FAQs
What surfaces can I use Stickles Glitter Glue on?
Stickles Glitter Glue is best suited for paper, cardstock, photos, and other porous craft surfaces. It adheres well to these materials.
How long does it take to dry?
Drying time varies based on the thickness of application and environmental conditions. It typically takes anywhere from 30 minutes to a few hours to dry completely.
Is the glitter glue permanent?
Once dried, the glitter glue forms a durable layer on paper crafts. It is acid-free and designed for longevity in crafting applications.
Can I mix Stickles colors?
While you can apply different colors side-by-side, mixing them directly in the bottle is not recommended as it can affect the consistency and color purity.
What is the difference between Stickles and regular craft glue?
Stickles is a specialized glitter glue that contains fine glitter particles suspended in a non-setting, easy-flow adhesive, designed for decorative sparkling effects. Regular craft glue is typically clear or white and dries clear without glitter.
How do I prevent the tip from drying out?
Always replace the cap securely after each use. Store the bottle upright to prevent glue from accumulating around the tip.
Is this product suitable for children?
Yes, Stickles Glitter Glue is non-toxic and acid-free, making it safe for use by children under adult supervision.
Troubleshooting
Glitter glue not flowing
Ensure the cap is removed properly. Check if the tip is clogged; if so, clean it gently with a damp cloth or a pin. Gently squeeze the bottle to encourage flow.
Uneven glitter application
Apply steady, even pressure to the bottle. Practice on scrap paper to get a feel for the flow rate. Avoid squeezing too hard or too little.
Smudged glitter after application
Avoid touching the wet glue. Allow adequate drying time. If smudging occurs, gently try to smooth it with a clean, dry tool or reapply carefully once dry.
Tip is dry and hard
Soak the tip in warm water for a few minutes to soften any dried glue, then gently try to clear the opening with a pin.
