Sunsout Puzzle Preserver Glue

After reading several reviews I decided NOT to use the brush on the bottom side of the lid. Several stated bristles came off and were consequently stuck to the puzzle. Instead I used a disposable sponge which worked great. I put two quick coats on then used an old rewards card to smooth the excess off. I don’t think it dried tacky but I still want to add one more coat later today.I slid the puzzle off the mat I use (once I got the side over the mat edge it slid right off) onto my glass coffee table. Then I put the mat on top of the puzzle and smoothed all the pieces flat.Afterwards I cleaned the table with glass cleaner and a razor. Just wiping didn’t work as the glue just stuck somewhere else. But it was easy enough to clean up.I still have half a bottle left. This product is easy to use and does a great job.

I love this puzzle glue. It works great to keep the puzzle together. I have glued two small puzzles (maybe four inches tall)and one larger puzzle (15 inches) and still have some of the bottle left. Only did one coat on each puzzle. it does go on in a white color but will dry to a nice glossy clear color. I do agree that it does not dry very hard but it does not come apart and causes no problems. Only thing is I wish I could get this product in a bigger size!

First time I've preserved a puzzle. This worked well on a 750-piece puzzle (~24" x 18") and ~half of the bottle was used. It took about 30 minutes to apply (with a 3yo helper). The glue comes white, but after ~2h to dry (instructions says 1hr is OK), it came out clean and clear with a gloss finish.I usually expect glues to be thick, but this was not viscous at all. The brush was built into the cap and was very serviceable; maybe something with thicker bristles would work better because i found myself frequently dipping into the bottle to get more glue. I didn't have any issues with puzzle pieces curling, but just make sure you have some sort of mat underneath, as the glue will seep through and potentially mess up your kitchen table/countertop/etc. I laid the puzzle on top of some wax paper; after drying, the glue that did seep through was not an issue when carefully separating the puzzle from the wax paper.

This puzzle preserver is fantastic! Just sealed a puzzle and it took only one coat. Nice sheen to puzzle. Definitely recommend!

Used this on top of a puzzle I wanted to glue to a wood board. It worked great. The glue seeped through and really made the puzzle stick great. Not need to apply glue to the backside. Followed the directions and I have faith my puzzle will stay sturdy and adhered to the board.

This product works as advertised, and dries to a nice clear coat. The built-in applicator is very easy to use and it covered a very large jigsaw puzzle 33" x 23" and still have a 1/3 of the glue left over for a smaller puzzle.

It goes on clear and easily, and does a great job holding my puzzles together without lumps (I use a shower door squeegee to wipe off the excess). I must say though, watch out for the included brush top... I've had loose bristles adhere to the puzzle, so keep an eye out for that if you use the brush instead of a squeegee.) However, the glue product itself, is excellent!

I had been working on a 1000 piece puzzle of the Starry Night. I found this puzzle to be EXTREMELY challenging. So, I started looking into perserving my puzzle and decided to look into puzzle glue. But there are so many to choose from! Well, I decided to try this glue based on the reviews of the product.When I received this product, It was smaller than I was expecting. But they say a little goes a long way. So, I when I finally finished my challeging puzzle, I started for the glue. Moving the puzzle from my puzzle mat to the table was a challenge, but I finally got it. I added a bunch of paper underneath my puzzle to make sure the glue doesn't seep through the puzzle and onto my table. Now I was ready.Upon opening the container, the glue was a white milky color. The texture was very thin. I noticed a brush attached to the inside of the lid.Using the brush, I was able to coat my 1000 piece puzzle. The brush is not the best quality, but it did it's job. Make sure you keep an eye on air bubbles. I did notice that the brush was notorious for leaving bubbles everywhere. The glue does apply in white, but it will dry to clear.After finishing, I let my puzzle dry as the directions said; an hour. When I checked on my puzzle the first thing I noticed was how shinny the puzzle has become. I thought it looked nice, but when picking it up, the puzzle started falling apart. So, I put the puzzle down fast before a catastrophic event occured. I decided a second coat was needed. In the second coat was going well, but again, so darn air bubbles. This time I made sure that the creases got the attention they needed; making sure the creases got plenty of glue. You will see white in the creases. Thats normal. Another hour later, the puzzle was stiff, but very tacky. I decided to leave the puzzle alone for a day. I moved the puzzle to the closet where its nice and cool. When checking it, the puzzle pretty stiff with a little tacky feeling to it.Overall...after feel great reluctance towards using this glue....I was quite sastified. I still say the brush was my least favorite of the pruduct, but again it did it's job. It was pleasant working with the glue. First, the glue was not giving any harsh smell to it. The smell actually reminded me of Elmer's glue. Also, some glue did end up on my table, and I didn't see the glue make any damage. Peels right off. Oh! I forgot to mention. After using two coats, I still had half a bottle left for another puzzle.The advice I can give when working with this puzzle glue is working in an up and down motion; again,...keeping an eye on the air bubbles. I recommend on trying to have some light above you. You can see better where you've applied and where more is needed. And make sure to catch the creases. You will see it's enough when you see white in the creases. If you are able to pick up your puzzle at the end of the hour and it's hold it's place and stiff, you are done. Maybe catching the creases in the first coat, you won't need a second like I did.I hope this helps fellow puzzle users. Good luck. :)

The glue is strong and works really well for 500 and 1000 piece jigsaws. After drying it becomes completely transparent. If you are efficient, you can do about 3 jigsaws of 500 pcs each with one bottle.

This Item worked better than I expected, this is the glue to use for my jigsaw puzzles and your too, Perfection.

Easy to use
