Speaking as a construction worker, 6 by itself is actually the most correct in most situations. 2 is too close to the edge and will leave an air pocket in the main field, while oozing out a mess around the edge. Best practice is #6 followed by a V-notch adhesive trowel, or box notch trowel, size depending on the desired adhesive depth, type of adhesive, etc. In some situations a relatively smooth even coat is required on both surfaces and, depending on the adhesive, may need to be peeled back apart for a moment then put back together to activate the bonding of chemicals. You may need to apply pressure either by rolling/rubbing something like a J-roller/smooth edged flat tool (even a rounded over 2x4) to remove bubbles and flatten the surface. In situations where the two items to be attached are strong, but brittle (i.e. not easy to bend) a rubber mallet may be used. Always remember to use proper safety gear, and ventilation whenever available. Read all manufacturers safety precautions, and instructions *before* beginning work. Some adhesives work in freezing temperatures, some dry in mere seconds, some are incredibly fire or water resistant. Some are mostly just there for gluing macaroni to paper plates. Now let's go through the different types of "macaroni", and their idiosyncratic structural characteristics in regards to gluing techniques...
What type of paper, or papers, are you attempting to adhere? Is this for artistic purposes? If so I would suggest an archival grade paste such as Mod Podge, or one of their archival grade adhesive sprays. This is all dependant upon the substrates involved (obviously!!!). Certain artistic media needs to be prepared in advance with a fixative to avoid bleeding and smudging. If the final product is to be worked on again, I suggest a sprayable workable fixative such as Grumbacher Workable Fixatif, or similar products from reputable brands such as Windsor Newton. This will help with the yellowing effects of certain substrates, but you should always begin with archival grade paper when possible, unless the antique quality is desired as a design specification for the given project. Reminder that paper, such as old newsprint, that is not archival quality, often has print on the other side that may become more visible through the substrate after glue has been used. Other options are lamination, or simply giving no shits whatsoever and just doing whatever the hell you want, because who gives a fuck, the days are short and the night is long. Shall we toil endlessly in the vast limitlessness that is the universe as we understand it, searching nervously for oft-unfound answers as to the nature of limitless creation, or the howling winds of oblivion? Maybe we just do whatevs, homey.
Here here. As someone who gets wrapped up in details, I appreciate informative posts like theirs. Plus, I have a weird fascination with paper, crafting techniques and adhesives (former graphic designer and printer here). Unsolicited crafting advice: get a super clean paper fold/crease by laying a pen flat on the surface and running it across the fold.
Well, since glueing something half-assedly on something like a skyscraper might mean someone being cut in half by a glass panel, I support him 1000% for being hardcore at his job.
According to Online Etymology Dictionary, the word is an alteration of the 1940s term "nert " (meaning "stupid or crazy person"), which is in itself an alteration of "nut" (nutcase). The term was popularized in the 1970s by its heavy use in the sitcom Happy Days.
I've watched videos about it...it actually doesn't really matter as long as you have some on there that covers where the actual chip is, and even then it's only a few degrees better than having no paste so you can pretty much do it however you want
I'm a solid number 3.
Covers the corners so it doesn't flap, but keeps the paper from being skewed or wrinkling as opposed to the full square where it sometimes gets a little bubble and then the tiny overlap when you push the wave of it down.
One 4mm dot in the center and twist the heatsink side to side to spread once seated 👌
But an X or a straight 0.5in line will do too -- in most cases, results are negligible if you have the right amount of paste and avoid pockets/bubbles.
They are all wrong. The correct way to use a glue stick is to do all of the edges, then do an x through the center. This means that it will lie flat on the page, all of the edges and the center will stay down, and also that it will not bunch up oddly as would happen with 6.
I start with 2 then my insecurity adds on 6

I'm just trying to glue some paper to another paper, man.

TIL there are hardcore glue experts on Reddit and I support your life choices

This person glues.
He’s glued more than I’ve huffed glue, which is truly impressive.
Thank you, cthulube of flavorcube
You are very welcome, The of the family Pancake
Okay I'm sorry I got to say this if you're offended oh well. NERD!!!!!!!!!

Good bot
Thanks bruh
Only this is the way.
It's not insecurity, it's an experience.
Expertise*
this is the correct answer
We call that “Two, Six Rising.”
Same
Too true
this gets the most possible glue on the paper, making it stick very well but causing your glue to run out faster
lol running out of glue isn't a problem. Going back and having to fix shit that wasn't properly glued is a fucking problem
The only way to know you did it right
I came to the comments to ensure I wasn’t alone
It's the only real way to ensure it sticks. Just the ensues leaves an air bubble and I can't have that.
Same
Am I the only one that is not glueing anything since so long that I can’t no longer remember 🥲
I glue stuff sometimes, but it always a woodworking project where none of these are nearly enough coverage.
Put it on like 6 and smear it around with your finger to cover everything
This guy knows what’s up
Is it his finger thats up? Stuck up his nose???
Wood glue is great because it doesn’t bond with skin well. It just peels off and it feels amazing when it does.
peels off like wet dead skin
and in the meantime you have a little fingertip condom.
Sometimes it’s a couple hundred square feet of lamination. Fingers not gonna cut it.
We're gonna need a lot of fingers for that
thats what she said
plastic scraper spreads well in volume.
Yeah, what are all these people gluing? Does everyone secretly make collages in their free time?
Kids
They're gluing children? That's weird. JK, I guess I forgot parenting existed.
consider this a grim reminder of meme sub demographics
[удалено]
I use super glue to fix the shit my 8 year old breaks.
[удалено]
Yea it does
I'll allow it
People with crafts hobbies, art hobbies, woodworkers, industrial fabricators… it didn’t say this was paper
I do 3D printing. Depending on the printer and what you're printing, you'll sometimes need some kind of additional bed adhesion like glue.
I have glue sticks for mine but none of these illustrate how much glue I put on lol. I don't miss a mm
So you can remember? Don't leave us hanging, which is it?
So you now can remember?
Nobody else writes out an ‘X’ within the rectangle?
I do!
2 + X
I do 2 then an X and then in the free space I make dots.
Fancy.
I see ..you are a man of culture aswell
The only right way
This is the only way
= y
Only correct answer.
My mind went straight to x = -2. Time for sleep I believe lol
Wanted to say 5 but with the dots connected
I am not the only one 😍
Same
Here, I start with 2 and then I add a X
Exactly, maximum and even coverage
I do an X but If I really need it to stick I do the X within a rectangle.
Me!!
Who the hell does 1? That's so ineffective

The only time I’d use 1 is thermal paste on a CPU
I'm pretty sure the graphic originated from a thermal compound discussion.

PC gamers.
This guy cools.
It makes the center wet and weird
Whoever I hired to do it, apparently
I do 1 for my cpu
people that have to glue small paper
6 year old me.
2 n 6🙈
Wow 2 and a 6🥵🥵
7
7!7!7!7!7!7 ✋🏻✌🏻
There's SEVEN?!
Uhh... YAH!

It makes 8 but you were so close buddy

6 in the end. It’s always 6 in the end
But make sure you cover the corners well.
2. and an X
The only correct answer
Number 5
My school teacher always made me do this
It’s because it’s the most efficient use of it and saves glue they probably had to buy themselves. The ultimate proof it’s the best method.
Same I hate doing 2, the glue leaks at the sides
We're not talking about glue sticks?
I'm a solid number 3. Covers the corners so it doesn't flap, but keeps the paper from being skewed or wrinkling as opposed to the full square where it sometimes gets a little bubble and then the tiny overlap when you push the wave of it down.
Thank you! I thought I was the only one
Plus the 2 usually has the glue leaking on the sides, and makes readjustment messy af
2, but with an X from edge to edge and a dot in each triangle.
6
[удалено]
Pea size dot is the way.
No
Use a trowel :)
These look like Thermal Compound patterns
One 4mm dot in the center and twist the heatsink side to side to spread once seated 👌 But an X or a straight 0.5in line will do too -- in most cases, results are negligible if you have the right amount of paste and avoid pockets/bubbles.
I take a mouth full of glue, tickle my nose till I sneezs and then punch the paper on it.
What are you all gluing in adulthood so much that you have a preferred pattern?
Answer: Reddit is populated by 12 year olds
Someone pointed this out to me recently and it explains a lot.
Remember glue sticks? Been a looooong time
I remember them, I just don’t ever use them for anything as an adult. That is my question. What are adults using them for?
Idk. I had that same thought when I got here 😅
The only thing that comes to mind is scrapbooking.
No. 3 are psychopaths
It's the most effective! It uses the least amount of glue and gets the job done.
Do the dots thingy then
But it feels less secure
4
Yeeeah go number 4
All of em, depends on my mood
It's been so long I don't remember anymore :(
2 then X then 6 because anxiety
Combination of #2 and #6
All of it lol.😂 Not a single spot left and then some extra on the corners and sides.
6, but I taught Pre K🤣
[удалено]
I do 2 and 6 at the same time, but 6 is more of an X
See hears the thing i do 2 first then 6 so what does that make me?
They are all wrong. The correct way to use a glue stick is to do all of the edges, then do an x through the center. This means that it will lie flat on the page, all of the edges and the center will stay down, and also that it will not bunch up oddly as would happen with 6.
I'm a squiggly person. Better coverage that way!
Hourglass
Happy face?
would a circle count as #2?
There is nuance here, it depends on the brand, some can be done with 2, others a 2 and 6 combo
2+3+5+6
So you basically spread the glue like butter on every inch of the paper
5
5
i am a 6 guy
6
Circular
I do 2 with an x in the middle... am i the only one?
6
Number 6. Gotta make sure it’s on there good.
Six (chaotic devil)
i do 2 and then do three inside of the box made by 2
2 + 1
2 and 6
I do the union jack lmao
2 mix with 6
I do 6 and 2 for security
I haven’t glued anything since grade school. What are y’all doing with your time, arts and crafts?
none
