Puzzle Presto Peel & Stick Saver: The Original and Still the Best Way to Preserve Your Finished Puzzle! - 6 Adhesive Sheets and 2 Adhesive Hangers

Let me just say I am NOT a puzzle saver! However, we did one that we just had to frame and keep. So - went on the hunt for the best way to secure the pieces. From all the reviews, I picked this one and am so glad I did! SUPER easy to use! I mean VERYYYYY easy! No mess. Fit the puzzle perfectly and we were able to trim any excess. Held the puzzle together beautifully!! Hubby is doing another one he wants to keep so we are buying more! Don't pass this up - you really will be happy with the results!

I had never wanted to frame a puzzle box until my daughter got me this one that was a puzzle of my dog. She had it specially made for me so I figured it would be a neat thing to frame and hang in the house. At first I thought I was going to have to use some kind of glue. But then when I saw this sticky paper I thought it would be perfect. In fact it turned out to be extremely perfect and just what I was looking for. The paper comes and sheets that can be cut to size or they can be overlapped for a larger puzzle. The pieces are easy enough to work with in the size that they come in, but there's also lines on the back for cutting to smaller sizes. My puzzle was 11 x 14", so I lucked out in that it would fit in a standard frame. I ended up using two pieces of the sticky stuff on the back so I have extra to use for future projects. One thing that I was curious about when I was deciding whether to buy this or not was how thick the paper was. The paper is about the thickness of a greeting card. So it has some stiffness to it and it's not just like a sheet of contact paper. I was really hoping that it would be like this so that it wouldn't be so flimsy in the frame. It was really perfect and that it added a little bit of stability to the puzzle without adding a lot of thickness. The instructions suggested that you cut the paper to size before sticking it on but I figured it would be easier to just trim a little excess off the edges rather than trying to stick something exactly to the edge. That worked out fine for me. I overlapped probably about a quarter of an inch on each side and when I turned it over it was real easy to trim the excess off with a scissors without damaging the puzzle. One other thing that I was concerned about was how to flip the puzzle over. There were some suggestions for that which I used and I ended up taking a stiff piece of smooth cardboard and sliding it off the table and right onto that cardboard. Then I took another piece of cardboard and put it on top. Then it was easy to flip the whole thing over. It might be harder if you had a larger puzzle, but it worked fine with the size I had. I thought this was a great product at a great price and it also came with some little hooks that you could stick on the back if you wanted to just hang up your puzzle without any frame. That's kind of nice although I have to say I wouldn't recommend it because I think the puzzle needs a little more stability then just the sticky backing. If you were really going to mount it directly with no frame, I would suggest having a dry mounted onto foam core board. Highly recommend, great value, will use again.

Worked great cut some to size, permanent semi flexible bond after 36ish hrs, good value, easy to use, quick and holds well

Like many others have said, the hardest part of using this is flipping the puzzle over. Plan ahead and assemble your puzzle on a piece of cardboard, then put a second piece of cardboard over the top and flip it. (The instructions on this package basically tell you to do that, but I had started the puzzle before this arrived.) This was definitely easy to use, with no mess and no fuss. It was easy to cut out the sizes I needed. Another reviewer recommended that you do not overlap the Peel & Stick pieces, so I just lined them up right next to each other, and it worked out fine. I used a rolling pin to secure the adhesive, and then let it sit overnight to "harden." I'm giving this four stars instead of five because unlike the description claims, this is definitely not permanent. Leaving it out overnight seemed to do nothing at all; the puzzle pieces were exactly as stuck as they were the night before. What you end up with is a a puzzle that is held together well enough, but is floppy, not rigid. A corner piece fell off while I was moving it. It was easily stuck back on, and I got the puzzle on the wall just fine; it just wasn't what I was expecting to work with. In fact, some people might like that the adhesive isn't permanent, because if you accidentally put the backing on crooked, you can peel it off and start again. Overall, if you are proactive about building your puzzle on something that makes it easy to flip, then this really is a hassle-free way to preserve it.

Bought this for my 12-year-old daughter for a 500 piece puzzle we built. Like a dream come true, you can have a perfectly preserved puzzle within a couple minutes, no worries that all the hard work you put into the puzzle can be undone. Her's was a 3D Visual Echo puzzle with hot air balloons, I hated to have her put glue anywhere around the textured surface because even it a little got on it the beautiful effect would be spoiled. She was able to simply peel and stick 3 pieces of this (half the package) to the back of her puzzle and now can frame it to hang on her wall. Still stunned at how quick and easy it was and ZERO mess, As a mom the no mess was my favorite part!!! Definitely worth buying should work for any puzzle. If it didn't fit your puzzle it would be easy to cut some off or add more. I plan to buy more for the 1000 piece puzzle my 15-year-old is building. I don't want any glue on her surfaces since she needs her colored pencils to work on them. Believe me, this kit beats glue any day!! VERY pleased and plan to order another right after I complete this review. If this review is helpful in any way, please give it a thumbs up below. I do these reviews to try to aid you in your purchases because I sure appreciate the reviews left by others. Thank you for your support. Edited to Add that I did re-order and now have "stickered" another puzzle, see 2nd photo of it, it is the color it yourself puzzle with the peacock.

Easy to use! And sturdy!

Have bought these a few times. Perfect for puzzles. We tape them, put them in a frame and hang them up.

This puzzle saver was easy to use and was well worth the money. I still put my puzzle in a frame to display on the wall but it will help my puzzle stay together better than not using it.

Highly recommended if you are a puzzle lover

What a great idea. Previously, I was using glue and bristol board. It is much easier with this product, and the end result is much better - puzzle sticks so easily and can easily be handled for framing. Highly recommended.

Utilicé el producto para un rompecabezas de 500 piezas. Fue muy buena opción utilizarlo en lugar del pegamento líquido porque es mucho más fácil y práctico. Además de que le da resistencia. Me gustó que el paquete incluye un par de ganchos de plástico por si decides colgarlo sin mandar a ponerle un marco de cuadro. Sin duda lo volveré a comprar.

was not adhesive as it should be

I have always glued my puzzles but I have never been happy with the end results. No matter which glue you or your product I use, I can always see streaks. These sheets were super easy to apply and none of my puzzle pieces were loose. As an extra precaution I used Scotch painters tape over the sheets to give the puzzle some extra strength. I am so much happier with with the end results. I have also used these sheets on wooden puzzles with excellent results.
