Anticare Posted July 23, 2013 Share Posted July 23, 2013 Will it hold when it dries? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
havanaholly Posted July 23, 2013 Share Posted July 23, 2013 I've only seen Yes paste used for wallpapering; I get reasonable results with regular premixed wallpaper paste, so I don't use Yes paste. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WyckedWood Posted July 23, 2013 Share Posted July 23, 2013 Someone told me to use it for shingles and when I did they all fell off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anticare Posted July 23, 2013 Author Share Posted July 23, 2013 Someone told me to use it for shingles and when I did they all fell off.Well that sucks. I made two pieces of furniture already and have no idea how it's going to react. So far the wallpapers, fireplace and paintings I used the yes paste on is holding on strong... I even had to tug at a ceiling lamp to change the colour of one wall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KathieB Posted July 23, 2013 Share Posted July 23, 2013 By definition, paste is an adhesive for joining light materials, such as paper and wood. In dollhouse land, I don't believe Yes paste would work on much besides wallpaper.It certainly won't work to bind wood to wood in the actual build. For building the structure, use wood glue or a white glue, like Aileen's Tacky Glue or Elmer's. (But not Elmer's School Glue) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anticare Posted July 24, 2013 Author Share Posted July 24, 2013 Thanks for the suggestion. Ill test the strength tomorrow and if it comes off ill buy the suggested glue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
havanaholly Posted July 24, 2013 Share Posted July 24, 2013 Shop around; generally wood glue and regular Elmer's all-purpose white glue are cheaper in regular hardware stores than in craft stores. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tuppynme Posted July 24, 2013 Share Posted July 24, 2013 I have been using 'Weldbond" a Canadian product and "Titebond" an American product, find them both good and bought locally here in Aus. We now have a "Masters" store, just opened up and local, I felt like I was walking into your "Lowes" store, lol. Needless to say it is a great favourite when we go to town.

havanaholly Posted July 24, 2013 Share Posted July 24, 2013 Titebond and Probond are my great faves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roxxie2 Posted July 24, 2013 Share Posted July 24, 2013 I only use YES glue for wallpaper and even then I found it a little tricky to deal with. I have a lot of luck with good old Tacky Glue and for difficult things E6000, that stuff will hold anything! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
