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 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.

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.

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!

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.

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!

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. :)

good

Works

Good price on a large quantity of glue sticks.

Glue sticks. So many uses. Good deal for the big bag. I recommend

Well, crap. Got the wrong size. I MEANT to get mini glue sticks. Oh well, I needed another glue gun anyway. Now I'll have a big one and a little one!The glue sticks work as expected!

I'm sure the product as what it's meant to but the description could be better not what I wanted

*** 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

what can you say about glue sticks. the price was right

Inexpensive, but seems very stringy compared to the ones that came with my glue gun.

it's very good

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.

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 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!!

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

maybe too large for my little six year old crafter

Way too thick for a mini glue gun.

I didn't know glue sticks even came in such a width -- too thick for any of my glue guns. Will use in the glue pot I have.

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!

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.

Wish I could return, wrong size. They're for the BIG gun. Not the mini. My mistake.

TOO BIG

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.

Glue sticks said to be regular were in fact mini. Spent good money on a product that was useless to me.

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
