Oasis Floral Adhesive
What is floral adhesive used for?
Florists often place flowers or similar objects into an arrangement where the use of wire or tape would not be aesthetically pleasing. The solution is to use a floral adhesive. Floral adhesive is a fast-drying liquid adhesive formulated for use with fresh flowers. This fresh flower adhesive bonds quickly, safely, and easily, and provides a time-saving alternative to wiring and taping. The special formulation of this clear floral adhesive will not brown fresh flower petals and is ideal for corsages, wristlets, boutonnieres, and other specialty floral applications. Since floral displays are typically associated with weddings, the quickest way to find Oasis Floral Adhesive is to visit our bulk Wedding Supplies page and scroll down until you see the item. So, which floral adhesive is best for gluing flowers together? b+B's experts say it's Oasis.
Why would you use Oasis Floral Adhesive instead of hot glue on a wrist corsage?
For most occasions, real, fresh flowers are used for wrist corsages and boutonnieres. Using hot glue on either would shorten the life of the flowers because of its chemical composition, and would likely cause them to brown before the end of the night. Oasis Floral Adhesive will not brown fresh flower petals and that is why it is ideal for corsages, wristlets, and boutonnieres.
Is Oasis Floral Adhesive waterproof?
Yes, Oasis Floral Adhesive is waterproof.
What can you use instead of a floral adhesive?
b+B also offers Glue Dots - the perfect floral adhesive substitute. Floral Glue Dots are a double-sided, pressure-sensitive adhesive that sticks instantly to virtually any surface. They are perfect for attaching embellishments to containers or gift baskets. Unlike some liquid glues, Glue Dots require no drying time and are non-toxic and odorless. Since glue dots can be used for floral, gift, and balloon projects, the quickest way to find b+B's inventory of glue dots is on our wholesale Helium supplies page.
How to apply Glue Dots:
1.) Tear an individual glue dot from the roll, with both side covers still attached.
2.) Peel away one side of the glue dot. Press it to the first item you want it to stick to. Hold it for a few seconds to make sure the bond is secure.
3.) Peel away the other side of the glue dot. It should remain on the first item you stuck it to.
4.) Press the second item into place on the desired object over the glue dot. Hold for a few seconds to ensure the bond is secure.
Are glue dots better than double-sided tape?
Unlike double-sided tape, Glue Dots adhesives provide a clean, instant bond. Also, glue dots are easier to conceal in floral and gift arrangements than double-sided tape.
Do glue dots work on fabric?
Yes, glue dots will adhere to and bond with fabric.
Is there anything glue dots will not stick to?
Glue dots will not adhere to materials such as Teflon, silicone, and some plastics, such as polypropylene. In addition, they will not stick to any surfaces that are greasy, oily, dusty, or contain lots of moisture.
