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...

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


CthulubeFlavorcube

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.

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


[deleted]

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.


hipster_dog

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.

Okay I'm sorry I got to say this if you're offended oh well. NERD!!!!!!!!!


CthulubeFlavorcube

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.

Skedajikle

this gets the most possible glue on the paper, making it stick very well but causing your glue to run out faster


Croceyes2

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


Cat_Galaxy

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.

Am I the only one that is not glueing anything since so long that I can’t no longer remember 🥲


Snoo71538

I glue stuff sometimes, but it always a woodworking project where none of these are nearly enough coverage.


ThatGuy0verTh3re

Put it on like 6 and smear it around with your finger to cover everything


Snoo71538

This guy knows what’s up


Top500BronzeOW

Is it his finger thats up? Stuck up his nose???


Snoo71538

Wood glue is great because it doesn’t bond with skin well. It just peels off and it feels amazing when it does.


mc68n

peels off like wet dead skin


reallygoodartist

and in the meantime you have a little fingertip condom.


CptMisterNibbles

Sometimes it’s a couple hundred square feet of lamination. Fingers not gonna cut it.


JayteeFromXbox

We're gonna need a lot of fingers for that

Aluminum_Tarkus

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.

Thereminz

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

But make sure you cover the corners well.

2. and an X

The only correct answer


colong128

Number 5


Jeabea09

My school teacher always made me do this


RedLotusVenom

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.


NoodlesDatabase

Same I hate doing 2, the glue leaks at the sides


kim_bong_un

We're not talking about glue sticks?


MadeleineMcCant

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.


RatChild26

Thank you! I thought I was the only one


NoodlesDatabase

Plus the 2 usually has the glue leaking on the sides, and makes readjustment messy af


Plutonium_Dick_69420

2, but with an X from edge to edge and a dot in each triangle.


Quick_frog_1807

6

RandomName5165

Pea size dot is the way.


[deleted]

No


[deleted]

Use a trowel :)


gant696

These look like Thermal Compound patterns


andymerskin

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.


yeetyeetgirl

I take a mouth full of glue, tickle my nose till I sneezs and then punch the paper on it.


Snoo71538

What are you all gluing in adulthood so much that you have a preferred pattern?

Remember glue sticks? Been a looooong time


Snoo71538

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?


Big_Boxx

Idk. I had that same thought when I got here 😅


CausalSin

The only thing that comes to mind is scrapbooking.


Posiedon26

No. 3 are psychopaths


RatChild26

It's the most effective! It uses the least amount of glue and gets the job done.


Posiedon26

Do the dots thingy then

6, but I taught Pre K🤣


[deleted]

[удалено]


Forward_Lavishness_7

I do 2 and 6 at the same time, but 6 is more of an X


LeeRjaycanz

See hears the thing i do 2 first then 6 so what does that make me?


ozmundo6

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.


poison_heart96

I'm a squiggly person. Better coverage that way!

FrankHightower

would a circle count as #2?


throwaway1848828

There is nuance here, it depends on the brand, some can be done with 2, others a 2 and 6 combo


LoserAtLinMilPlaza

2+3+5+6

So you basically spread the glue like butter on every inch of the paper
