Side by Side Comparison of: Avery vs Surebonder

We got a really good deal on these but then realized that 18 is a lot of glue sticks. Gave them to my son's 2 year old class and the teachers were thrilled!Glues very well.

As a mother of a kindergartner that had to purchase 36 glue sticks for back to school... I am so happy that these were part of the 'add on' program! They ended up being better quality glue for lower prices than in the store. And then I even got the packs that had the bonus +2 sticks in them so I got 8 glue sticks for $2.04! Thank you Amazon!

We use this in our business (not for crafting or scrapbooking), but for industrial drawings to glue revisions on when needed quickly and easily. We find these to be a must have, and buying them in bulk packs like this is really nice. Means we can scatter them around the shop without always having to hunt for one.The glue itself seems of good quality, the tube is a good size and 'holds' various paper/cardboard/tagboard stock plenty well for our use. Have and will order again.

This package came right on time with no issues. It was packaged with a few other things I had ordered. The price was worth it for me. I have never really boughten glue. I have always just snag it from my mother's house or my little sister. She is now 13 and doesn't require glue for school. So I had to actually go buy glue.nThis is way better than the dollar tree glue. That is where I went first. My pages were coming out within the next day. This glue, on the other hand works great. No issues with things falling out yet,

Purchased three of these for my sons school and each one had two bonus glue sticks included. Not sure if future ones will but it was a nice surprise. These work just as well as the more expensive brand, we really like them.

I purchased these Avery Glue Sticks because they looked amazing. I have bought similar products before and have never been satisfied. I am so pleased with this purchase I made because the product exceeded my expectations. It performs very well and is constructed with quality materials. I will be definitely buying more in the future and will also recommend friends and family to buy this product. It has only been a few days since I use it but so far I do not have any complaints. The product was also very well packaged which protected it from shipping and handling damages.

I work in a school where we use a LOT of glue sticks. When the school year started four weeks ago today I had bought a pack of glue sticks that contained about twenty sticks that I figured would last me for about half a year. Well, one teacher borrowed one here, one borrowed two there, I used a bunch and now I was down to like two and a half sticks already with a whole wall still needing to go up. I decided it was time to place an order for so many glue sticks that I wouldn't have worry about buying any for a long time.

The Surebonder pack of 100 all-purpose glue sticks is just what you think it is. First, remember these are mini glue sticks for the types of guns that accept these like the one that I am using. Since I had some posters to put on the cinder block walls of my classroom and these walls are very well known for nothing in the known universe sticking to them besides hot glue, the ultimate miracle of science, I decided to try these bad boys out. Well, my little glue gun gets to a pretty high temperature compared to other "lesser" glue guns which other teachers have compared to the surface of our sun but these little glue sticks spit out molten, sticky glue like there was no tomorrow and conquered that wall in no time flat. Each of these glorious glue sticks measures about four inches long and with one hundred of them this gives you about four-hundred inches of potential melted glue with which to stick things to walls and whatever else you feel the need for. Oh, and all of this comes in a handy storage bag that we call "packaging" for future use! Awesome.

In all seriousness, if you have a glue gun that accepts mini glue sticks and need a lot of them, then these little glue sticks will probably serve whatever purpose you need them for AND there's plenty of them! I love these little sticks.

as expected :)
What more can I really say? they are for the mini hot glue gun. Perfect fit, heats quickly, bonds well with all materials.
I own the "cool" hot glue gun and I have no complaints with these glue sticks.
We like to do a lot of arts and crafts with the kids.
I made my daughter's flower girl headband by hot glueing faux flowers onto her headband. very cute and saved me lots of effort finding the perfect flower girl headband.
I actually glued the volume knob back onto the pin.
I also hot-glued the rubber dobby back on to our door stoppers that my son likes to pull off. haha! can't remove them now!

These are the best brand of glue sticks that I have come across! I run a small business making flower crowns and go through a lot of glue sticks! These are my favorite glue sticks to work with as they hold up really well! I haven't had any issues with construction quality with these. They hold up fantastic to the wear and tear that my customers put on their headpieces.

I had bought these at the perfect time. Searching everywhere for a good price, but wherever I went they always seemed so expensive as I am in Hawaii. But I put these in my cart and 2 days later I got a notification that they were cheaper !! Winning for this mommy ! Haha anyways these are perfect for crafting and DIY projects for moms and dads and also for fixing broken things. I am very pleased with my purchase of this product and will be buying again. It came perfect timing to finish my Christmas gifts for family and friends!

Using these with the Surebonder mini glue stiks Surebonder H-195 Mini Detailed Glue Gun and have absolutely no complaints so far. These glue stiks melt fast, dry clear and they do not thread (at all) which is probably what I love best about them.The threading issue, I think may be a combination of the quality of glue stiks and glue gun, because I recently let my friend borrow my good glue gun and had to resort to my old (*shudders*) Walmart brand glue gun, and using the same glue stiks that I had been using in the newer/better gun, I immediately began to get the threading effect again.

works great just that it could have been a little bigger in size and more in quantity. Had to use more than one glue stick for a simple project.

I use these at work to glue address labels to forms. Each stick lasts me about two working days so they don't last long but they're cheap and they work.

What was I thinking? I will never use 18! glue sticks in my lifetime. . That said, this is a great utility glue stick.

Just your average glue sticks. Easy to work with and safe for the kids. My kids use these to do their projects.

This was a great deal. We use these all the time for our art projects. We only use permanent glue sticks because every other one will come undone. Happy with the deal and hopefully we will use them up before they dry out.

I ordered this to use on the hot bed of my 3D printer. It's not what it was made for but it works and is much cheaper than the cost of the special tape for the hot bed. I saved about $20 on the first week of using a 3D printer. so in the long run saved about $200

These glue sticks work well but they changed something in the formula. The glue sticks not have a cloudy look to them and not a clear look. Since this started they do not stick as well after the glue tries and can peel up easier

These glue sticks work fine put will detach when the air gets warm. I've had to go back and repair a lot of projects.

Package came opened but it seems full truth be told im to lazy to count them. They burn quick like any glue stick i only wish they were longer

Better than the smaller packs you can buy at Hobby Lobby, and for a lesser price this makes it a great deal. Otherwise, you are getting exactly what you expect: 100 glue sticks that you then use to craft and complain about all the times you accidentally burn your fingers.

I use this glue as my go to hot glue for my business. I use a ton of it and it's awesome as a good, general hot glue. I rate it 4 stars because it's not amazing at bonding metals to other material. Though I find if I glue it a second time it holds very strong. It does produce a lot of glue strings too which is another reason I rate it 4 vs 5 stars.

It's glue sticks. It works ok. Pretty much on par for most glue sticks.

We assumed they were the large sticks as we make our own greeting cards and those sticks were always available ATMs Office Depot and staples. We cannot get them at all now. Very disappointing.

Use it while it is fresh and it will perform. The larger packages are great for the budget conscious but when the product sits in your desk for several months, it gets dried out and this happens from the time it is opened. So if you use it frequently, great. If not, don't buy a lot of them thinking they will perform as they should months down the road.

Less strong than some European brands I have tried(UHU) but does the job and is cheap.

waste of time is what i think of glue sticks but kids have to have them

One stick doesn't last long. I haven't purchased glue sticks in a very long time, however I remember them having more glue in them.

Too short. The glue stick runs out quickly, though likely fine for small projects. Adheres well.

You get what you pay for. These didn't provide the most consistent hold. But, worked okay for projects involving paper and/or very thin fabric.

Works as described. Not that sticky but I am using glue gun for the first time so don't have experience of other glue sticks.

I thought these were a good bargain. They work, but the glue sticks I've had in the past dried faster and held stronger (wish I could remember what brand that was). These work ok, but I have to stop and give it time to dry, and I have to use a little more because the hold isn't great. I guess sometimes you only get what you bargain for.

These hot glue sticks are a little softer than some others I've tried in the past. Because of that the bond isn't quite as strong on various projects or repairs. But what can you expect for the price? These are priced reasonably and do a competent job but they are far from the best.

3 stars.

Comes half empty.

These glue sticks are not very strong. The glue doesn't spread well to the surface you are trying to put the adhesive on. I bought these to help seal envelopes without liking them but they don't hold up to the task well. There are other glue sticks on the market that work significantly better than this one. Don't try and save money by buying these as you will be disappointed and want to buy a better quality one anyways.

The item was old and the glue did not work.

very small.

I do collage and have never tried a glue stick til this one and oh my goodness, what a joke. It just doesn't adhere, even paper.

Received the gun but nm o glue six with it!
Gun is very nice but where are my glue stixs!?

Hot glue need to be used within seconds otherwise will get dry and solid

Glue sticks seemed old

eh they arent that great do not stick to things they should and very very subject to fail with temp changes

sticky to the touch when you get them and after they are used. not clear as advertized, much cloudier than even normal glue sticks. not worth it. get a different brand

I don't know if it melted sometime or if it was used. Clearly not as advertised.

Did not work for me at all

Doesn't really make much stick. If it is permanent glue, shouldn't it make things like paper stay stuck together?

Bought these from Amazon. I ordered them Feb. 28 & the date stamp on the top of the cap was 01/16, so they were OUT OF DATE when they were shipped. They were OLD STOCK, and they are stiff turning & hard to use and started drying out as soon as I started using them. Very unhappy with Amazon. I was on my last 2 glue sticks so I ordered another package. So by the time I started using the new ones and discovered that they were crap, my Replace or Return time had expired. I will buy them locally from now on.

These do not work! I bought these to glue sticky note type paper onto origami paper and it doesn't stick. They can easily peel apart. I had to throw them out and buy rubber cement and double sided tape.

doesn't work at all and dried up after one use

I am no scientist so I cannot readily identify what it is in this glue that makes it weak, sloppy and difficult to use as compared to the larger sticks by other manufacturers. So I am going to try another manufacturer than FCP Corp. and see if I find a mini glue stick that seems to work better.

These are NOT 5/16 inch diameter, despite the description. They are .27 of an inch. Some guns might be able to use them, some might not. And don't let one of the seller's answers of saying they are slightly under 5/16 to allow for smooth movement through the gun fool you. That's like a used car salesman telling you there's no spare tire to save weight making the car more economical on fuel; spin that is just trying to convince you a problem is actually a benefit in order to make a sale.

These were smaller in diameter than amortized. Don't work very well.

Size not provided in description, so it doesn't fit my glue gun.

Stringy, messy, absolutely worst quality glue around. I prefer getting the walmart mini glue sticks. Way better for the price too.
