FAQs

Strong craft glues, glue dots, or robust double-sided tape are recommended for securely adhering chipboard to project surfaces.
Are these elements acid-free?
While specific acid-free certifications are not always listed, My Mind's Eye products are generally designed with archival quality in mind for scrapbooking. However, it is always best practice to use acid-free adhesives and papers to ensure the longevity of your projects.
Can I cut or alter the chipboard shapes?
These are pre-cut layered elements and are not designed to be further cut or altered. Attempting to cut them may damage the layers.
What does MPN S&R107 refer to?
MPN stands for Manufacturer Part Number. S&R107 is the unique identifier for this specific 'Friends Forever Layered Chipboard' product from My Mind's Eye.
Troubleshooting
Chipboard not adhering well
Ensure the project surface is clean and dry. Use a strong craft adhesive suitable for chipboard and apply it evenly to the back of the chipboard element. Press firmly for a few seconds.
Layers of chipboard separating
This is rare but can occur with rough handling. If minor separation is visible, a small amount of liquid craft glue can be carefully applied to re-secure the layers. Avoid excessive bending or pressure.
Adhesive bleeding through chipboard
Use a minimal amount of liquid adhesive. For very thin chipboard or delicate projects, consider using glue dots or double-sided adhesive sheets which provide a more controlled application.
