We use and recommend Helmar Premium Craft Glue. It is very fast drying, gets tacky quickly and dries clear. It easily rolls into balls when you get it on your fingers or the lining of the lampshade. It is a tough adhesive with long lasting hold for your lampshade, tried and tested.
A 100ml bottle is enough to make at least two 20cm or 25cm or 30cm diameter lampshades.
Note: Our craft glue is a thick, fast drying glue. This means you need to keep the nozzle shut whenever not in use and after every gluing action so it won't dry out.
Avoid excessive squeezing by holding the bottle upside-down for a few seconds, waiting for the glue to reach the nib. Be patient!
Make sure you clean off excessive glue before it dries out. It rolls into little dry balls when you rub it with your fingers.
