Hi Folks
What is the best type of glue to put on a homemade sticker to enable it to adhere to a formica surface but yet be easy to remove if needed without leaving a glue mark or at least if it did could be washed off etc.
Was thinking of putting one on my steel .Thanks for looking.

there's some stuff called Easy Tack, it's spray adhesive for mounting photos, etc., it's removable, repositionable. I've used it on plain 20# bond paper and it doesn't curl or bleed through.

My wife, in some of her crafts, uses double sided removable tape. It is thin like regular Scotch tape. It holds til you want to remove it and no residue.

If you do not want it stuck for years. There is the glue used on POST IT NOTES in a stick, Like Chap Stick. I used it a lot in my job to attach things I wanted to stick and easy to remove and clean surface.

Double sided Scotch tape works great. Cleans off easy with Goo Gone.

I use this too, the Scotch product number is "667" and it's in a yellow dispenser. It's pretty much the stuff on the back of a Post-It note.

Hi Guys,
Many thanks for your info on glue suitability.It will help me a lot.Looks like water based might be the way forward and repositional glue a close second.Regards Dave.

If it's not a permeable paper I use rubber cement. I find it causes less curling.

I had a couple of emblems made for me by a trophy shop. They have self sticking adhesive on them. Trophy shop said to use a hair dryer to heat it a little and pull it off. It worked great and on a lacquered finish guitar.
