Tack 2000

To secure stems in foam bouquet holders.
When the arrangement is complete,
spray between stems onto foam.

It doesn’t matter that the foam is wet.
 The adhesive will be tacky,
 but will not set hard (at least not today!).
Do this only when the arrangement is complete
 as it is difficult to insert stems
once the adhesive is applied.

 Don’t spray onto visible flowers or foliage
as it will leave a residue.

 Leave the arrangement over a bucket
 or other receptacle
 as some of the adhesive/water will run,
but only for a short time.

Add ribbon trails later
 as you don’t want adhesive dripping onto this.
You can tuck the ribbon into the gap
between the holder and the flowers
and the adhesive will grab hold of it.

To test,
give the arrangement a gentle shake
 and you should find that none of the stems fall out!
