- HI guys, it's Whynabile here.
Today, I show you how to preserver your puzzles with school glue. This method is much easier than using "puzzle glue" and takes less time. It's better overall, and I hope you use and enjoy it.
I'll try to put out more vids over the summer.

Just noticed this was a piece of art I created some years back. Thanks for posting. @artistdom1971
That is cool!
Best part of video: Did stuff with grandpa. 🥰
Thanks for inviting. - Yeah, no problem 🤣
So ironic... searched for an easy, inexpensive way to glue / frame a puzzle, and I found your video. Then I looked at the puzzle, and it is the exact puzzle I am trying to frame!! It's called, "Old Woodland Canal." Cool! Good video, thank you for sharing!
Hi, thats a freaky coincidence! I was also thinking, I wonder, what the puzzle is called, how many pieces are there, in it and how long did it take him, to complete it ?!! I ended up here because I want to find out, what is a good size puzzle, to start me off with. I haven't done one in over 20 years!! I have too much time, on my hamds nowadays plus, I am bored! I am 5 years late, for your comment! It is 4.34 am on 22 nd of February 2020 :) xxxx
@@mathonamoore123start with 1000. Anything less real isn't a challenge and won't keep you occupied for long. Then go to 2 or 3k. Pieces.
Great tutorial. That's sweet you and your grandfather did this together. :-) :-) :-)
If you put the puzzle down in one corner of the backing board so two sides of the puzzle are lined up exactly even with two sides of the backing, you'll have to trim only two sides instead of four.
Great video, and super cool that you and your grandpa spend time together like that
I love the fact that you included your grandfather in the video. Speaking from an informative view point, you could have just showed us how to do this by yourself and saved some time by not having to worry about collaboration. Instead, having your grandfather in the video lets us, as the viewers, feel like we are also a part of the hobby process that you (as it seems) enjoy with your grandfather. This is much more of a comfortable setting than had it been just yourself giving an auditory presentation. I bring this up because I found myself not caring whenever you stuttered or an unplanned pause was created. Don't get me wrong, I don't come to CZcams for constant High quality performance. I just want you to know that I still would've enjoyed the video, had I clicked on this video not in need of puzzle preserving advice. I also came out of it with a reminder that good intent can overshadow any kind super clean presentation practice(Also, I'll probs' save on glue prices. Pretty sweet.). You seemed appropriately practiced and organized. The idea of sharing a hobby you and a loved one enjoy warmed my heart. I can't say I regret clicking on your video in the slightest and hope you and your grandfather a good puzzle building future. I got a puzzle to glue.
Lazzerwolf117 - Awww such a sweet response 😊😊😊😊😊😊
This comment is just beautiful. Warmth all around.
What a load of drivel!!!! Are you high? It is just a quick video on how to preserve a puzzle, no the Geneva Convention!!!!!! Don't take it so seriously!!!
Love how you and your grandfather made this video it so sweet. ❤
This is unbelievable. I work at the puzzle company that makes this puzzle. AND I personally designed this puzzle from the artwork acquired from the other gentleman !!!! Small world 😃
My first puzzle ever, just finished it 500 pieces I know it's problably baby one for most but I really enjoyed doing it. Thank you for sharing how to keep it together.
It depends on the shape of the pieces, and the kind of picture. Some 500-piece puzzles are _much_ harder than 2000-piece ones. For instance, this evening I completed a rather difficult 504-piece one. All of the pieces were the standard shape, and a large section of the photo consisted of a confusing patch of flowers and leaves.
Wayne Phillips I've got a 550 pc right now that's been about 90% done for a few days now...only thing left are a bunch of black pieces, and slightly different shades of black lol. Pretty rough.
@@asmartbajan GREAT point and so true!! Blue sky backgrounds and puzzle pieces that look alike are NIGHTMARES!!!
Your video reminded me of many happy hours that my dad and I spent with each other, putting puzzles together.
Awesome! My son and I just did a puzzle and glued it just as you recommended and it turned out perfect. Thank you so much!
Awesome job, guys! We just finished a big one and were hoping to take it w/us after spring break vacation. Tyvm for the easy tutorial.
I do the same - we make lots of puzzles, buy I dilute the glue slightly and then, since the puzzle is protected, I coat it with a Clear urethane finish - then frame it - they look great
Loved watching this; seemed like comedians. Great advice. Thanks.
The grandfather saying "hi" 💖
Aww what a sweet relationship you have with your grandpa. How I wish I get to experience that to any of my family members
THANKS SO MUCH, for your very simple, informative videos, gentlemen ,on preserving puzzles😉😃
Loved it ! - thank you for making this so easy to do !!
Yes we used school glue for our class puzzles which we drew lines and shapes with a ruler and then cut them out with scissors and then pasted them all over with school glue. They looked really nice and we sold them at our school gala.
Thanks so much I always wondered why we had to buy special puzzle glue and not just go to any store and buy cheap school glue.
Including your Grandfather in your videos is very heartwarming to see.🙂💞
Try 1:1 PVA/Water mix and pour over the top of puzzle which has been placed over the backing piece (I use foam board). Brush into puzzle and wipe away excess glue from the surface using lint free rag. For a 1000 piece 50x70cm puzzle I find a 100ml mixture just right. In a single step you'll glue the pieces together and also to the backing board.
Very cool video! ❤️ Gave me an idea to preserve one of my puzzles.
Just watched this in 2024 and found it useful. Thanks.
Thank you so much for this great tip!
~☆tysm for sharing this. i was so discouraged when i realized i don't have any "mod podge" or "puzzle glue". i do, however, have tons of elmers school glue. SO IT LOOKS LIKE I WILL GET TO PRESERVE MY PUZZLE TODAY~♡
Great video....thanks guys! Going to preserve a puzzle for the first time....it's the periodic table. Hope to frame it and put it in our boys room.
Thanks for this! Very helpful!
Wont applying glue on top fog the puzzle??
when i finish a puzzle i flip it over and use clear packing tape to tape the intire back so that peices wont come apart or fall off.
then i will either frame it or glue it onto a thicker peice of craft board.
I am going to try this way. need a try-out jigsaw before I attempt in on my 9000 piece jigsaw
Chris Johnson + Great Idea!
Hey everybody
Sounds good but how do you flip puzzle over without the pieces coming apart ?
Good idea for making sure the pieces stay in tact! Does elmers glue stick okay to the material of the packing tape?
Thanks! Simple & easy. What type of backing board did you use?
Nice puzzle, where did you get it - the 1st one with the houses. Nice job! 👍🏾
Im doing this today, my mom said we use to use elmers glue as a child. I just didn't see how white glue wouldn't make a fog on your puzzle. I see now it doesn't thanks for sharing! 👍
Thank you, I needed to know about the fogging, if any. 👍
You can also use the clear glue if you want to give it a glossy finish too versus the kind of matte finish you get with the white glue
Nice, elbow in the way of the proces, EXCELLENT...
Bob Lightyear you farkin sook bahahah
Thanks guys im doin a puzzle with my daughter shes 8 and wanted hang it up its her first 1000 piece puzzle
Great video! I start doing puzzles too cause of quarantine
lol, me too! I used to love doing puzzles, but never could find the time. Now with covid, and being furloughed, I have alot of time on my hands! I've done 4 puzzles so far
Anyone else here because of quarantine?
Hubby got into puzzles due to quarantine. What else to use for backer board besides foam board?
Me. I have developed a puzzle addiction. :-D
Yea
Mobster Roll Me and its nearly October now 🙃
very wholesome, thank you
Wow! I wish I knew this a long time ago! Thanks so much for showing me this. 😊
looks great. I wish I had put down a backing board first
I came across your video and my husband and I thought of the same idea you did, but I have a question after time did the bored get kinda wavey like? If so how can you keep it flat
great video very helpful
Using an old credit card or i.d. (any flat edge item) to trial the glue would be easier & better for showing the glue in my opinion as a carpenter lol but yes, other than that. This is great 👌
Elmer's glue now has 'clear' school glue. I wondered if Elmer's glue was a wise choice. If a person wanted to trim off the white edges just start the puzzle in the corner of the board. Will only have two edges to trim. Thanks for confirmation of glue choice.
Where can I buy these puzzle? Love the picture. :)
Hey bud thanks for such a clear and useful video. Quick question, would this process work using clear drying PVA glue?
Yeah, that should be fine. Elmers is just one type of PVA glue. Glad you enjoyed :)
@@whynabile thanks
Did you get the poster board? Where do I find it? Cuz I'm doing want to.
I’m afraid of this method even though you made it look so easy.
What is the advantage of using all the glue over just using a sticky sheet on the reverse side of the puzzle to hold it together?
Thank you in advance for your reply!
sticky sheet becomes less sticky over time
Can you, Please, offer suggestions on creative ways to use finished puzzles, other than framing, its becoming too costly for me. :-(
Thank you 👍
Good Job ;)
you will find that if you use more glue than the amount used, the puzzle will glue itself. Place the puzzle face side up on wax paper. Use a thicker coat of glue. The glue will seep through the cuts and stick to the wax paper. spread carefully. it comes out clear with no streaks. Waa
laa. Done
You won't have brush strokes if you use a plastic putty knife
Thank You 👍🏿
Do you put that in a frame or do it frameless or what? What's next?
You guys just saved me $
So listen Whynabile...Let me first start by saying the puzzles are beautiful. I have nothing but respect for the time U2 have spent bonding and creating memories.
However, we still have some unfinished business! I need answers on the green bottle issue. Please refer to my prior comments and respond when you have a moment. I’ve been waiting quite some time.
God bless you Bryon! I agree, your love for your grandfather is indearing. However, we needed a guy like you to step up and show some protest against this disgrace of an act. I appreciate you commenting again Bryon and I look forward for next months comment. Ya gotta admit whynabile, you used the green bottle glue. Just come clean bud, just come clean. We can get passed this if you admit. If you are going to keep dancing with wolves, we are going to have to keep taking issue.
What would y'all put that in the frame
My wife found out flip puzzle over using two flat cardboard same size is puzzle or find a box cut to shape .then use clear packaging tape on back side this will hold puzzle together. Then on front side use clear Elmers glue let dry and done..cheap easy
Wouldn't clear glue work better? So it's more clear? Or is clear glue not strong enough? My son and I are half way done with a 1500 Piece puzzle and we didn't put it on a backing piece like you did. So it might be harder for us to move!
I keep trying to convince my daughter to use Elmer’s, because it is so much less expensive!
Where do I find one at the poster board let me know what size is it I'm having a hard time looking for one let me know I'm on here all day everyday
"i'm on here all day every day" .. aww girl, i read your comment and felt that **hard** since my country has been in lockdown for 6 weeks now. Also, since i'm commenting anyway, i just wanna note how great it is that this video was a Grandpa/Grandson collab❣❣
Can you hang that up on the wall like that or no
How do you get to post board from
What kind of glue is that is it clear
Would water + glue work?
Use a foam board next time so it doesnt get too wavy.
Where do you purchase a “foam board”?
@@cwalker3871 I bought a foam board from the dollar store. They are useful where the other poster boards are at.
@@cwalker3871 Walmart
I just flip it upside down and use strong duct tape then you can do whatever. Used it on 1,000+ and large kid friendly 50ish piece puzzles. Has not failed and no messy glue.
Can you use regular Modge Podge on puzzles?
I did that, it holds together well but you go through a lot if you're doing the front and back of the puzzle.
Has anyone tried spray glue on puzzles also clear adhesive roll, like for shelf liner on the back?
I just tape it on the back and in the frame it goes, never had any problems
Why not just set the puzzle in the corner and just make 2 cuts?
That thing is gonna curve when the glue drys
Of course, the paper is too thin. Even better for the back side is self-adhesive film. Clean and without waves.
Well, how do you prevent curving? Use a puzzle glue?
I did it 2 puzzles!!!!!! Doesn't glue put a white film over the puzzle making the colors dull? SO DAD
No, the glue becomes transparent once dry
Season's Greetings Whynabile! It's time for the annual check in to see how you are doing and if you've had a chance to reflect upon my comments as well as another concerned subscriber, Min 6? We're not so much angry anymore as we are glad to see you've persevered through the pandemic. However, this does little to satisfy our ongoing concern about your usage of the green glue bottle at the 2:43 mark on the above video. Although your video helped catapult our puzzle gluing career it also gave us pause as we admittedly have concerns about your integrity. Can you let us know why you seemed so adamatantly opposed to the green glue bottle, yet still decided to sneak it in? We noticed and I'm sure others share the same sentiment. We want to close this chapter but we'll need your help with this. Awaiting your comments. Many blessings friend!
Bryon! Great to here from you! Seems as we’re still on the same page old pal. So glad you took the lead as I’ve been thinking about this during this holiday season. It appears as though @whynabile is still in hiding. Your silence is deafening. We WILL NOT go away, we’re here for the long haul. I do appreciate that you’ve given serious consideration and didn’t impulsively write back in the past 3 years. However, we believe your time is up and a response is now eminent. We’ve given you space and time to reflect upon your poor decisions, and we need you to come clean now. Let us know if there’s anything we can do that will help you illicit a response to us. Help us help you.
Dear Bryon,
Thank you for your thoughtful viewing of my puzzle glueing video. After careful consideration and thorough review of the available evidence, I would like to state my position: I absolutely did NOT use the substandard green glue on this puzzle. Please consider these facts: First, the puzzle was already glued at the instance of alleged green-glueing - there would be no reason to add additional last-minute glue; Second, the puzzle was not lying flat on the table when the green bottle appeared to pass over it, so it could not have been depositing any pressure, or glue, on the puzzle. From traumatic experience with the foam-tip green-bottle sub-standard puzzle-glue, pressure must be applied to the applicator to get so-called "glue" flowing; Finally, and most importantly, frame-by-frame forensic analysis of the video, conducted by a third party and peer reviewed, reveals that the bottle at 2:49 was in fact applicator-side up, therefore not applying glue to the puzzle. We believe that these observations unequivocally prove the innocence of 14-year-old Jack.
Again, thank you for your careful viewing and dedication to the truth. I hope this answers your question.
Happy Puzzling,
Jack (Whynabile)

Dear Min,
Thank you for your thoughtful viewing of my puzzle glueing video. After careful consideration and thorough review of the available evidence, I would like to state my position: I DID use the green puzzle glue, which is in reality the superior puzzle preserving product. At the time of this filming, I had just entered an exclusive eight year contract with the international school-glue lobby. As part of that lucrative deal, I was obligated to slander all competitor products, including this wrongly-maligned green puzzle glue. In secret though, I still used the green puzzle glue, as it is a far superior product. When I saw your comment, I knew I had messed up and accidentally been caught on camera. For obvious reasons, I could not have responded any earlier, until the contract ran out earlier this year.
Again, thank you for your careful viewing and dedication to the truth. I hope this answers your question.
Happy Puzzling,
Jack (Whynabile)
Doesn't glue put a white film over the puzzle making the colors dull?
It dries clear
@@alishasanchez7772 I found a different one I like. Thank you though. The one I use is called Puzzle Glue and it comes in an orange and blue box. It comes with a scrapper as well works really good.
@@inspectorsteve2287 Yes! I just used that one today and I like it a lot better than modge podge. It was so much quicker and left no streak lines.
It was like $11 for 2 bottles we used 1/2 bottle per 1000 piece puzzle, I did use modge podge on the back just to make it stronger. A little expensive but for certain special puzzles I’ll def buy it again.
@@kee-tu4cq thanks for the reply. I have a follow-up question for you. Did it keep your puzzle flat or did the glue drying make it wavey
@@inspectorsteve2287 No with the puzzle glue it actually stayed totally flat. When I use modge podge I do tend to get a little curl at the edges, which is another reason I liked the MasterPieces puzzle glue better.
There won't be any white marks from dried glue left????
I have tried this and it made my puzzle dull with white streaks . I use packing tape over the back
How do you keep it from curling
Put weight on it . But I recommend taping the back
I've done this before i don't like the result it gives it a dull streaky finish I just flip them and tape the back it is weak as well but it does hold the puzzle together for framing etc
@ Tarah wilkinson, Would you mind sharing the process of your style of puzzle mounting with me? I have a photo collage puzzle completed that would look great framed and displayed in my apartment. It's the gift I gave my husband when we got married this March, so the thought of pouring glue over it does is not calming to my senses. Thank you for any help your willing to offer. God bless!
@@harliquinedance3526 hi there sure it would not be a problem at all to give my advice on the puzzles so like my comment stated the white glue will leave the puzzle dull and it kind of leaves like a whitish finish on it so I definitely do not recommend using glue the best technique so far that I have found is I flip the puzzle over and I use clear packing tape to tape the back together it is not very stable but it works for me because I actually stack all of my puzzles in a portfolio and I just keep them in there or I frame them so if you're using it just for that purpose like you stated where you're using it for a frame then that would be perfect because if not it will fall apart because the tape is kind of floppy on there but you should be all right if you're going to frame It . Oh and congrats I recently got married as well .
Can the puzzles then be hung after doing this?
Yes
Then pore Art Resion over it .
Wow the comments here are so much more wholesome than in "Swiss Army Knife trick 2"
collective mind
Looked already glued
How did it ruin the puzzle? You say that it is the same thing as the elmers that you used just watered down!!!!!
+David Gouin Elmer's glue is worse. sealerslike Mod Podge are like craft glue (and are even used as glue), but they also include things like varnish in the mix. watered down glue may give the impression of the same finish at first, but after a while it'll start to yellow and peel. sealers will still keep a nice finish because they're designed to do exactly that.
I have a 3D puzzle I'd like to mount for my grandson, the face of it is not smooth like a regular puzzle, it's, I guess u would say it's holographic. I'm afraid I'll ruin the puzzle if I glue the front, can I just glue the back side?? Anyone?? If anybody can answer this for me, I'd appreciate it immensely, thanks.
Maybe try a spray adhesive.

HI Robin Hensley, thanks for ur input on the puzzle saving. I did go on Amazon and bought the adhesive backing sheets. It was a pretty small puzzle so I only had to use 2 of the sheets, it worked out really well, and I would recommend them :) I have about 8 sheets leftover, so I can do other smaller puzzles. Don't really know how many packages I'd need for a large puzzle, but I'll find out soon enough (I have one that's 3ft X 2ft). The problem with the first one was/is the frame. That was a pain in back side, took awhile to get it (puzzle) centered, and once I got it all ready and held it up (It was done on my table), so when I put under the Xmas tree, leaning against a table, the doggone puzzle SLID DOWN, ugh! And it was lopsided. Needless to say, I wasn't a happy camper. Any suggestions on a GOOD PUZZLE FRAME or how to keep it from sliding would be appreciated :( Do I need to glue them to the frame mat??
wait, did you call mod podge overpriced? I bought a 2 oz. bottle from dollar tree, you gotta be kidding me...
Great vid, but got a bit confused at the 2:43 mark in which my 11-year-old daughter noticed you reverted back to the very (green bottle) glue that you completely demonized at the onset of the tutorial. Smh!
No he didn't
Ha ha ha! That’s so true! Maybe we should just use that glue instead
Delores gosnell he did on the right side of the screen you can see him apply it
So @doloresgosnell I’ve had a little more time to think about your rebuttal and I want to make peace with you but we still need to get to the truth. I haven’t slept in a year. I have researched every green glue bottle there is in the country and I’m telling you @whynabile Is not squaring up with us. You should be as upset as I am! I agree that his love for his grandfather is endearing, but the 2:43 mark still needs explaining! Let’s see if we can get him to come clean!
Absolutely! This has been just as frustrating for me. I too haven’t slept in a year. I’ve been taken anti-depressants and I can’t handle it anymore. We have to crack him @bryonremo I’ve been waiting to for you to come back with your counterclaim
1:33 Rinse your paint in a little piece of water... Umm okay lol
GOOD VIDEO... but not sure you can use "any" glue . just try "super glue3 " glue with , i do'nt think your puzzle will resist . but il helped me a lot . you have to think a lot before "take a market and trace onto..." just genious, dude!!!
@ex calibur, good point. However, we are puzzled [pun intended] at the 2:43 where the creators originally claimed that using the green bottled glue was bad, and yet he clearly uses on the right section of the video. What do you make of this?
ex calibur Hey just curious what your take is on the kid trying to sneak the green glue bottle at the 2:43 mark?
mod podge works better and is stronger
Nex time, have the camera IN FRONT of the puzzle. All we could see was your Grandpa's back & elbow!!!
Please, SPEAK UP. I can hardly hear you in this video.
Nevertheless, Thanks for the tip on preserving Puzzles.
Too slow
Ha ha ha ... cheap, cheap ... have you heard about epoxy resin?
