I have 3 Xyron machines of different sizes, which I love to use. I am using them for making personalized cards for friends and family. I seem to get glue all over if I use it. This product puts the glue where I want it and in case I get it in the wrong place I gently pull it up and reposition it! I would recommend the Xyron 2x2 eraser to get any excess glue off. I didn't give it 5 stars because it is expensive but Amazon's price beats my local craft store (who don't take coupons for Zyron products). I would recommend it to anybody doing paper crafts or working with children (it's like s sticker machine.)where glue would get all over.
