Ravensburger Puzzle Glue Conserver - Suitable For Up To 1000 Piece Jigsaws

I’ve used it on 2000 pieces puzzle (98cmx75cm) and 1000 pieces. It lasted for 3 layers on the big one and two on the smaller one. It worked brilliantly. The puzzles are up and hanging in frames. Very easy application. Made the puzzle colours more vivid and gave a bit of shine to the finish. After reading some other reviews I would have some advice on the application process. Press the bottle nozzle firmly to the puzzle and squeeze the bottle so a lot of glue pours out. Spread gently the glue. Make sure there’s a big puddle of it before spreading it. Don’t press hard with the sponge as it might cause the paint to rub off the puzzle pieces. Also if you have low quality puzzle, it might affect the final result.

Delivered as stated. Just what we had been looking for and of good value for money

Very easy to use and works

It works perfectly as intended, a liitle pricey since it cost as much as the puzzle itself, content should work for 2 puzzles of 50x70

Works very well. I gave two coatings front and rear, it held the 1000 jigsaw together very well and you can’t tell it is applied to look at. Enough left for another 3-4 1000 jigsaws as well

The glue is rather watery but comes out of the sponge applicator easily enough. The directions state it should be applied to the right side of the jigsaw and it's advisable to put a plastic or greaseproof backing behind the jigsaw first as some glue inevitably seeps through. It any of the backing touches the glue on the front of the picture it will stick fast. The glue takes an hour or so to dry but even after 3 applications over a day, some pieces were still not securely stuck (and this after I added a 4th coat over the back as well for good measure). I ended up putting sticky backed plastic film on the back of the jigsaw to secure it, as I wanted to hang the picture on a wall without putting it in a frame. There was plenty of glue in the bottle for 4 applications of a 1,000 piece jigsaw, with some to spare. I made sure to apply it evenly and it dried totally clear and was invisible.

Good glue but could have been more stronger, as some of the pieces came apart, the amount you get it good but glue needs to be stronger and thicker.

Good product, did what it says

Does well, the applicator is good and easy to use but find that puzzle needs more than one coat to completely stick together.

Prima volta che utilizzo questo prodotto. Applicazione intuitiva. Con delle pressioni continue si deposita il prodotto e poi con una passata uniforme si stende. Una confezione è stata sufficiente per passare 3 mani in un puzzle da 2000 pezzi. Asciuga velocemente. Dopo un'ora permette di passare la mano successiva. Alla fine delle passate, ad asciugatura completata, le tessere del puzzle si uniscono rimanendo un pezzo unico. La superficie diventa brillante. Ottimo prodotto.

The instructions say to lay the puzzle out, completed. Then put a coating of this glue stuff over the picture. I did exactly as I was instructed and it worked! I believe the glue works by putting a clear coat of epoxy over the picture, joining the pieces with glue in the cracks. Make sure you are getting glue in the puzzle cracks; I think that is where the epoxy is most needed. I had to go over a couple of spots I missed the first time because when the glue goes on, it really is kind of clear. It dries absolutely clear, but while wet it has a little bit of a white opacity. Because it only takes a reasonably thin layer to do the trick, I missed a couple of spots and had to redo those areas.

Not sure where or how the negative comments originate from, but this product works really well. Not to offend anyone, but if you find this product not working, then you are not using it correctly. After some hesitation on my own from reading the negatives, I ordered it to try for my self. I found that it worked without a flaw and it was as advertised. I squeezed the bottle properly and somewhat consistently so that there was a good flow coming out onto the puzzle. I looked for it being a steady white liquid appearing on the puzzle surface. I worked the liquid into the puzzle pieces with a smooth circular motion so the cracks would get filled. After that I gently brushed the surface with a vertical path back and forth the entire length of the puzzle to eliminate any stroke marks or uneven spots. It dried to the touch in about half an hour and then the next morning I found it for the most part dry. Maybe a little tacky in some spots but by the end of the day it was 100% dry. I put two coats onto the puzzle and I must say that it looks great. The puzzle is 42 inches tall and I was able to stand it up as one piece. This stuff works great. It goes on super easy. I've done two coats on this large puzzle of nearly 1100 pieces and then another1000 piece with one coat. There is still a good amount in the bottle. Without a doubt, I will buy this again. It will be my go to product for puzzles.
