- Check to see if your glue comes with a brush or sponge.
- The label on the glue should tell you the size of puzzle it will cover, so you can figure how much glue you will need.
2
Place the puzzle picture side up on a flat surface.
3
Protect the surface your puzzle is lying on by placing a piece of thin plastic or parchment paper underneath the puzzle. If you know before you begin piecing the puzzle together that you want to keep it by gluing, it would be a good idea to piece your puzzle on the plastic or parchment paper. Otherwise, you will need to carefully transfer it over. This will keep the puzzle from sticking to the table when you apply the glue.
4
Coat the surface of the puzzle with a thin coat of liquid puzzle glue. Apply the glue to every piece. Check to see that the glue is getting between the pieces.
5
Give the glue around 2 hours to dry. Check the label on the glue to be sure this is the amount of time it takes for your particular type of glue to dry.
6
Repeat with several thin layers of glue, allowing the glue time to dry between each coat.
7
Check to see that the puzzle is similar to a piece of cardboard when you are finished with the gluing and drying process.
