I almost have 750pc puzzle done, I bought some puzzle glue from hobby lobby. How do I glue my puzzle? ^^
Well, I personally haven't glued a puzzle together, but from what my friends have told me you pour(???) the glue over your puzzle and use a cardboard scraper that's included the spread the glue over the puzzle..
Hope someone else knows a bit more than I do, haha.
It's pretty much like what stated. I don't know how your glue came packaged, where I buy it - it comes in a bottle with a wide paintbrush attached to the cap. I just open the bottle and brush the glue onto the entire puzzle.
If it didn't come with a brush or something similar, you can always pour the glue onto the puzzle and use a cloth to spread it. I've done that before, but to me using a paintbrush works much better because you can maneuver the glue into all the little cracks and crannies and not miss a spot.

I tried gluing a puzzle once but wasn't entirely pleased with the end result--just didn't seem particularly secure and was kind of brittle. So after that one I switched over to duct taping them instead and have been pretty pleased with that. :) The only tricky part with the duct tape is flipping over the puzzle so you can put the tape on the back, but as long as the pieces fit together reasonably tightly you should be able to carefully pick it up by the corners and flip it over, or if it's loose then sandwiching it between two pieces of cardboard and flipping it works well.
Oh no no no, you need to glue each piece together as you place them. You'll have to start again.
JK. The painting/scraping with glue would work - then maybe find something to use as backing and stick it to that.

Putting puzzles together and gluing them is hobby of mine.
Essentially the best thing for you to do is to construct the puzzle on piece of cardboard big enough to accommodate the size of the puzzle (length and width). Once you are finish constructing your puzzle, you apply the glue uniformly on the front side of the puzzle. I found that using a paintbrush does this well. Once the glue dries on the front side, gently flip it over (this part may be a bit difficult since the structure is still a bit flimsy) and apply the glue uniformly on the back side. Once you are finish wait for it to dry and flip it over again. If you have any spots you missed, take your glue and run it over those areas, then you should be done.
Thing to keep in mind is to be careful about the amount of glue you apply, if you apply to much you can either ruin the picture in the puzzle or actually ruin the puzzle itself. It takes time but you will catch on fairly quickly. Also keep in mind, once it is glue you can actually frame them. That is what I ended up doing with my own puzzles.
I have glued a puzzle together and it worked pretty well. The puzzle glue should come with a brush (if not I'm sure the cardboard or cloth would work). Just make sure you put enough glue on it and get it in all the cracks. I'm pretty sure you also need to have the glue covering the top. That should make it pretty stable. I had a puzzle hanging on my wall for quite a while until my cats knocked it down. ;)
I got it glue together, I use newspaper, it was too long for the cardboard, it 38.25inx11.29in over three feet wide, then takingthe news paper off the back, some newspaper will be there it stuck lol. And I run over and see if I miss any puzzle spot, and glue it ^^ My next question is how do I hang it on wall? I dont want to put a hole on it >.<
You can put it in a frame like a normal picture.. maybe. probably knows more.
You can also use contact to stick puzzles together, you know, the kind you put on books..
I just use a piece of cardboard and use super glue(That has the little bush) to glue it down.
For hanging on the puzzle on the wall, I ended up using mainly poster frames, since they had the necessary components for hanging the puzzle on the wall plus they are considerably cheaper to use than a standard frame. Although technically any type of frame will do so long as it fits the length and width of the puzzle. If you decide to use a poster frame to frame and hang the puzzle on the wall, do keep in mind that these types of frames are designed in predetermined sizes. So your puzzle may fit in the frame, but the frame itself might be to big.
