FAQs
Is Stickles Glitter Glue truly acid-free?
Yes, the product is formulated to be acid-free, which is crucial for preserving the longevity and color of paper crafts and memory albums.
How do I achieve fine lines with the applicator?
Hold the bottle at a slight angle and apply gentle, consistent pressure. Practice on scrap paper to get a feel for the flow and control offered by the fine point tip.
Can I use this on fabric?
Yes, Stickles Glitter Glue can be used on fabric, though it may have a slightly stiffer feel once dried. For best results on fabric, test on a small, inconspicuous area first.
Does the glitter settle at the bottom of the bottle?
No, Stickles Glitter Glue is specifically designed with a non-settling formula, meaning the glitter remains evenly distributed throughout the glue for consistent application.
How long does it take to dry?
Drying time varies depending on the thickness of the application and environmental conditions. Typically, it can take anywhere from 30 minutes to a few hours for a thin layer to dry completely. Thicker applications may take longer.
What surfaces can I use this on?
It is versatile and can be used on paper, cardstock, rubber stamps, candles, memory album covers, wood, glass, and plastic.
Can I mix different colors of Stickles?
While not specifically recommended by the manufacturer, crafters sometimes layer or mix colors. Test on scrap material first to see the effect, as it may alter the consistency or drying properties.
Troubleshooting
Glitter glue is not flowing
Check if the applicator tip is clogged. Gently clear it with a fine needle or pin. Ensure the bottle cap is properly sealed when not in use to prevent drying.
Glitter is clumping or uneven
Although designed to be non-settling, give the bottle a gentle shake if it has been sitting for an extended period. Ensure even application pressure.
Glue is taking too long to dry
This can happen with thicker applications. Allow more time for drying, or apply a thinner layer next time. Avoid touching the area while it is still wet.
Accidental smudging after application
Allow the glitter glue to dry completely before touching or moving the project. Drying times can vary based on application thickness and environmental humidity.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: No complex setup is required. Ensure the fine point applicator tip is clear before use. If the nozzle appears clogged, gently poke it with a fine needle or pin. For initial use, it may be helpful to test the flow on scrap paper.
Compatibility: Stickles Glitter Glue is compatible with most porous and non-porous craft surfaces including paper, cardstock, cardboard, wood, fabric, glass, and plastic. It works well over paint, ink, and stamping mediums. Avoid direct contact with food surfaces.
Care: Store bottles upright in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Keep the cap tightly sealed when not in use to prevent the tip from drying out. Clean any accidental spills or excess glue from tools or surfaces immediately with a damp cloth before the glue dries. For dried glue, gentle scraping or rubbing may be necessary.
