Crafter's Pick The Ultimate glue

This glue seems to work pretty good. Non-toxic water based glue that dries clear. I used some of the hard plastic from a package of batteries to test it out. It says it can be used as a non-toxic water based contact cement for impermeable materials. There is a list of materials on the container that it claims it will adhere: plastics, metals, ceramics, vinyls, glass, painted & varnished surfaces, wood, fabrics, leather, paper, & more.
Crafter's Pick Craft Glues, The Ultimate Glue


Tests:
Put some on the plastic then pressed some card stock on without letting the glue dry. Holds good.

Put some on the plastic and let it dry clear then pressed some card stock on. Holds good.

Put some on the plastic and cardstock and let it dry clear then pressed some card stock on. Holds good.

Put some on two pieces of plastic and let it dry clear then pressed the plastic pieces together. Holds good.

Tested Aleene's also to see if there was a difference. The Aleene's did not hold.

I also glued some paper to a metal rod and glued two pieces of aluminum foil together. It held good in both cases.

This looks like it would be good to adhere clear plastic pieces to card stock.

The Ultimate glue has a wide price range on amazon ($2.61 - $21.99).

In all cases, the shipping is expensive, several or more dollars.

Some craft stores are selling The Ultimate glue on line and may have it in stock at your local store.

Just grabbed a bottle of The Ultimate myself. It's $5.99 at my Hobby Lobby. They've got some Maxtacky Adhesive that looks interesting. Got myself a pin vise too. He he he.

Did a stress test by gluing a clear plastic strip to some card and attaching a 100 gram weight to it. 12 grams for the clip.

The glue held without any problem.

I used mine to glue a decorative brick back together as a test. It works! Just tried it on some card too. Wow. Super strong.

Got my bottle at Michael's and I'm impressed how well this glue performs!
I run some tests on glossy paper up until now only CA glue could grab, but the Crafter's Pick The Ultimate! works as weel, but it's much easier (AND SAFER!) to use.
Great find!
