I have a source for a product called Scor-tape. I buy it at an on-line store in Canada. It is inexspensive and goes a long, long way. Acid free, double sided, adheres really well. Comes in about 5 or 6 different widths. If you are interested you could pm me and I will send you the website (as I don't think I should mention a retailer in the forum)
If you are attaching the beads to a card you can use the heat & stick powder, you stamp an image with versamark then add the heat & stick, heat until watery looking, add the beads, then heat for a couple more seconds, or you can use the red tape (sticky strip) that you can get from SU or I have found sheets of sticky strip at Paper Wise. To attach the paper with the beads on to a card I would try sticky strip or the ATG, I don't know about the other adhesives that have been mentioned as I have never used them with the micro beads. HTH
Scor-tape *is* fabulous. I love it, along with this super sticky stuff I got from one of TexasJodyLynn's shares. As a last result, I'll use something like Glossy Accents (= to SU! Crystal Effects) or sometimes Stickles. It's not that it doesn't work. . . I'm just too impatient to wait for it to dry!
I love the "red-line" tapes like Terrifically Tacky tape. I think the Scor-tape is similar. The beads adhere beautifully and there is no gluey mess. The best part is that you can find full sheets of it, punch or run through a die-cut machine and micro-bead the shapes!
Make sure that you NEVER touch the beads with your fingers before adhering them to your project. They get coated with the natural oils from your fingers and then can't stick.

Where do you get sheets of adhesive??? That is such a good idea.

I have never been able to find anything that works better than that red backed tape. You can get it from stampin up or any craft store. I buy several different thicknesses for different applications.
Great for beaded pens too.

I always use Diamond Glaze by Judikins. Usually I drop some larger beads into it, then surround the larger beads with the microbeads. I have a recent photo of microbeads alone for a daisy center, using DG, in my gallery.

Wow, I'm so glad you said this or I probably would have been touching all over those beads!
