As a general rule of thumb, I have found that the "weight" of the adhesive should get thicker as the paper you are aiming to glue gets thicker. I recommend (as always) Golden Acrylic mediums for the job. "YES" glue tends to have a long "open time" meaning it never ever seems to want to dry and PVA is a little too delicate for MM collage work.
For thin papers like magazines, try Matte or Gloss medium (the thinest adhesive)
For thicker papers like vellum or an envelope, try Matte or Gloss Gel Medium (slightly thicker and comes in a tub)
For thick papers like cardboard, try Soft Gel Gloss or Heavy Gel Medium
For wood or metal objects, try Extra Heavy Gel Medium
a metal washer stuck to a canvas - use the Extra Heavy Gel medium.
