About this piece

There comes a moment, usually near midnight, when the last piece clicks home and you cannot bear to break it apart. This is the bottle for that moment. Our Archivist's glue is water-based, brushes on milky and dries clear in roughly two hours, leaving a gentle satin finish that keeps the picture readable rather than glossy.

A single bottle covers about 2,000 pieces in one coat — or a 1,000-piece puzzle front and back. The flexible spreader is cut with a slight bevel, so it glides across seams instead of catching on them.
