Great glue sticks from a trusted brand.
November 25, 2016
Great glue sticks from a trusted brand. Bulk pack is convenient and cheap.Works great in either high or low temperature glueguns. Drys clear.This listing is for "Standard", "Regular" or "Large" stick glueguns.Also know as:7/16 Inch diameter0.44 Inch diameter10.9 mm diameterNOT for "Mini" stick glueguns.
Top quality glue
September 21, 2016
Top quality glue sticks. I've already used almost the entire package, and don't have any complaints about them. I would buy longer ones next time so I don't have to reload as frequently, but I tend to go through glue pretty quickly so that's probably my fault. No odor, which is a good thing in my book. Sticks well to everything I've tried it on so far.
My preferred glue stick.
July 4, 2016
After using generic brand glue sticks purchased at the local store and then these, I would never go back to the generic brand. While I think my skill with and application style using the glue gun influences the quantity of glue webs, I have had far fewer webs than with the other sticks. Since I create ribbon art pieces and hair clips, this is intricate to a finished product with minimum crafting time. Since using these sticks, rarely do I need to pull out the blow dryer to dissolve glue webs off the finished product. I get a better finished product with less time investment. Improvement I would recommend: offer these in a 100-stick package, too, as I have only located the 50-stick. Great glue sticks with a permanent bond. I am purchasing again.
Great Glue Sticks for Great Price!
January 12, 2016
This glue stick pack was a lifesaver! I was given an old hot glue gun by my grandparents and I had no idea what glue sticks it needed. These were just the right size and have worked perfectly for me. The quality of the glue is fantastic and I love that so many glue sticks come in a bag. Very happy!
Excellent glue
November 29, 2015
Bought this glue pack because I was running low. Finally got to use it has a really strong hold. I was fixing my daughters train table and everything is made of bare wood or painted wood with a synthetic grass turf material. I glued trees down , houses, plastic rooftops, little wooden people, some loose tracks. The glue held extremely well. And I know that's what hot glue does. But I used glue that came with my Stanley gun and it would fall apart a few mins after I tugged on stuff and it wouldn't hold as well. But I was pulling on the stuff I glued down and it was holding firmly I was very surprised and pleased with the results.
Work great with my super hot glue gun!
June 19, 2013
For years I used the 'regular temp' glue guns, but now that I have a high temp glue gun I would never go back. As such, my review is based on using these glue sticks with a high temp glue gun.If you've ever used a glue gun, those little strings are the bane of your existence. You still get them with these glue sticks, but I'm fairly certain that just goes along with using a glue gun in general.These don't take forever to melt, but don't melt too fast either. Goldilocks would say they are just right. I agree.These aren't fancy, but they've held up just dandy to all of my upcycling projects thus far. I can be rather demanding when it comes to expecting things to hold together, and I have no complaints. However, you do need to know what to use hot glue for and what not to, or you might be disappointed.If you're looking for some sort of miracle glue stick, this isn't it. But if you're looking for a miracle from a glue stick, you might need to re-evaluate your religious preferences. :)Best of all, she-who-is-allergic-to-everything (that would be me) has had ZERO allergic reactions to them!

Are they easy to wash off hands and clothes
October 10, 2017
I’m not going to talk about the obvious with these Elmer’s All Purpose School Glue Sticks. Do they stick? Yes. Are they easy to wash off hands and clothes? Hands down. Non-toxic and acid-free? Of course. No, what truly sets these glue tubes above the rest in my humble opinion is that cute bull cartoon proudly displayed above such a respected name in the adhesive’s industry. I can’t get enough of Elmer the Bull. I’m not saying I’d want him as a pet, but if I did, Kansas City would be the place to keep him. Why? Because KC has the world’s largest concentration of animal health industry assets in segments spanning food safety, pet care, and animal science. I love Kansas City for that reason among many, and I know Elmer would too.
Great for attaching mailing labels!
August 26, 2017
This "bulk" quantity is perfect for someone like me who does a lot of shipping. I can print my labels on plain paper and use this adhesive to affix them to the respective packages. The purple color is quite useful to tell where the adhesive has and has not been applied. The price, I felt, was fair since I live in a rural area and trips to the store are inconvenient at best.
Teachers pet
August 13, 2017
We have a brand new kindergartener! So that means mountains of glue sticks will be sacrificed this year. This is the best deal I've found. I've bought 2 boxes so far and plan on more. I want to give them out instead of candy for class parties.Kindergarten never has enough so make a teacher happy and pick some up to donate. They shouldn't have to spend their own money and school funding probably isn't getting better any time soon.
Great glue
March 18, 2017
Saw these on sale and it was a great deal!!! Gave them to my kids teachers- off brand glue sticks don't always work well but these are great!!! My order came promptly in 2 days and I would definitely reccomend these over any other brand of glue stick- they work very well!!

September 27, 2016
This is a great deal on Elmer's glue and was a nice surprise for my grandson's teacher. I asked his teacher what something was that she could use for the classroom as an extra item to make things easier for her and better for the kiddos and her response was that they could always use glue sticks.There are 15 kids in his classroom so I figured this would last them for most of the school year and at that price you can't beat it. Way cheaper than purchasing in the stores in smaller packs.They are still in brand new condition and glide across the paper so they are not dried out at all. I am super happy about these and will be purchasing more as the teacher runs out. Easy way to give back to the classroom and make things better for the teacher and the students.
like how sticky notes are
September 27, 2016
Can one ever have too many glue stick? When you have 3 children with 2 of them in grade school and 1 of them wanting to glue something on everything every day then the answer is NO. I bought this Box of glue stick right before school let out to glue things to my daughter's student council posters. Since she was running for student council vice president she had to make some posters, some of the letters we had bought her had glue on them, but it was only at the top, like how sticky notes are, with the glue sticks we were able to glue the letters down completely. I love the glue sticks because they are less messy, my wish is that they made these in a narrow tip so you can write with them and put glitter on it.

They are clear & not the purple that turns clear, which is what I was expecting. However they are working as intended for English paper piecing. I tried the more expensive refills for the glue pens (Fons & Porter) & found these to be no different & much less expensive.

I always buy these for my son's school donation. I'm not sure about the quality of the glue sticks because I don't get to actually use them, but my son's teacher seems to like them. I did open one cap to see if the glue is dry, and it wasn't.
Its glue
August 6, 2016
I got these to donate to my child's teachers. These are just a 30 pack of elmers stick glue. I had no issues with them at all. I checked them all out. Nothing strange or abnormal. It is elmers glue so not much I can say about it. It was a good price for a 30 pack. I paid full price for this product and this is my honest and unbiased review.
Sticks good but promotes waste.
October 19, 2015
They are glue. They make stuff stick. Work great for gluing things into sixth grade interactive science notebooks. I do wish the formula was slightly firmer to promote conservation. Thirty sticks allow for approximately fifteen sixth grader applications. Last way longer if you closely monitor usage and give a mini lesson on the light-swipe-outline method.

Got to my house in 2 days thanks to prime. I am giving it a 3 star because of the size of the glue sticks. I was originally going to buy the mini sticks but ended up going with these ones (the standard ones). The standard ones are seriously mini size. Definitely not what I expected. Overall, the quality of the glue is good.
MELTS WAY TO FAST
April 23, 2013
These are good glue sticks for any project. The price was good but the glue sticks seemed to melt very quickly causing me to use more than normal. I would buy the long glue sticks next time or maybe another Brand.
i ordered the wrong one
March 3, 2013
i love that i have amazon prime and i get my stuff fast, but to send the stuff back it is ridiculous. The product was 9-. they want almost 6- to ship it back? I very rarely return anything but ordered the wrong size that is a disgrace I will eat this one. Love amazon, but return shipping costs are way too high!!

The glue didn't hold and most glue sticks had a limited amount of glue. I teach kindergarten and first graders so glue sticks that meet there standards are important.
I am saddened and wasted money on this
January 19, 2017
I use interactive notebooks in my classroom. We go through a lot of glue sticks. I bought this just before Christmas 2016. In a notebook check a week later, students papers were not sticking to the pages at all. I am saddened and wasted money on this! Believe me, the students used plenty of glue, but it just did not stick in the long term. Going to try the non-disappearing and see if that works better. Stay tuned!
Meh
November 12, 2016
These gluesticks are good for the money, I guess, but the glue doesn't hold well. It's not sticky going on, and it dries out without sticking things together
Dries too fast, doesn't stay stuck
October 6, 2016
Just ok. Dries so fast, the kids can barely get their papers together fast enough. Then, once they are together, papers pop off & won't stay stuck together. Takes A LOT of glue to get things glued properly. I have since purchased Elmer's Extra Strength glue sticks, which are much better.
Did anybody else have glue sticks stolen out of the package?
August 29, 2016
Price was fine and we needed MANY glue sticks for 1st grade. Well, the box arrived and this Elmer's glue stick box was not taped shut or anything. Sure enough when I opened the box, it looked like glue sticks were missing. Sure enough, 4 of them were.But I guess opportunity makes for thieves, and since the box was not taped shut, it is quite easy for some sticks to go missing somewhere between production and shipping...

December 23, 2015
This is for those who are looking for inexpensive glue sticks... these are short, fat sticks! I thought these were the skinny ones, but because they do not specify the size, I assumed they were the smaller, skinny ones since why would you make the thicker sized glue sticks so short?! They suck for the large glue gun because they melt really quickly and you go through them like water!And well, obviously, they just are not what I thought they were. Seller please note what size these are for future buyers!

For the 30 glue sticks I only received 27. The 27th stick did not have a top and was completely dried out. Very disappointed. Very hard to open the packageging because all the sticks were swirling around in the plastic.The crayons were loose in the box and several tips were broken. The bottom of the box has been "colored" from sliding around in shipping.

wrong product description
December 21, 2009
I was looking for regular size glue sticks to use for my craft projects and found what I thought were the regular size, but was sent mini glue sticks instead. I don't have a mini glue gun, so these didn't work. I live in Turkey and can't find glue sticks at a craft store like in the states, because they don't have them here, so I have to rely on shopping online and trust what I am buying is the correct product, because I can't just drive to the store to look at it. Was very disappointed and was not able to complete my projects, because I didn't have my glue to use.

What happened to Elmers glue sticks? They run out so quickly. Chunks of glue come off when you use them. My students only get one or two uses out of them. Not the quality I grew up with.
Very disappointed.
October 14, 2015
I bought this to use in my classroom. All my students have an interactive notebook, which requires a lot of cutting and gluing worksheets and foldables. I am not sure if i just so happened to receive a defective box, but the glue does not keep my students worksheets or foldables on the page. Students are always having to apply more glue to previously glued entries. Very disappointed.

Disappointed - product arrived with not all of the "60" glue sticks included. I actually counted because part of the box looked empty. I ordered 2 boxes of these glue sticks and each box was short.
