Do I have to use scaping glue with it?
In the manufacturer's directions, applying scaping glue over the compound is an optional step. The bonding effect is described for Composeal when it is used together with scaping glue. If you do use glue, apply it evenly, including on the opposite side of the scaping materials.

How is it different from using tissue paper with scaping glue?
