Side by Side Comparison of: Office Supply Store vs Crayola vs STEMSFX

Well, it's glue. It sticks. There's not much more to say. lol These glue sticks are my FAVORITE type. Would recommend.

I don't use glue sticks for paper. I use the glue stick to keep the 3D printed plastic sticking to the print bed of my 3D printer. Does the job.

I use this glue on my glass 3D printer bed and it is amazing. Since it easily washes off with cold water, it makes clean up quick and easy. I recommend this to anyone who is 3D printing on a glass bed with PLA or ABS as an easy way to get the filament to stick to the bed while making it easy to remove after the bed has cooled.

I use these glue sticks for the bed of my 3D printer. Purple glue stick works great for sticking the 3D prints to the glass bed. This product gets 5 stars because these larger sticks are HUGE and are a way better value than the small sticks. Unless you are doing precision work, I recommend these larger sticks.LIKED THIS REVIEW? Please help others see this too by pressing the button YES below.

I do a lot of 3D printing with ABS and other filaments that need help sticking to a heated bed. Imagine my surprise when I discovered a youtube video by a guy who claimed that purple glue stick worked better than hairspray. Now I'm a guy who shaves his head every day; what need do I have for hairspray? Or worse, creating some slurry from ABS scraps and acetone? What am I, a chemist? Nope, I'm an electrical engineer. I don't need to be mixing up noxious chemicals in my printing room. So I gave the glue stick treatment a try and what do you know, it will stick both ABS and PLA, it's non toxic, there's no fumes, and it goes on quickly and cleans up with water. I have to keep these locked up because my kids have discovered that they're also good for (who would have thought of this) sticking papers together for art projects.

Just the thing to lightly apply to my 3D printer print surface. I have used it on glass as well as BuildTak and it is a much better alternative to 'ABS Glue', it goes on easier, comes off easier, and doesn't leave a permanent color on the bottom of my prints. It is water soluble so you can wash it off your prints or your print surface and start over at any time. It doesn't take much so one jumbo stick lasts a long time.Oh yeah and I hear it sticks paper to stuff pretty well too. :)

Crayola crayons are always great quality. What I liked was that this 2-pack came sealed inside of a durable zip-lock-type bag which keeps them dry and clean. These were purchased as a gift for my niece who will be traveling with her parents and I know she'll love them and her parents will love that they have this extra bag.

Used these for melted crayon art. They melt more evenly than off brands I bought for discounted stores. Wish that they bigger packs where priced better, but they regular colors worked for my project I am working on

I'll be honest, the part I love most about these crayons is the names. Inchworm? Jazzberry Jam? Who comes up with these? Creative types, that's who. And in KC, we have more per capita creatives and artists than any other place in the US. I bet they could come up with some great names.

Came packaged, in a easy to open box, none of the crayons were broken. My children, ages 4, 6, & 7, will dig through our crayon drawer which has about 1000 crayons in it just for Crayola. They color better, and the soft paper wrapped around them feels better on their fingers.

I bought these to make Christmas ornaments with (melt inside glass balls). Decent assortment of colors. None are broken and are presharpened. I think value wise you could find them cheaper at a store but I didn't have time for the store and just wanted them quick. Good size packaging for a backpack or activity bag.

for some reason the stores here didn't have the 24 pack of crayons so this is another time that Amazon saved the day. They are great to use as we all grew up using Crayola crayons.

*** Update ***For you 3D printers out there... alcohol doesn't really clean this stuff off. I tried acetone and it doesn't help much either. I happen to have some CRL 1973 Glass Cleaner on hand and it tapes off this sticky glue very well.*****************I use this for 3D printing. It was recommended "The Purple One", and yes it works great! I use this directly on a glass build plate and it STICKS! This is true, since when you miss a spot, this area has a tendency to lift and curl.My heated build plate was damaged and had to get a pane of glass to continue printing (without heat). This glue turns white and (hard) waxy when heat is applied (from the hot filament) and is very difficult to get off. It is said to use alcohol to remove it, but perhaps acetone may work better.I'm sure it's great for kids to do their projects, since my 7yo walks by and says, "Did you buy those? Those are some HUGE glue sticks!", so I assume they use Chapstick-sized glue-sticks in school. The harder cured consistency is probably a good thing for kid projects.

These glue sticks are great for board projections as long as you don't overdo them.

they work, nothing else to say

Package says it's a 'set', but both boxes contain the same colors in each box.

Boxes were mashed, but great otherwise.

Would be perfect if it came with a sharpener

Box of fun

Good basic simple stuff that you can't go wrong with

They color like the crayons I used as a kid, and they break just as easily as when I was a kid

Couldn't say much...got it for a friend's son

maybe too large for my little six year old crafter

The item was promptly delivered as advertised

They are ok

kids loved them for school

broken crayons <:(((

Great deal

Crayolas are the best. These are great. This grouping however has a it of broken tops.

It dries too quickly to do anything with it. I was mounting papers on to card with it, but by the time you have all the corners and edges covered, its already started drying, and won't stick. When it did stick, and seemed to stick well, it would peel off 10 minutes later.

The package was open and held together by packing tape.

The smell is pretty strong and awful and it hits you as soon as you open the package. Seems like it's been stored for years with that smell. Crayons themselves are ok, although in most boxes (I ordered the 6 pack) there was at least one crayon with the label sliding off. That wouldn't be a big deal to me personally but I'm buying bulk school supplies as a part of my back to school supply drive to hand out to local low income students so I'm a little disappointed. I don't want to give them a product in this condition. Hopefully the smell dies down before I hand them out or I'll just have to purchase individually from the store.

crayola crayons are the best crayons but at target they are only 50 cents a box so you could get three at target for $1.50

sent back

too xpensive

Only received 1 pack of 3.

Packaging on the glue sticks was opened and damaged. Did not look new.

don't buy this. It's too expensive! not 3 pack just 3 sticks!

To big but everything else is fine

One box had broken and missing crayons. Not worth the savings.

Received crayons and 14 of them were broken!

The crayon box came damaged and opened. Both packs looked like they had been stepped on.

bad smell

too expensive, found same item in 99 cent store, could have saved my money

Was supposed to be a 3 pack, but only came with 2.
