Preface

Since The Crafters Guide to Glues was written in 1995, crafting activities have grown in scope and interest. Glue and adhesive manufacturers have done an outstanding job in keeping pace with these activities.Without exception, crafters now have an adhesive product suited for every type of project they might consider.

Originally, this book was intended as a revision, but it quickly became apparent that a completely new book would be needed in order to adequately provide the necessary information.

This change in the original plan presented problems for Tammy. Prior commitments did not allow her the time necessary for research, testing, and writing the new book. She asked me to step in and pick up where she left off.At the time, neither of us realized just how much new information would have to be included.

As in the first edition, this book is intended to lead you through the decision-making process when selecting an adhesive for your projects.The choices include the standard favorites, specialty adhesives, and many new products.

Every attempt was made to provide you with current information.Technology is mushrooming, creating exciting new frontiers for crafting, as well as other areas in our lives.To keep abreast of those new products, read magazine ads, check craft store displays, and visit adhesive company websites on the Internet.

Happy crafting!

Nancy Ward
