Ways to Fasten Things Together
There are a number of ways of attaching one piece of paper to another. Brads, pins, paper clips, needle and thread, and staples are among the mechanical means available. Tiny staplers are helpful for reaching into unusually small openings, while long staplers are advisable for more extensive spaces. An average size and a long stapler are shown on page 2. Sometimes it is more convenient to use pieces of tape, especially in inaccessible places where a stapler will not reach. Tape is handy for securing parts for temporary purposes or for expediency when working for quick results. A double-coated masking tape is also useful. Paper can be fastened by tabs, shown on this page, and slits, illustrated on the facing page. There are some very fine pastes and glues, and rubber cement is excellent for certain problems.
