FAQs

What surfaces can I use these glue sticks on?

These glue sticks are best suited for paper, cardstock, cardboard, construction paper, and photographs. They provide a clean bond on most porous crafting materials.

Are these glue sticks safe for children?

Yes, the glue sticks are formulated to be solvent-free and have low odor, making them safe for use by children under adult supervision.

How should I store the glue sticks?

Store the glue sticks in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Always ensure the cap is securely fastened after each use to prevent the glue from drying out.

Can I use these glue sticks on fabric?

These glue sticks are not designed for fabric. For fabric bonding, a specific fabric glue or adhesive would be more appropriate.

How do I clean up excess glue?

Allow any excess glue to dry completely. Once dry, it can usually be gently peeled or brushed off. For stubborn residue on hard surfaces, a damp cloth can be used.

What is the advantage of the 40g size?

The 40g size offers a larger quantity of glue per stick, providing longer use before needing replacement, which is ideal for frequent crafters or busy environments.

Is the glue permanent?

The glue provides a strong and permanent bond once fully dried on appropriate surfaces like paper and card.

Troubleshooting

Glue is not dispensing

Ensure the cap is removed and twist the base of the glue stick clockwise. If it still does not dispense, the stick may be fully used or the mechanism is jammed. Try gently tapping the base.

Glue is not sticking properly

Ensure both surfaces are clean, dry, and free from dust or grease. Apply an even layer of glue. For heavier materials, apply glue to both surfaces before pressing them together.

Glue appears dry or clumpy

The glue stick may have been left uncapped for too long or stored in excessive heat. Always replace the cap securely after use and store in a cool environment. If clumpy, try to scrape off the dry top layer and apply the fresher glue underneath.

Paper is wrinkling after glue application

Apply glue sparingly and evenly. Ensure the paper is not overly thin or sensitive. Allow the glue to dry completely before further manipulation of the paper.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: No setup is required. Simply twist the base of the glue stick to expose the desired amount of glue and apply directly to the surface. Replace the cap after each use to prevent drying.

Compatibility: These glue sticks are primarily designed for porous materials such as paper, cardstock, cardboard, construction paper, and photographs. They are not recommended for use on fabric, plastic, metal, or other non-porous surfaces.

Care: Store glue sticks in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Ensure the cap is securely fastened after each use. Clean any excess glue from the applicator tip with a damp cloth if necessary. To remove dried glue from surfaces or clothing, allow it to dry completely and then gently peel or brush it off. For stubborn residue, a damp cloth may help.
