Just noticed this was a piece of art I created some years back. Thanks for posting. @artistdom1971

Best part of video: Did stuff with grandpa. 🥰

So ironic... searched for an easy, inexpensive way to glue / frame a puzzle, and I found your video. Then I looked at the puzzle, and it is the exact puzzle I am trying to frame!! It's called, "Old Woodland Canal." Cool! Good video, thank you for sharing!

If you put the puzzle down in one corner of the backing board so two sides of the puzzle are lined up exactly even with two sides of the backing, you'll have to trim only two sides instead of four.

Great video, and super cool that you and your grandpa spend time together like that

Great tutorial. That's sweet you and your grandfather did this together. :-) :-) :-)

Just watched this in 2024 and found it useful. Thanks.

Love how you and your grandfather made this video it so sweet. ❤

I love the fact that you included your grandfather in the video. Speaking from an informative view point, you could have just showed us how to do this by yourself and saved some time by not having to worry about collaboration. Instead, having your grandfather in the video lets us, as the viewers, feel like we are also a part of the hobby process that you (as it seems) enjoy with your grandfather. This is much more of a comfortable setting than had it been just yourself giving an auditory presentation. I bring this up because I found myself not caring whenever you stuttered or an unplanned pause was created. Don't get me wrong, I don't come to KZfaq for constant High quality performance. I just want you to know that I still would've enjoyed the video, had I clicked on this video not in need of puzzle preserving advice. I also came out of it with a reminder that good intent can overshadow any kind super clean presentation practice(Also, I'll probs' save on glue prices. Pretty sweet.). You seemed appropriately practiced and organized. The idea of sharing a hobby you and a loved one enjoy warmed my heart. I can't say I regret clicking on your video in the slightest and hope you and your grandfather a good puzzle building future. I got a puzzle to glue.

The grandfather saying "hi" 💖

Your video reminded me of many happy hours that my dad and I spent with each other, putting puzzles together.

My first puzzle ever, just finished it 500 pieces I know it's problably baby one for most but I really enjoyed doing it. Thank you for sharing how to keep it together.

Awesome! My son and I just did a puzzle and glued it just as you recommended and it turned out perfect. Thank you so much!

Aww what a sweet relationship you have with your grandpa. How I wish I get to experience that to any of my family members

I do the same - we make lots of puzzles, buy I dilute the glue slightly and then, since the puzzle is protected, I coat it with a Clear urethane finish - then frame it - they look great

Awesome job, guys! We just finished a big one and were hoping to take it w/us after spring break vacation. Tyvm for the easy tutorial.

Loved watching this; seemed like comedians. Great advice. Thanks.

Loved it ! - thank you for making this so easy to do !!

Try 1:1 PVA/Water mix and pour over the top of puzzle which has been placed over the backing piece (I use foam board). Brush into puzzle and wipe away excess glue from the surface using lint free rag. For a 1000 piece 50x70cm puzzle I find a 100ml mixture just right. In a single step you'll glue the pieces together and also to the backing board.

This is unbelievable. I work at the puzzle company that makes this puzzle. AND I personally designed this puzzle from the artwork acquired from the other gentleman !!!! Small world 😃

Yes we used school glue for our class puzzles which we drew lines and shapes with a ruler and then cut them out with scissors and then pasted them all over with school glue. They looked really nice and we sold them at our school gala.

Including your Grandfather in your videos is very heartwarming to see.🙂💞

THANKS SO MUCH, for your very simple, informative videos, gentlemen ,on preserving puzzles😉😃

Thanks so much I always wondered why we had to buy special puzzle glue and not just go to any store and buy cheap school glue.

Very cool video! ❤️ Gave me an idea to preserve one of my puzzles.

Thank you so much for this great tip!

Thanks for this! Very helpful!

Anyone else here because of quarantine?

great video very helpful

Great video....thanks guys! Going to preserve a puzzle for the first time....it's the periodic table. Hope to frame it and put it in our boys room.

very wholesome, thank you

~☆tysm for sharing this. i was so discouraged when i realized i don't have any "mod podge" or "puzzle glue". i do, however, have tons of elmers school glue. SO IT LOOKS LIKE I WILL GET TO PRESERVE MY PUZZLE TODAY~♡

Thanks! Simple & easy. What type of backing board did you use?

when i finish a puzzle i flip it over and use clear packing tape to tape the intire back so that peices wont come apart or fall off. then i will either frame it or glue it onto a thicker peice of craft board.

Nice puzzle, where did you get it - the 1st one with the houses. Nice job! 👍🏾

Thanks guys im doin a puzzle with my daughter shes 8 and wanted hang it up its her first 1000 piece puzzle

Im doing this today, my mom said we use to use elmers glue as a child. I just didn't see how white glue wouldn't make a fog on your puzzle. I see now it doesn't thanks for sharing! 👍

Nice, elbow in the way of the proces, EXCELLENT...

looks great. I wish I had put down a backing board first

I came across your video and my husband and I thought of the same idea you did, but I have a question after time did the bored get kinda wavey like? If so how can you keep it flat

you will find that if you use more glue than the amount used, the puzzle will glue itself. Place the puzzle face side up on wax paper. Use a thicker coat of glue. The glue will seep through the cuts and stick to the wax paper. spread carefully. it comes out clear with no streaks. Waa laa. Done

Wow! I wish I knew this a long time ago! Thanks so much for showing me this. 😊

Did you get the poster board? Where do I find it? Cuz I'm doing want to.

Great video! I start doing puzzles too cause of quarantine

Good Job ;)

Thank you 👍

You guys just saved me $

Thank You 👍🏿

Using an old credit card or i.d. (any flat edge item) to trial the glue would be easier & better for showing the glue in my opinion as a carpenter lol but yes, other than that. This is great 👌

Can you, Please, offer suggestions on creative ways to use finished puzzles, other than framing, its becoming too costly for me. :-(

My wife found out flip puzzle over using two flat cardboard same size is puzzle or find a box cut to shape .then use clear packaging tape on back side this will hold puzzle together. Then on front side use clear Elmers glue let dry and done..cheap easy

Elmer's glue now has 'clear' school glue. I wondered if Elmer's glue was a wise choice. If a person wanted to trim off the white edges just start the puzzle in the corner of the board. Will only have two edges to trim. Thanks for confirmation of glue choice.

What would y'all put that in the frame

Wouldn't clear glue work better? So it's more clear? Or is clear glue not strong enough? My son and I are half way done with a 1500 Piece puzzle and we didn't put it on a backing piece like you did. So it might be harder for us to move!

Hey bud thanks for such a clear and useful video. Quick question, would this process work using clear drying PVA glue?

How do you get to post board from

I keep trying to convince my daughter to use Elmer’s, because it is so much less expensive!

You won't have brush strokes if you use a plastic putty knife

Has anyone tried spray glue on puzzles also clear adhesive roll, like for shelf liner on the back?

I just flip it upside down and use strong duct tape then you can do whatever. Used it on 1,000+ and large kid friendly 50ish piece puzzles. Has not failed and no messy glue.

Do you put that in a frame or do it frameless or what? What's next?

Can you hang that up on the wall like that or no

What kind of glue is that is it clear

I’m afraid of this method even though you made it look so easy. What is the advantage of using all the glue over just using a sticky sheet on the reverse side of the puzzle to hold it together? Thank you in advance for your reply!

I just tape it on the back and in the frame it goes, never had any problems

Wont applying glue on top fog the puzzle??

Would water + glue work?

So listen Whynabile...Let me first start by saying the puzzles are beautiful. I have nothing but respect for the time U2 have spent bonding and creating memories. However, we still have some unfinished business! I need answers on the green bottle issue. Please refer to my prior comments and respond when you have a moment. I’ve been waiting quite some time.

Where do I find one at the poster board let me know what size is it I'm having a hard time looking for one let me know I'm on here all day everyday

Why not just set the puzzle in the corner and just make 2 cuts?

Season's Greetings Whynabile! It's time for the annual check in to see how you are doing and if you've had a chance to reflect upon my comments as well as another concerned subscriber, Min 6? We're not so much angry anymore as we are glad to see you've persevered through the pandemic. However, this does little to satisfy our ongoing concern about your usage of the green glue bottle at the 2:43 mark on the above video. Although your video helped catapult our puzzle gluing career it also gave us pause as we admittedly have concerns about your integrity. Can you let us know why you seemed so adamatantly opposed to the green glue bottle, yet still decided to sneak it in? We noticed and I'm sure others share the same sentiment. We want to close this chapter but we'll need your help with this. Awaiting your comments. Many blessings friend!

Use a foam board next time so it doesnt get too wavy.

Can you use regular Modge Podge on puzzles?

Wow the comments here are so much more wholesome than in "Swiss Army Knife trick 2"

That thing is gonna curve when the glue drys

I did it 2 puzzles!!!!!! Doesn't glue put a white film over the puzzle making the colors dull? SO DAD

I've done this before i don't like the result it gives it a dull streaky finish I just flip them and tape the back it is weak as well but it does hold the puzzle together for framing etc

Doesn't glue put a white film over the puzzle making the colors dull?

collective mind

There won't be any white marks from dried glue left????

Then pore Art Resion over it .

How do you keep it from curling

Looked already glued

I have a 3D puzzle I'd like to mount for my grandson, the face of it is not smooth like a regular puzzle, it's, I guess u would say it's holographic. I'm afraid I'll ruin the puzzle if I glue the front, can I just glue the back side?? Anyone?? If anybody can answer this for me, I'd appreciate it immensely, thanks.

Can the puzzles then be hung after doing this?

How did it ruin the puzzle? You say that it is the same thing as the elmers that you used just watered down!!!!!

wait, did you call mod podge overpriced? I bought a 2 oz. bottle from dollar tree, you gotta be kidding me...

Great vid, but got a bit confused at the 2:43 mark in which my 11-year-old daughter noticed you reverted back to the very (green bottle) glue that you completely demonized at the onset of the tutorial. Smh!

1:33 Rinse your paint in a little piece of water... Umm okay lol

GOOD VIDEO... but not sure you can use "any" glue . just try "super glue3 " glue with , i do'nt think your puzzle will resist . but il helped me a lot . you have to think a lot before "take a market and trace onto..." just genious, dude!!!

Nex time, have the camera IN FRONT of the puzzle. All we could see was your Grandpa's back & elbow!!!

mod podge works better and is stronger

Too slow

Please, SPEAK UP. I can hardly hear you in this video. Nevertheless, Thanks for the tip on preserving Puzzles.

Ha ha ha ... cheap, cheap ... have you heard about epoxy resin?
