When collaging a masterpiece what type of lung medium or glue do you recommend ? Elmers says non toxic and all the books on collage say to use acrylic gel medium. Any advise?

I really don’t know. Unfortunately, I am not a crafty person- I have little artistic ability…Good luck finding the least toxic, cleanest glue.

Hi Hasty Retreat,

A Lot of folks like to use "modge podge" glue for collage work, but I'm not sure if it has a strong smell that would affect your breathing. It says it's "water based and non toxic" and has a "mild odor."

Hi hastyRetreat. I agree with Kristen S. I like modge podge too. I have used it before and it smells similar to Elmer's school glue.
