Aleene's - Acid Free Tacky Glue

Acid Free Tacky Glue

Preserve memories permanently with archival-safe adhesive that stays tacky

Archival projects demand adhesives that won't yellow, bleed, or deteriorate over time. Aleene's addresses this with a tacky glue reformulated specifically for paper preservation work. The same thick, grab-on-contact consistency that made the original formula a craft room staple now comes without acids that compromise long-term stability, critical for scrapbooks, journals, and memory albums meant to last decades.

That immediate tack means you're not wrestling with sliding elements while waiting for adhesive to set. Photos, decorative papers, and embellishments stay exactly where you position them. The formula dries clear and flexible, maintaining strong bonds without creating stiff, brittle areas that crack or separate over time. This flexibility matters particularly with paper projects that get handled, pages that get turned, albums that travel to family gatherings.

The gold bottle distinguishes this acid-free version from standard craft adhesives at a glance, useful when you're juggling multiple projects with different archival requirements. Use it confidently for heritage photo mounting, wedding albums, baby books, and any paper craft where preservation matters as much as immediate results.
