FAQs

How much glue is in each stick?

Each glue stick contains 40 grams of solid adhesive.

What materials can this glue be used on?

This glue is designed for paper, cardstock, and similar porous materials. It provides a strong bond for these items.

Is the glue permanent?

The glue creates a strong, durable bond. While it is washable when wet, it forms a permanent bond once fully dried.

How do I clean up excess glue?

The glue is washable with water when wet. For dried glue, gently scrape or rub it off. For fabric, wash with soap and water.

Is this glue safe for children?

Yes, the glue is non-toxic and washable, making it safe for use by children under supervision.

What should I do if the glue stick breaks?

Try to twist the base back down slightly, then gently twist it up again, advancing only a small amount of glue at a time. Avoid advancing too much glue at once.

How long does a glue stick last?

With regular use and proper storage (cap secured after each use), a 40g stick should provide ample glue for many projects.

Troubleshooting

Glue stick is not advancing.

Ensure you are twisting the base mechanism counter-clockwise to extend the glue. If it feels stuck, try gently wiggling the base while twisting.

Glue is drying out inside the stick.

Make sure the cap is firmly sealed after every use. Store the glue stick upright with the cap on.

Poor adhesion on materials.

Ensure both surfaces are clean, dry, and free from dust or grease. Apply an even layer of glue and press firmly. This glue is best for paper and cardstock; it may not work well on other material types.

Glue is not drying clear.

Apply a thin, even layer of glue. Excessively thick application may take longer to dry or appear cloudy. Ensure the glue is within its shelf life.
