2 WAY GLUE PEN: 2-Way Glue is versatile and provides a permanent or temporary bond ■ It's perfect for masking or working with stencils ■The chisel tip makes it easy to get just the right amount of glue for adding glitterLet the glue dry after you’ve applied it (it will become clear), and it will work just like a sticky note■I love using this when I apply glitter.

STICKY TAPE: ■ Double-sided, pressure-sensitive acrylic adhesive.■ Acid free■ 1/4" wide■ 10 yards■ Comes in a zippered plastic bag for convenient storage■Very strong adhesive I use on anything I really do not want to come apart!

I hope these explanations will help you decide on the right adhesive product for your project. I have used evrything above except for (2): the Tombow Multipurpose Adhesive & the Dotto. I know other demonstrators that swar by these two products and they use them and are happy with them and the result they acheive with them. For the others...I love using them and most of them I use on a daily basis!

HAPPY CREATING, KENDRA
