RoseArt Jigsaw Puzzle Glue with Applicator - Saves, Laminates and Preserves Finished Jigsaw Puzzles - Easy to Apply, Dries Quick, Clear & Bright

I cannot rave enough about this glue... who knew one could be so excited about GLUE! I used this for 4 different wooden puzzles (the ones with the wonky different shaped pieces). They came out fantastic. I have never glued a puzzle before and this was extremely easy. Once dried, the colors of the puzzle just popped, and became much more vibrant than I thought they could be. Again, I have not done this before, and did not expect a brighter puzzle.Some tips for gluing a wooden puzzle:-I laid out Gladd press and seal down on my counter and taped that with clear packing tape so the edges did not come up.-Then slid the puzzle on to the counter, and since these are so finicky, did some quick reassembly.-I took a few strips of cardboard, and taped those down on 3 sides of the puzzle, this was to shore it up and keep the pieces as snug as possible.-Then pour on the glue. These puzzles pieces do not lock tight; so when spreading out the glue, be sure to lay the tool provided at an angle as your spreading it out, almost to the point where the side of your hand is touching the puzzle. This will keep the pieces from lifting up and causing any issues.- I glued only the front of the puzzle, not the back.-Once 100% dry, it cannot be tacky at all, not even a little bit. If you're wondering to yourself, "self, is this still tacky, its hard to tell". Then that means it is and leave it alone for a few more hours. I dried mine for about 12-ish hours.- With the wooden puzzle, the tended to warp a bit as they dry (do not fear, this is easily fixed). This was not an issue at all. I flipped them face down and placed some heavy bowls on top for another few hours. I even used a blow dryer on the back, to warm it up a bit, then placed heavy books to flatten it out.- once every thing was dry and as flat as possible, I used hot glue on the back, put them on black poster board, and framed them.Pros: Easy to work with, washable, super easy clean up, spreads evenly with the tool provided, turns even the most colorful puzzle brighter and added depth. (I know... sounds crazy but it did)Cons: I really have zero! As I said, this was the first time I have used puzzle glue and will never use another brand after this.

Our kids have these puzzles from the space center in Houston, TX. I wanted to seal them so they could save and display them. I was unsure upon application, but once I came back to see how the glue dried down I was very happy. It’s nice and clear, not sticky, easy to use, and didn’t make everything soggy. The puzzle is nice and bright and the colors show clearly. The glue dried down fast for the amount I applied. I highly recommend this product if you enjoy saving your finished puzzles.

I used this to seal a 1000-piece puzzle I actually liked enough to frame (rare), and it worked exactly the way I needed it to. The glue goes on white but dries clear, and the finish is just glossy enough to make the colors pop without looking tacky or plasticky.The built-in applicator is surprisingly decent—it’s basically a sponge tip that spreads the glue evenly without streaking or soaking the pieces. I wasn’t expecting much from a pool of glue, but honestly? It delivered and was super easy to apply and left the puzzle strong and in one piece.One bottle was enough for three 1000-piece puzzles, edge to edge, with a little leftover... not bad for five bucks! Also: no weird smell, no warping, no regret.If you’re the kind of person on a puzzle bender and wants to seal your trophy at the end, this glue gets it done and ready FAST for a frame or your puzzle portfolio binder (which I also highly recommend looking into if you're a puzzle fiend!!)

Ordered this for a puzzle my daughter wanted to save. It worked great holding everything together. It did make the puzzle bow a little bit with the first coat though. She did end up using the entire bottle though. But she was able to get the front and back glued. The little tool was very helpful in getting all the creases. I would buy this again for the next puzzle project. Even at a bottle a puzzle can't really beat the price. It did dry nice and clear

Worked great. Felt inclined to counter some of the 1-star reviews. It seems those buyers just got a defective bottle. Not an overall issue of the product itself. When working as intended, perfect product. One jar covered my 19" x 27" puzzle. First puzzle gluing as well. If I do it again, I will buy this item.

Good value, easy to use, was enough to go over the back of a 1000 peice puzzle 1x and then fill in some cracks a 2nd time.

Product works really well

Very good puzzle glue!Used after completing a 3000 piece puzzle and it needed up exactly how I wanted to be able to frame into a picture.Will buy again for my next puzzle!
