Sometimes I really think you smoke some very good stuff to come up with these crazy questions.

Sometimes fruits and veggies look good on the outside. Then you cut it open and ewwwww rotten inside. I've had that happen to me.

Status: offline 		With glue sticks you just rub and go, I've never had trouble with other brands of glue stick so I am going to go back and get a different brand. See if that's a problem too. A mist of water might cause the paper to warp and buckle and stuff and I don't really wanna risk that.

Status: offline 		Yup me too I bit into a perfectly fine looking bell pepper and there was mold inside and I'd actually bit into some mold. Another time I cut the top off an there was mold in the bottom. So not appetizing. I'm just glad I didn't have my heart set on carving the pumpkin, that would be of been a hard blow to accept. I'll just take its seeds if they're any good, and hopefully they are, and give the pumpkin to my dad for his garden. The reason I said usually is, is cause last year we had a huge pumpkin I didn't carve and forgot about and it took like 7 + months for it to rot, same with my other little one his mom gave me.

Status: offline 		Maybe it is the paper.  If I remember right, scrap booking paper is a bit 'waxy' so you can tack on things without your glue medium drying too quickly, allowing you to remove/move what you are attaching around a bit.  Are you using scrap booking paper or going cheaper and using construction paper?

Try using a little glue on the paper and on what you are gluing down.  Usually you press the two pieces together, pull them apart (if I remember right this is called 'tacking') then press it back down again.  The glue sticks to itself, better adhering the two items you are gluing together.

I dunno.  I have a migraine and I"m not sure if I'm making any sense.

Hope your project comes out the way you want, and you are wildly happy with it.

Yup put it on both pages and it not only dried immediately, the glued pages are now coming un glued:(

This scrapbook paper is more like printer paper but it's got a better heft to it. It's not so flimsy.

Ever have a can of soda and it's watery and flat? That happens when the line operator fucked up and didn't purge the line with the new mix when switching over (say, from Pepsi to Mt. Dew, or whatever (way back in the 70s, I worked in the QC lab for a Pepsi bottler). So it could be a diluted product. Or it could be whoever formulated the batch skimped on an ingredient, so the glue doesn't meet specs. Or it could be that the solvent is evaporating too quickly because of low humidity (low water vapor partial pressure means there's more capacity in the air for other gasses; temperature and barometric pressure dependent).

But I wonder why the OP doesn't write the manufacturer and ask. And why she doesn't ask about dog-wrist action on a dog behavior site.

I mean, if I wanted to know how to, say, purge a hot water tank, I would ask a plumber, not a nurse or a hairdresser.
