Odif 404 Spray - Repositionable Craft Adhesive

I purchased a couple cans of the 404 spray because I find that the little plastic sticky pieces you buy to attach to rulers tend to catch on the fabric and also make the ruler uneven and wobbly. I sprayed the back of the ruler (make sure you have a piece of paper or fabric underneath it before you spray as there is a good probability of overspray). Let it dry for just 10 seconds. If you touch it and its tacky, place it on your fabric and cut. It works fantastically! It kind of sticks to your fabric and when youre done the trimming, you just peel the now perfectly trimmed block off.Theres no residue left on the fabric but the ruler stays tacky for quite a while. Its great because you can trim many blocks before you have to reapply the spray! It is best for small rulers/blocks.

Use it with either of the wonderful revolving cutting mats (like the Omnigrid 360∫ 14" Rotating Cutting Mat or Prym Love Cutting/Rotating Mat, 35cm) that Jefferson carries for excellent results. What an incredible invention! Ill be having it in stock and using it myself for a long time to come!"
