a note to collagers

I opened an old collage book this morning and made an unfortunate discovery. For many old collages I had used Scotch brand double-sided tape. You can find it inexpensively at your local city drugstore and it is a great product. But apparently it is not safe to use on old magazine and paper clippings as it bleeds through pretty badly. I was bummed to find a few pieces I liked all marred up, with nothing I can do about it. So, you collage artists out there, a note, be sure to use a good quality spray adhesive and don't risk ruining your creations with a cheap alternative. Happy creating.
