FAQs
How do I clean the fine tip if it gets clogged?
If the tip becomes clogged with dried glue, you can gently poke it with a fine needle, pin, or a specialized craft tool. For stubborn clogs, you can try wiping the tip with a damp cloth after ensuring the cap is off and the needle has cleared the opening.
Can Stickles Glitter Glue be used on fabric?
While primarily designed for paper and mixed media, Stickles can be applied to some fabric surfaces for decorative accents. However, it is not a fabric glue and may not provide durable adhesion or washability on textiles.
What is the shelf life of Stickles Glitter Glue?
When stored properly with the cap tightly sealed and kept away from extreme temperatures, Stickles Glitter Glue typically has a good shelf life, often lasting for several years. Discard if the glue thickens excessively or the glitter separates permanently.
Are the new colors a different formula than older Stickles colors?
The description does not specify differences in formula for the new colors, but they maintain the core characteristics of Stickles: acid-free, non-toxic, and non-setting with an easy-flow tip.
How much glitter glue is in each bottle?
Each bottle contains .5 oz of glitter glue.
Can I mix different Stickles colors together?
While not officially recommended, crafters sometimes mix small amounts of different Stickles colors on a palette or directly on their project surface to create custom shades. Test on scrap material first, as mixing may affect the flow and drying.
Troubleshooting
Glue is not flowing from the tip.
Ensure the cap is removed and the tip is not blocked. Gently poke the tip with a fine needle or pin to clear any dried glue. If the glue inside the bottle has thickened, it may be too old or exposed to air; try a new bottle.
Glitter appears dull or faded after drying.
Ensure the glue was applied evenly and not too thinly. For best results, apply a consistent layer. Ensure the bottle was shaken well before use to distribute the glitter.
The application line is uneven or blobby.
Practice on scrap paper to control the pressure and speed of application. Ensure the tip is clean and free of excess dried glue. Apply with a steady, consistent movement.
Glue takes too long to dry and smudges easily.
Apply a thinner layer of glue. Allow adequate drying time in a well-ventilated area away from humidity. Avoid touching the glued area until completely dry.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: Stickles Glitter Glue is ready to use directly from the bottle. Ensure the fine tip is clear before first use; if clogged, gently poke with a fine needle or pin.
Compatibility: This glitter glue is compatible with most paper crafting surfaces, including cardstock, paper, acetate, and other non-porous materials. It adheres well to dried paint, ink, and other adhesives.
Care: To ensure longevity and prevent drying out, always recap the bottle tightly after each use. Store upright in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. To clean dried glue from the tip, use a damp cloth or a fine needle. Avoid washing with water, as it can dilute the adhesive and glitter.
