp/B001JASGH4). Ideally corner orientated pieces too. 3~5mm width, anything wider would probaly look weird.

I need them as 'surround feet' for a box.

TIA for any pointers

There's a lot of ways to approach stenciling. I just started about 5 months ago and have a decent number of pieces completed, but i'm still learning each time I cut and paint.

I'll be happy to share a list of what I use, but just keep an open mind and remember that there's not just a single way to do this.

[] Materials []

• I use #11 blades [Link]
  
• I alternate between these two knives [[link]
  (https://www.amazon.com/X-ACTO-Designer-Hobby-Craft-X3254/dp/B002A2QTGK/ref=sr_1_22?ie=UTF8&qid=1501185899&sr=8-22&keywords=xacto+11+knife)] [link]
  
• Painters tape [Link]
  
• Spray Mount (Not spray adhesive - I just learned this last week) [link]
  
• 110lb cardstock paper
  
• Clear scotch tape
  
  
• As for paint I just started using Montana, which is a nice-to-have but definitely not necessary. I did a lot of my first pieces with Rusto - in general just stay away from gloss, super gloss, high gloss (it can work, but in general you will have an easier time with flat/mattes.) I went through a lot of trial and error with paint - I bought some Krylon paint which was at a higher price point and it was absolute shit (very watery and runny no matter how long I shook my cans.)
  
  
  [] General Tips []
  
  
• Making your stencils is definitely a part where people's methods differ (specifically in photoshop and breaking up your layers.) Just search YouTube and find a method that works with you.
  
  
• For larger pieces I use rasterbator. Stich them together with clear scotch tape and cut as usual. I tape both sides of the seams/edges.
  
  
• Take your time with your cuts
  
• Make sure your workspace is clean
  
• Let your layers dry
  
• Make sure your stencils are laying flat
  
• shake the shit outta your cans (especially with cheaper paint.) When you think you've shaken enough, shake for another 60 seconds.
  
• Mind the distance between your cans and the canvas (or whatever medium you're painting on)
  
• Take it easy on the paint, you don't need much to create a solid layer.
  
  
  Hope this is helpful, remember to share your pieces!

Consider giving this stuff a shot next time.

I use this stuff for many things. Not strong magnetism though. Depends on what you're after. For me weak magnetism is perfect.

I haven't! I did peek around on Amazon and it looks like there's some cheaper options there than in-store. Michael's looks like it's about $5 per sheet?

helps if you have a an xacto knife too

Craftopia Magnetic Adhesive... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B076DFD3N5?ref=yo_pop_ma_swf

These are what I use. Sticks to the wall great.

Awesome bag collection. I've been turning my bags into refrigerator magnets and covering the fridge. Looks pretty cool. Just get some of this: https://www.amazon.com/Craftopia-Magnetic-Adhesive-Anything-Flexible/dp/B071L97W57/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1520867044&sr=8-2&keywords=magnetic+sticky+sheets
and cut to whatever shape you want.

I used an aerosol glue I got at a hardware store. Amazon also has it:

https://www.amazon.com/Elmers-E452-Multi-Purpose-Adhesive-4-Ounce/dp/B00178ORYY/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1521941650&sr=8-1&keywords=elmers+multipurpose+spray+adhesive

I just use wax paper and repositionable adhesive like this.

I get these, but there are better ones! Namely anything with 3M on them.

Thanks. That's too bad, it would be pretty cool if you could do custom orders, or even if you could request specific game pallets. Though now that I think about it, I bet this wouldn't even be too difficult of a DIY product, if you can get large blank magnet sheets. This looks like it would work. Just need to figure out how to best color them, and how to reproduce the colors I want accurately.

Looks like a sticker someone would place at an airport.
