FAQs
Are these dishwasher safe?
It is recommended to hand wash these in warm, soapy water to preserve the flexibility of the plastic head.
Can these be used by young children?
Yes, they are designed for classroom use; however, adult supervision is recommended for children under 3 years old.
Are the colors random in the pack?
The pack includes an assortment of red, green, blue, and yellow spreaders.
What is the material of the spreaders?
They are constructed from high-quality, durable, non-toxic plastic.
Can I use these with wood glue?
Yes, they work well with standard PVA-based wood glues, provided you clean the spreader before the glue sets.
Troubleshooting
Glue has dried on the spreader head.
Soak the spreader in warm water for 5-10 minutes, then gently wipe away the softened adhesive.
The spreader head feels too stiff.
Ensure the product is at room temperature. Cold plastic can become rigid; warming it slightly between your hands will restore flexibility.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
There is no complex setup required; simply remove the spreaders from the packaging and they are ready for immediate use. These spreaders are compatible with most water-based school glues, white craft glues, and PVA adhesives. To maintain the life of the product, wipe off excess glue with a damp cloth immediately after use. If glue has hardened, soak the spreader in warm, soapy water for a few minutes and wipe clean. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to maintain the integrity of the plastic.
