So, yesterday was not so productive…I had a kid home sick (that seems to be my theme song lately) so my desk looks this with my lovely re-glued and properly functioning ink pads on it! Why and I showing you my desk you ask? Because it is What’s on Your Workdesk Wednesday of course!
I made a video showing how easy it is to fix ink pads where the pad has come off. I used the new single use tubes of Gorilla Glue for that. One tube was enough to fix all of my pads and fix a broken wagon I had. I would always waste so much when I bought a big tune because I could never go through it before it cured! Here is the video if you want to see how it is done:
I checked the wagon and it is perfect now, i think I might use it in my craft room for storage/decoration! Thanks for stopping by and til next time happy crafting!
LOL! I have a Versamark pad that this has JUST happened to. You must be psychic! Will watch after all my commenting is done!

I wish I had seen this video 6 months ago. I just thru out those exact ink pads because of that problem and because the dried out. They were about 15 years old. what do you use to reink? Your videos are great.

Thanks Jane, I use Stampin Up reinkers to reink the dye pads (the square ones in the video) because it is high quality and you get more in a bottle for less cost of other brands but for the pigment ink (the petal points) I make my own and I have a video here: https://thefrugalcrafter.wordpress.com/2012/03/12/video-tutorial-how-to-make-pigment-ink/
Have fun;)
