FAQs
Is Stickles Glitter Glue suitable for children's crafts?
Yes, Stickles Glitter Glue is acid-free and non-toxic, making it safe for use in crafts with children under supervision.
How do I clean up spilled Stickles Glitter Glue?
While wet, spilled glue can be wiped up with a damp cloth or paper towel. Once dry, it may be more difficult to remove from certain surfaces.
Can I use Stickles Glitter Glue on fabric?
Stickles Glitter Glue is primarily designed for paper and similar craft surfaces. While it may adhere to fabric, it is not specifically formulated for fabric application and may wash out or not adhere permanently.
How long does a bottle of Stickles Glitter Glue last?
The lifespan depends on usage. With proper storage and consistent application, a 0.5 oz bottle can be used for many small projects or a moderate number of accent applications.
Does the glitter settle at the bottom of the bottle?
No, Stickles Glitter Glue features a non-settling formula, meaning the glitter is designed to remain evenly suspended in the glue without needing to be shaken.
What surfaces can I use this glitter glue on?
It works well on paper, cardstock, rubber stamped images, album covers, candles, and other craft surfaces. Ensure the surface is clean and dry for best adhesion.
Troubleshooting
Glue is not flowing from the tip.
Ensure the cap has been removed. Gently squeeze the bottle. If clogged, try clearing the tip with a fine needle or pin. If the glue has dried inside, you may need to replace the bottle.
Glitter is clumping or uneven.
Ensure the bottle has not been shaken vigorously, as this can sometimes cause clumping. The non-settling formula should prevent this, but consistent gentle squeezing is recommended.
Glue is taking too long to dry.
Ensure a thin, even layer is applied. Thicker applications will take longer. Ensure the surface is clean and dry before application. Avoid applying in excessively humid conditions.
Color appears dull or not as vibrant as expected.
This is inherent to glitter glue where the sparkle comes from the glitter particles. Ensure the glue is applied evenly. Allow the glue to dry completely for full effect.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Remove the cap from the Stickles Glitter Glue bottle.
- Gently squeeze the bottle to dispense the glitter glue.
Compatibility:
- Surfaces: Works best on porous surfaces like paper, cardstock, and matte board. Also adheres to non-porous surfaces like candles and plastic, but drying time may vary.
- Projects: Ideal for scrapbooking, cardmaking, journaling, rubber stamping, and mixed media art.
Care:
- Storage: Always replace the cap securely after use to prevent the tip from clogging and the glue from drying out. Store bottles upright in a cool, dry place.
- Cleaning: If the tip becomes clogged, gently wipe it with a damp cloth or use a fine needle to clear the opening. Excess glue on non-porous surfaces can often be gently wiped away before it dries completely. For dried glue on hands or tools, use soap and water.
