    Customers like the glue stick. It has the right amount of stickiness and tackiness, providing a strong bond for paper and other lightweight materials.

    Adhered a slick surface sufficiently and dried quickly
    I made a 19 pointed star tree topper with the 20th point left open to sit on the tree. It was a challenging task. I was using slick wrapping paper glued to copy paper to give additional weight to it. The paper tabs that needed inserting inside other star points for gluing are hard to reach given the tight space and angles. The wrapping paper would not adhere with rubber cement or hot glue. I tried both thinking I couldn’t reach well enough to hold pieces together while they dried, and either of those would adhere immediately, I thought. This glue stick both adhered the slick wrapping paper and dried quickly enough to make the construction possible. Nothing came unstuck during the Christmas season.

      Non-Toxic and Safe: The glue is non-toxic, making it perfect for children’s projects. I can hand these over to my grandkids without worrying about safety.

      I finally had a reason to use these glue sticks and was very pleased with their quality for such a reasonable price! I have some peel and stick closure envelopes that need a little help to stay closed for mailing and the glue stick was very helpful. The cap on the glue stick was a bit difficult for me to open but, once opened, the results were great! I have used glue sticks in the past without the purple color and it was tough to see where I had glued. These sticks solved that issue beautifully!

      I am impressed with how good these work for my use case. I use them for my 3d printer bed to help with first layer adhesion, I initially bought because they shipped faster than the Elmers brand I’ve always used, but I’ve had better results at less than half the price. That being said I’m unsure of performance when used for crafts and other standard use cases, but if you’re using for a 3d printer, it’s better than hairspray and Elmers in my experience.

      Not sure why I bought 30 glue sticks but I did and now I need to keep 3 and give the other 27 to my grand kids class room. But overall they work great and are really low priced.

      J'ai pris ces colle et j'apprécie le faite qu'elle soit petite et pratique pour les ranger dans une trousse d'école ou autre. De plus on peut bien définir ou la colle et déjà mise car une couleur violette se dépose en même que la colle et s'efface complètement au bout de quelques seconde donc super pratique même pour les enfants.

      Oggi condivido con voi le mie opinioni su questo prodotto.
      Avendo quattro figlie a casa di colle ne consumiamo una gran quantità. Laq scelta mia e di mia moglie è caduta su questo prodotto perche ci offriva una buona scorta ad un prezzo molto vantaggioso. Essendo un prodotto Amazon Basic in più aveva la garanzia di essere un prodotto valido.il pacco è arrivato ben confezionato delle giuste dimensioni a garantire un buon trasporto del prodotto.
      La colla è risultata di ottima qualità. Ha un ottima tenuta e la consistenza è giusta, ne troppo dura ne troppo morbida . Molto comodo il fatto di essere colorata nell' atto dell'applicazione. Quando si stende si vede dove si è già passati. Dopo
      poco tempo dall' applicazione il colore scompare rendendo la colla trasparente.
      Davvero un ottimo prodotto che per qualità può competere tranquillamente com le marche più blasonate

      These are the best glue sticks we have every used, love the purple colour. We use them in our workshops and they always went missing, the purple colour of the glue helps our workshop users who have learning difficulties to see the glue. We have named all of the glue sticks after our staff members and they all go back into their box after every session.
