FAQs
What is the main purpose of Stickles Glitter Glue?
Stickles Glitter Glue is designed to add a fine, shimmering glitter effect to craft projects like cards, scrapbooks, and mixed-media art.
How do I achieve a solid glitter line instead of a thin one?
To achieve a more opaque line, apply multiple thin layers, allowing each layer to dry completely before adding the next.
Is this glitter glue safe for archival projects?
Yes, the formula is acid-free, making it safe for archival purposes and preventing yellowing or degradation of your projects over time.
Can I use Stickles on fabric?
While primarily designed for paper crafts, it can be used on some fabrics, but testing on a scrap piece is recommended as results may vary, and it might not be permanent or washable.
How long does the glitter glue take to dry?
Drying time varies depending on the thickness of the application. A thin layer may dry in 15-30 minutes, while thicker applications or multiple layers can take longer, up to an hour or more per layer.
What does 'non-setting' mean?
'Non-setting' means the glitter glue remains slightly flexible after drying and does not become hard or brittle, providing a smooth, touchable finish.
How many colors of Stickles are available?
Stickles are available in many different colors, offering a wide range of options for your creative projects.
Troubleshooting
Glue is not flowing from the tip.
Ensure the cap is removed. Shake the bottle vigorously. If clogged, gently poke a fine-point tool into the tip opening.
Glitter application is clumpy.
Apply with lighter pressure and thinner strokes. Ensure the tip is clean. Allow layers to dry fully before adding more.
Glue is spreading too much.
Apply with a lighter touch and avoid excessive pressure. For finer lines, hold the tip slightly above the surface. Allow more drying time.
Color appears dull.
Apply a second or third layer after the previous one has dried completely for a more vibrant sparkle.
