Match glue type to paper weight and desired permanence for clean results.
PVA glue is versatile and archival safe for paper and bookbinding; it dries clear and flexible. Glue sticks are convenient for light paper work and school projects but may not hold heavier materials. Double sided tape provides instant adhesion without drying time and is ideal for mounting photos. For mixed media, use acid free adhesives to prevent discoloration. Always test glue on a scrap and allow adequate drying under weight to prevent warping or bubbles.
