If you've ever wondered why your diamonds stay perfectly in place on a canvas, the answer lies in one powerful component: adhesive. In the world of diamond painting, the type and quality of adhesive can significantly impact your creative journey. Whether you're just starting to explore the world of diamond painting or already love this creative hobby, understanding adhesive is key to getting the best results.

Types of Adhesive Used in Diamond Painting

There are primarily two types of adhesives used in diamond painting:

1. Double-sided adhesive sheets
This method involves a sticky sheet applied to the canvas. While common in some diamond painting kits, it's prone to air bubbles, creases, and loss of stickiness over time.

2. Poured glue (liquid adhesive)
This is considered the premium option, often found in premium diamond painting kits. It is poured onto the canvas and dries into a smooth, tacky layer. It has a clear appearance and excellent durability, making it ideal for full drill diamond painting projects.

Why FEELOOK Art Uses Poured Glue

At FEELOOK Art, we use poured glue for all our canvases—and here’s why:

• Smooth and bubble-free surface

• Long-lasting stickiness with no yellowing

• Perfect for full drill and round drill diamond painting

• Easier to work with, especially for beginners

This makes our kits not only more reliable but also more enjoyable for users of all levels.

How to Identify High-Quality Adhesive

Not all adhesives are created equal. Here’s what to look for:

• The canvas remains clear and doesn’t yellow with time

• Diamonds adhere firmly and don’t slide off

• The sticky layer feels clean, not messy or overly tacky

These characteristics are essential when choosing complete diamond painting kits for beginners or professionals.
