Getting letter stickers to stick

RE: Vawm: I use a bit of tacky glue on the back of each letter. You are not alone!

Lots of adhesives, especially glue sticks, don't really fit the 'permanent' bill. They stick for a while, then fall off. The stickers or peel and stick items really do need some adhesive reinforcement to last.

The best thing I have found to use is a bit of tacky glue made by Allene's as mentioned by Vawn. However, there is a particular type I like to use because you only need a small line of it to work and it gives you about 20 seconds to straighten out your item before it 'grabs' and 'sticks.' It's not easy to find, but its by Alene's also, and its a brand of there Tacky Glue, but its called 'Easy Flow.' I'm telling you not stickers are going to fall off when you secure it with this glue. And if your using the cardboard stickers called 'Thickers" this will work perfect. Here's a product link to it: https://www.amazon.com/Aleenes-Easy-Flow-Tacky-Glue/dp/B00178QQ16/ref=sr_1_fkmr0_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1516895482&sr=8-1-fkmr0&keywords=Alene%27s+Easy+Flow+Tacky+Glue

RE: Justowen: I, agree. I have to use another adhesive on stickers quite often. Depending on the size and material of the alphas, here are some things I use:

RE: Sewflake: I am finding that a number sticky backed items need to be "reinforced" with extra glue. Glue sticks work or liquid glue is what I like to use, any glue will do.

RE: Doreena: I use glue sticks. I find this being a problem more and more BTW... even with new stickers!

I finished a page and the letter stickers keep coming off. I put it in the album and the letters stay for a while, but when I flip through to put new pages in I eventually see these letters out of place and falling off the page. I love the way they look and don't want to replace them with something else. Ideas?
