Stampin’ Up! have two new runner tape adhesives. They are Stampin’ SEAL and Stampin’ SEAL+. Stampin’ SEAL everyday adhesive that bonds instantly and neatly. Stampin’ SEAL+ has a stronger bond which works well with 3D and heavier projects.
Stampin’ SEAL
• Stampin’ SEAL is less expensive and is designed for everyday use, like SNAIL.
• Stampin’ SEAL was designed to have improved strength over SNAIL.
Stampin’ SEAL+
• 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 adhesives.
• Includes 16.4 yds. (15 m) adhesive vs. 13.1 yds. (12 m) with SNAIL Adhesive
• No “checkmark” hand movement required for release of adhesive
• Re-sealable pouch packaging for storage and to protect it when stored in a bag or tote
• Refillable cartridges
Q: Will Stampin’ SEAL and Stampin’ SEAL+ roll back on itself and jam—as would sometimes occur with SNAIL Adhesive and Fast Fuse?
A: Any roller adhesive can exhibit this problem. When it occurs, we recommend stopping the adhesive laydown and adjusting the roll manually before proceeding. It is always helpful to use slow and controlled strokes during use.
Is SEAL an acronym?
A: Yes, it stands 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 lay-down 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.
• 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.
