Speedball Mona Lisa Adhesive Pen for Metal Leaf Kit w/Silver Simple Leaf

I haven't had a chance to try this adhesive pen and leaf set, but as with most Speedball products, I expect it to be first rate.

I liked the concept and the pen worked decent the first few passes, but became increasingly difficult, gummed up & difficult to use. Would not buy again.

This adhesive does not work. I’ve tried it several times and it never will get sticky enough for the leaf to stick. They have wonderful spray adhesive but this liquid is a bust.

I don't think that the instructions on this are correct - the adhesive that comes in a jar says to leave it for 20 -30 minutes. This pen says 5 minutes, and it just doesn't work. But if you leave it longer it works. You just have to leave it longer than the directions say.

Barely coming out, only good for small pieces. I returned it

Pen doesn't like to apply enough glue, so product can't grab enough to stick. Seems to get better the more the pen is worn in.

The tip is rough and flow control is awful resulting in puddling. It warped the paper I was working on. I imagine it may work better on hard surfaces.

Product is very messy you can’t control the amount it lets out
