Collage and mixed media adhesive

A gel medium that glues paper, fabric, and photos without wrinkling or yellowing. Dries clear and flexible, letting you layer different materials in the same piece without warping.

What to look for

  1. 1Matte finish (gloss shows every bubble and fingerprint)
  2. 2Archival/acid-free formula that won't yellow over years
  3. 3Thick enough to fill gaps but spreadable with brush or palette knife
  4. 4Works as adhesive AND topcoat sealer

Skip

  • Standard craft glue that makes paper wrinkle as it dries
  • Spray adhesives for this purpose—too aggressive and permanent
  • Glossy-only mediums unless you specifically want that look

Used for: layering paper and found materials · adhering fabric to paper without stiffness · sealing finished collages · transferring printed images onto mixed media surfaces
