Hello,

I'm wondering if there is a readily available product that is applied onto envelope flaps. The type where you would lick the flap and it becomes sticky.

Is this material available ? I hunted throughout the town and the only small coin envelopes I found had some "pimpled" surface glue on to that does not lick and seal at all. I'm using the envelopes for people to actually seal the envelope completely, and using scotch/ round tape as an alternative would be a waste of time on stage.

Thank you

I cant say i have ever seen envelope gum for sale.

you would be better of using a tape pen, and making them self stick.

What about double-side tape? You can have it stuck on the flap and have them peel off the other side when they are ready to seal it.

If you're interested in making up your own gum, you could try this http://www.ehow.com/how_5907_make-envelope-stamp.html I'm not sure how safe it is to lick though.

Yes, it exists:

(It's available from lots of places, that was just one of the first ones to appear on the results page.)

EDIT: It's about halfway down. That place also sells Zig "blue glue" pens, so maybe a useful one for magicians.
