FAQs
Is Stickles Glitter Glue permanent?
Yes, once fully dried, Stickles creates a permanent, durable bond and finish on most paper and porous craft surfaces.
How long does it take to dry?
Drying time depends on humidity and the thickness of the application, but it typically takes several hours to be completely dry to the touch.
Can this be used on fabric?
While it can be used on fabric, it is not a permanent fabric glue and may wash off or crack if the item is laundered.
Does it contain real glass?
No, Stickles uses high-quality cosmetic-grade glitter particles that are safe and non-toxic.
How do I prevent the glue from leaking in the bottle?
Always ensure the cap is screwed on tightly after each use and store the bottle upright or tip-down to prevent air pressure build-up.
Troubleshooting
Glue is not coming out of the tip.
The tip may be clogged with dried glue. Use a fine needle or pin to gently clear the opening, then squeeze lightly to clear the blockage.
Air bubbles are appearing in the line.
Tap the bottom of the bottle gently on your palm to force air toward the base, or store the bottle upside down for a few hours before use.
The glitter finish looks streaky.
Apply the glue with a slow, steady hand, ensuring even pressure. Do not overwork the glue once it has been applied to the surface.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Precision fine tip allows for intricate detail work
- Acid-free formula protects long-term project integrity
- Easy to control flow prevents messy blobs
- Consistent, high-pigment metallic finish
Cons
- Requires significant drying time for a full set
- Glitter can be difficult to remove from fabric if spilled
- Not intended for heavy-duty adhesive tasks
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To begin using your Stickles, ensure your work surface is flat and clean. Remove the cap and test the flow on a scrap piece of paper before applying it to your final project. The formula is compatible with most porous craft materials, including paper, fabric, and wood, but performs best on heavy cardstock.
To maintain the longevity of your glue:
- Cleaning: Wipe the fine tip with a damp cloth immediately after use to prevent the glitter residue from drying and clogging the nozzle.
- Storage: Store the bottle cap-side down. This keeps the glue near the tip for instant use next time and prevents air pockets from forming in the bottle.
- Temperature: Keep the product in a cool, dry place to maintain the consistency of the adhesive base.
