                        I sometimes use Gator glue. It is extremely strong, glues painted parts together and dries clear. But it's not tacky at all until it starts to cure, which can take 10-15 minutes.  It's a problem when trying to glue a part to a non-flat surface.

                        Is there a tacky glue that has the above nice properties?

                        Aleene's clear glue may work for you. It's in the craft glue section of walmart, michael's, and Hobby Lobby.

                        I swear by Mod Podge. You can get it at Hobby Lobby also. It's like Elmer's except maybe a little thicker, and goes tacky I'd say within seconds depending on how much you use. Dries fast, dries clear. I love it.

                        second vote for Aleene's. Super tacky and strong.
