Scotch Permanent Glue Stick Solvent-free, 1 Pack of 5 Glue Sticks, 21g each - Water-based Strong-Hold Adhesive Stick for Arts & Crafts

This is a permanent glue stick and it really does have very good adhesion which holds over time. Most other glue sticks I have used start to come unpeeled over the course of a year, but this one lasts really well. It is very easy to use, dries quickly, so only has a very short period of less than a minute where you might be able to reposition your items and holds well. These glue sticks are more expensive than supermarket and budget brands but if longevity is important then it is worth buying a better quality glue so I would recommend these for adult who remember to put lids back on glue sticks, rather than for kids' projects. I dislike the plastic wastage involved in glue sticks like these, but have not found a better alternative for strong adhesion in a dry glue medium, so I tend to buy the larger sizes wherever possible for lowest packaging:glue ratio, so I was pleased to find a bulk pack of the larger sized tubes, however they do come in a range of sizes if that is what you need.

Really great consistency for papercraft and journalling with minimal warping/wrinkling and dries flat and clear with excellent adhesion. Good value multi-pack.

This multipack of paper glue sticks are good value, the adhesion is better than most other brands i have tried but not amazingly so, just a bit better. My kids love paper crafting, so much so that i never need to worry about shredding documents i just hand it to the kids and its shredded and re purposed into a tank or aeroplane. We must run through glue sticks like a Yorkshireman would with bottles of milk for their tea. Now, the trouble with some brands of glue stick is they, well, don't stick, so, i did a bit of research and came across these. 3M are synonymous with adhesives and i figured they have to be half way decent from a brand such as these. Indeed they are, the adhesion is good, the kids have even commented saying they want this particular brand again as it works the best. Having used it myself, it is better than most but i wouldn't say it was outstanding but it does work well if you make sure you put it on evenly and get a good coverage. The glue sticks are fatter than the normal size you can get, this is great as they last longer and can cover larger areas with fewer strokes. They also come with a little plastic holder that you can use to store them together so that there is less chance of them getting lost. Overall i am happy with these glue sticks. They work well and are much better than some of the cheaper budget brands. If you or your kids do paper crafting these are a good purchase.

Works very well.

Excellent quality glue. Much stronger than other brands I've tried and I have re-ordered these many times and will order them again. They are my go to glue stick for paper crafting.

I do a lot of crafting with the kids.. sticking paper, plastic and cardboard together. We usually use pritt sticks, but they've got a bit expensive lately, so I switched to these. 5 was more than we needed, but I scattered them in drawers around the house for occasional use. In terms of crafting, they're great. They go on smoothly and easily, like Pritt Sticks, but they don't tear off blobs as easily as Pritt's do. They have great adhesion for art projects and don't leave greasy smears on the paper, or bleed through to the other side,. so you can do all kinds of decoupage with them.. And once it's dry, it's very sturdy, far more sticky than Pritt Sticks. The sticks are nicely chunky too, so you can do big projects. Good value, overall.

Really strong glue for crafts good price and great size can be used for various craft projects would purchase again

I have tried glue sticks before. The one beginning with P. But I just did not get on with them. But after viewing several YouTube videos I decided to have another try and settled on this brand. Pros: It really does stick paper/card together. At this price it is very good value for money. Cons: During heatwaves it just starts melting and you can't be sure how far it will spread. Also on very small pieces of paper/card/etc., you have to put a protective sheet of something underneath. And then that can become sticky and before you know it your whole workspace is in a mess.
