do you know that funny glue that they use to stick labels onto things like plastic food containers, etc. that you can peel right off in one fell swoop?

can you buy that for personal use anywhere? or anything like it? i'm looking for a type of glue or other adhesive that will allow me to attach soemthing to something without a mess or a rip.

god, i'm always so vague....

Are you talking about rubber cement??
If so you can get them anywhere.

The fabulous link posted yesterday has the answer to that question! http://www.thistothat.com/faq.shtml Apparently it's a specialized glue that must be ordered. I think the best retail consumer substitute is rubber cement, as suggested.

This company is owned by friends of EdieCiaoBaby. I think she went to whatever the Toronto design school is called with a daughter there. They have great info on how to afix anything to anything.

edited to add:
that stuff is actually called snot glue. The things you pick up from production people.

snot glue? Heh. I believe it. We used to use a rubber cement square that was called a booger for picking up the boogery bits of excess rubber. You could actually go to a drafting supply store and ask for boogers.

I wish I could remember, I bought some adhesive that was called something like "Tacky" that is used for that -- I got it to stick my unmounted stamps to plastic backing when not in use (and to make them stick to the plexi-type mounting blocks when they ARE in use, duh). I'll try to remember to dig it up when I get home.

Sometimes it's also referred to as "repositionable adhesive".
