Q. How many pads can I make with a 2-oz jar of pad adhesive?
A. Lots and lots. Always shake the jar first... There will be enough on the inside of the cap to make a pad.

Q. My glue is getting too thick. Can I thin it out?

Q. What software do you use?
A. My preference is Serif’s PagePlusX5 or WordPerfect. They allow dividing the page into many (pad) configurations. But most any word processor, spreadsheet or publishing program will work, including Sun’s FREE Open Office Suite.

Q. Do you really just use scissors to cut the paper?
A. When I first started, I used standard kitchen/desk scissors. Wanting to improve efficiency, I bought a pair of long-bladed scissors.
