    Sealing a Figure in a Bubble and Card Packaging

    Well, so far I had just used clamshells... You just place the figure, the card, close the clamshell and done! But what if I want to just seal a figure using a bubble and a card? What kind of glue should I use? Or tape instead? How do I align bubble with respect to card? Figure is in there so I want to make sure I don't ruin it with glue or anything... Someone may have put together a tutorial on this and I just can't find it. Can someone give me some advice or point me to a tutorial or method? Thank you Mego brothas!

    Hmmm. I think a lot of folks here use double-sided clear scrapbooking tape to adhere bubbles.

      I have carded over 90 Megos now and the best thing to use is Aleene's clear gel tacky glue. It can be found at any craft store and works amazing. Its in a clear bottle with a purple stripe at the top. If you give me your E mail me I can send you a picture of the glue. The glue dries invisible and is very easy to work with before it sets, and wipes up with just your finger if you goof up. Typical time to dry is about 6 hours.

        I use the double tape on the 2 packs
        i normally put the tape on all sides of the bubble
        i than line up the bubble straight with the outside on the card

        go slow - i know its only tape but if it tacks you may pull some of the art if you try re align it.

            The glue will not rip the card if you put the bubble on crooked and have to move it. The glue left behind from where you move the bubble wipes up with just your finger.

              i'm going to grab some of this and check it out.
              the fact it dries clear is awesome.
