DennyEagle Posted April 16, 2013 Share Posted April 16, 2013 Simple question, going to Vientiane Thai consulate a a visa run, does it matter if I staple the pictures on instead of glueing them on at the consulate, which means walking up to the tables use the glue then go to the end of the line, saves me a lot of time if I can staple them at home, I cannot find a glue stick where I am. My forms are already filled out. Thanks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
USNret Posted April 16, 2013 Share Posted April 16, 2013 Get in line, wait a few minutes, then ask the person behind you to "hold your spot" while you duck out & use the glue up front. For myself, I just loop a piece of tape to make double-sided sticky & attach the pic that way. This needs to be moved to the "Arts & Crafts" forum.

Lantern Posted April 16, 2013 Share Posted April 16, 2013 Staples will eventually rust with the humidity levels there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crossy Posted April 16, 2013 Share Posted April 16, 2013 Pritt! Are you sure it's not available in your area, even our local Mom and Pop shop has it (OK they have one which they let people use). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JAS21 Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 The simplest glue is that made from a paste of flour and water. You may remember making this in kindergarten. It is easy, non-toxic and great for working with paper that needs gluing, including paper-mâché projects. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saakura Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 Take a grain of cooked rice, mash it between your fingers and smear it on the back of the photo and stick it. Dont know where you are that does not sell glue but hope they have a grain of rice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BrianCR Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 there is no queue as in a line - first you take a number then sit down and wait your number to be called - plenty of time to use their glue and it's free! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimi007 Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 My question is are staples aceptable, thats all I need to know Yes. I use them to attach photos to visa documents. Never had a problem! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimi007 Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 Staples will eventually rust with the humidity levels there. LOL! How long have you been here? Sorry, just a typical TV response. Actually glue, because of the humidity comes apart. I've had to have several pairs of shoes re-stiched to their soles because of the glue not bonding after a while. It would take a lot longer for a staple to rust apart! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sometime Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 I have been using the same Pritt Stick for the past 7 years for sticking my photos on forms, and its available everywhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NancyL Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 (edited) I've used the method of taking a piece of Scotch tape and making it into a little cylinder -- thus it's double-sided -- for the times when I can't find our gluestick because Hubby has once again "borrowed" it from my desk drawer.
