FAQs
Is this glitter glue safe for young children?
Yes, the Creativ Glitter Glue is non-toxic and safe for children's crafts and classroom use.
What surfaces can I use this glitter glue on?
It works well on paper, card, wood, and foam. For very smooth surfaces, test adhesion first.
How do I clean the precision tip?
Wipe the tip clean with a damp cloth or paper towel immediately after each use. If it becomes clogged, soak the tip in warm water or use a fine needle to clear it.
How long does the glitter glue take to dry?
The formula is quick-drying, but drying times can vary slightly depending on the thickness of application and environmental conditions.
Can I mix different colors of glitter glue?
While you can apply different colors side-by-side, mixing them directly in the bottle is not recommended as it may affect the consistency and adhesion.
What is the shelf life of the glitter glue?
When stored properly in a cool, dry place and with the tip kept clean, the glitter glue typically remains usable for an extended period, often a year or more.
Does the glitter shed after drying?
The adhesive is designed to hold the glitter securely. Once dry, shedding should be minimal under normal handling.
Troubleshooting
Glue is not flowing from the tip.
Ensure the tip is not clogged. Check for dried glue and carefully remove it with a fine needle or by soaking the tip in warm water. Make sure the cap was properly removed and the bottle is being squeezed firmly.
Glue is too thick or clumpy.
This may happen if the glue has started to dry out. Try gently warming the bottle in your hands or briefly soaking the tip in warm water. If the product is old, it may be time to replace it.
Glitter is separating from the glue.
Gently knead the bottle to re-distribute the glitter. If separation is significant, the product may have been stored improperly.
Poor adhesion on certain surfaces.
Ensure the surface is clean and free from dust or oils. For very smooth or non-porous surfaces, a light sanding or application of a primer might improve adhesion.
Accidental smudges or mistakes.
Wipe away immediately with a damp cloth or paper towel while the glue is still wet. Dried smudges may be difficult to remove without damaging the underlying surface.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The Creativ Glitter Glue Bottles are ready to use straight from the packaging. Ensure the precision tip is clear before the first use; if any dried glue is present, gently poke it with a fine needle.
Compatibility: This glitter glue is compatible with a variety of porous and semi-porous surfaces, including paper, cardstock, cardboard, poster board, wood, and craft foam. For best results on non-porous surfaces, consider a light sanding or priming.
Care: To maintain the quality and usability of the glitter glue:
- After Use: Immediately after each use, wipe the tip clean with a damp cloth or paper towel to prevent clogs.
- Storage: Store the bottles upright in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
- Cleaning: If glue accidentally gets on surfaces, wipe away while wet. Dried glue can often be peeled or gently scraped off.
- Tip Maintenance: If the tip becomes clogged, soak the tip in warm water for a few minutes or use a fine-tipped tool to clear the blockage.
