hot dot adhesive - had to find some this year and it was an utter git. YOu can get it 'pre stuck' onto paper by some printers...but several i asked had no idea what I was on about.

I did manage to find some in the shops you can hand apply - comes as resubale and permanent. The re-usabale seem to be pretty much identical to that gummy stuff which they stick credit cards to paper with (assuming that's what you want) You need a craft specialist (hobbycraft will probably sell it) If not, I can go to the same shop and post you packets! depends on how much you need mind

Get hold of a stationery supplier and ask for Billy Blobs. Hot glue doesn't work cold - surprise surprise. Billies come in three strengths so you can decide what you need. If the stationery supplier doesn't know log onto www.printweek.co.uk and look for companies that supply printers/direct mail houses - they'll know straight away.

And, no, it's not a wind up........ They really are called Billy Blobs.

It's called hi tac, lo tac - sticky on one side, not so sticky the other - most adhesive suppliers will have it.
