Let us find the puzzle you are looking for
We are frequently asked if we can find particular jigsaws - on a specific topic, or brand, size or title. We have access to many more jigsaws than we can possibly have in stock, so we are only too happy to check out the catalogues anad order in any that you may especially want. We enjoy doing the research, and we love making you happy. So, dont be afraid to ask us!! Just click here and send us a message.

Puzzles by the artist Victoria Francis
We have just restocked puzzles by the Spanish artist Victoria Frances. Her evocative, expressive paintings, depict stories in the Gothic Romantic style. Characterised by desolate and melancholic atmospheres, her work is hugely popular around the world, and each piece produced by Educa, translates into a wonderful jigsaw.
The two images here, butterfly and The Lovers, are imensely popular.

Gluing a puzzle
Just recently I was talking to a customer who was having one of our p
uzzles framed. She had paid over $20 to the framer to get the puzzle glued. She was somewhat dismayed when I told her we could have sold her a whole bottle of puzzle fixative (enough for two 1000 piece puzzles) for $10.00.

There are two brands of fixative available on our website. The Holdsons brand has enough fixative for two puzzles, depending on how thickly you put it on. The Ravensburger one is larger, will do 6-8 puzzles, and has a useful sponge tip to help with the spreading.
The other key thing about gluing jigsaws with proper puzzle fixative is to glue it on the picture side, not the back of the puzzle. It gives a lovely gloss finish - the more coats, the higher the gloss. It also helps as a dust repellent.
