Mandrake's a bit of a tyrant but the other mods are fine. (Tip: Buy him a G&T and he's all yours). ;)

I use Power Pritt Stick. It's good stuff. Normal Pritt Stick will not do for me; I need power. Yeah, baby.

Also cards for magic (http://www.cards4magic.co.uk) sell rubber cement which in my opinion is better than a Pritt stick although it's a pretty good second choice.

To get the best results you should glue and then use a press to flatten the card. These can be bought pretty cheap from DIY shops.

quick, clean, and functional. There are many different makes available, just make sure you use the permanent pen.the semi permanent type, can be used as a roughing product.

I use Pritt stick as it achieves what I need it too but I am going to invest into some rubber cement soon from magic box.
