Video - How to Use (& Fix!) Stampin' SEAL

Are you struggling with the new Stampin’ SEAL applicators? I know I had a bit of a hard time with them at first but I have found some tips and tricks that have made it very easy to use. Today I have posted a video on my YouTube channel that shares some information about why Stampin’ SEAL is actually better than Snail Adhesive (gasp), how to use it with ease and even how to fix it if you get in a jam.

Below you can watch the video to see all of the details…

Stampin’
SEAL is an everyday adhesive that bonds instantly and neatly, like SNAIL
Stampin’
SEAL was designed to have improved strength over SNAIL
Stampin’
SEAL+ is a super-strength adhesive that bonds instantly and neatly, similar to
Fast Fuse. It is perfect for heavier layers or small 3D items.
Stampin’
SEAL+ is perforated for easy separation after laydown Stampin’ SEAL and
Stampin’ SEAL+
Case
can be used interchangeably for both Stampin’ SEAL and Stampin’ SEAL+
SEAL
is an acronym for “Simple Easy Adhesive Laydown”

Stampin’
SEAL or Stampin’ SEAL+ Troubleshooting

The
tip of the adhesive runner should be in a flat position against the paper;
avoid using it on an angle.
Once
the laydown of the adhesive is complete, stop and pull the adhesive straight
up. Avoid pulling the adhesive back to separate it from the paper.
If
the adhesive won’t advance and the trail breaks off, add slight pressure to get
it rolling again. You may need to use your finger to advance the adhesive. You
can also roll the tip along the adhesive you have already laid down to roll it
forward or roll against a Silicone Craft Sheet to get it started.
Stampin’
SEAL and Stampin’ SEAL+ create a strong adhesive bond. When using more fibrous
papers, paper tearing may occur. If the paper tears and rolls into the
adhesive, it will not ruin your adhesive roll. Stop and adjust your location
and angle before proceeding with a slow and lightly controlled stroke.
Similar
to what you may have experienced with SNAIL or Fast Fuse, it is possible for
Stampin’ SEAL and Stampin’ SEAL+ to roll back on itself or jam. This can happen
with any roller adhesive. If it occurs, we recommend stopping the adhesive
laydown and adjusting the roll manually before proceeding. Using slow and
controlled strokes is advised.
