Product Information

Full details

This Elmer's Disappearing Purple Glue Stick is ideal for students and crafters needing a reliable adhesive for school projects and DIY activities. Its key benefit is the purple color that aids in precise application and disappears as it dries clear, preventing visible glue marks. A potential caveat is its suitability primarily for paper and lightweight materials.

FAQs

Is this glue safe for children?

Yes, this glue stick is non-toxic and washable, making it safe for children to use.

Does the purple color stain?

The purple color is temporary and designed to disappear as the glue dries clear. It washes off easily from skin and most fabrics.

What surfaces can I use this glue on?

It is best suited for paper, cardstock, construction paper, and lightweight fabric. It is not recommended for plastic, metal, or other non-porous materials.

How long does one glue stick last?

The duration depends on usage. Each stick contains 6g of glue, suitable for typical school projects and crafts.

How should I store the glue sticks?

Store them in a cool, dry place with the cap tightly secured to prevent drying out.

Can I use this for scrapbooking?

Yes, it is excellent for scrapbooking as it dries clear, doesn't warp paper, and provides a good bond for photos and paper elements.

What is the difference between the purple and white glue sticks?

The disappearing purple glue sticks are purple on application for easier visibility and coverage checks, drying clear. Standard white glue sticks are typically white throughout the application and drying process.

Troubleshooting

Glue is not dispensing

Twist the base of the glue stick counter-clockwise to extend the glue. Ensure the cap is removed.

Glue appears dry or crumbly

The glue stick may have been exposed to air for too long. Ensure the cap is always replaced after use. If dried out, a new stick may be needed.

Purple color remains after drying

Ensure the glue has been allowed to dry completely. If the application was excessively thick, it might take longer to dry clear. For very thin applications on non-porous surfaces, some slight tint may remain.

Glue not adhering properly

Ensure both surfaces are clean and dry. For very porous materials, apply a slightly thicker layer. This glue is best for light materials like paper and cardstock.

Pros and Cons

  • Dries clear, leaving no visible glue residue.
  • Easy to clean up from hands, clothes, and surfaces.
  • Safe for children due to non-toxic formulation.
  • Convenient size for school backpacks and art supply kits.

Cons

  • Best suited for paper and light crafts; may not bond heavier materials effectively.
  • The small 6g size might require frequent replacement for extensive projects.
  • Can become tacky if left uncapped for extended periods.
  • Purple color may transfer to some porous surfaces if not allowed to dry fully.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: No setup is required. Simply twist the base to expose the glue stick. Replace the cap after each use.

Compatibility: Ideal for bonding paper, cardboard, fabric, and other porous craft materials. Not recommended for heavy-duty bonding or non-porous surfaces.

Care: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Ensure the cap is securely fastened to prevent the glue from drying out. Clean any excess glue from hands or surfaces with soap and water.
