Wendy Tellson Armistead on Nov 03, 2015HI Janet, This was very helpful..the only thing I didn't do was dilute the glue 50% with water before putting on the paper. I will try that and see if it gets rid of the rippling. Thanks so much for this!Helpful Reply

Z on Nov 03, 2015Wendy, I think your best bet is to use a spray adhesive. The less moisture the better when you are experiencing ripples in the paper.Helpful Reply

Fab and Pretty on Nov 13, 2015Hope the spry glue works. Little late here but we also have a scrapbook in tool called a "brayer" roller. It's a rubber roller. It's amazing how many projects it's been used on.Helpful Reply
