Product Information
Full details
Stickles Glitter Glue in Palm Leaf is designed for paper crafters, card makers, and mixed-media artists who need to add precise, vibrant shimmer to their projects. Its primary benefit is the fine-tip nozzle that allows for controlled application of intricate details, lines, or dots without the mess associated with loose glitter. The main caveat is that users must allow sufficient drying time to ensure the adhesive sets firmly and prevents smudging.

FAQs
How long does it take for Stickles to dry?
Drying time depends on humidity and thickness of application, but it typically takes 1 to 2 hours to dry to the touch and 24 hours to cure completely.
Can I use this on fabric?
Stickles are primarily designed for paper and porous materials; it is not recommended for fabric as it may not remain permanent through washing.
Is this product acid-free?
Yes, Stickles Glitter Glue is acid-free and non-toxic, making it safe for scrapbooking and archival projects.
What is the best way to clean up accidental spills?
While wet, the glue can be cleaned up with soap and warm water. Once dry, it may need to be carefully peeled or scraped off depending on the surface.
Can I store the bottle upside down?
Yes, storing the bottle tip-down is highly recommended as it ensures the glue is always at the nozzle for immediate use.
Troubleshooting
Glitter glue flow is clogged.
Insert a fine needle or pin into the nozzle tip to break up any dried glue particles.
The glitter glue appears to be separating in the bottle.
Shake the bottle gently for several seconds to re-mix the glitter and the adhesive base.
The glue is bubbling during application.
Reduce pressure when squeezing the bottle and move the tip more slowly to allow the adhesive to lay flat.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To begin using your Stickles, remove the cap and check the nozzle for any dried residue from previous uses. If the flow feels restricted, a thin needle can be used to clear the tip. For optimal results, ensure the surface you are decorating is clean and dry. To store, replace the cap tightly and keep the bottle stored tip-down in a small container; this prevents air from entering the bottle and keeps the glue ready for immediate use. If the glue becomes thick over time, avoid adding water, as this may ruin the adhesive properties. Always keep the product away from extreme heat to prevent the consistency from altering.
