I use the glue stick for quick attachment of notes to file papers. Switched from a giant glue stick which always seemed to dry out before its time to the smaller ones which are more efficient as far as longevity goes.
As a pre k teacher I go through tons of these buying them with my own money. I buy whatever is on sale. The Staples brand it o.k. but Elmers seem to last much longer for the money.
The glue is pretty. Goes on purple and dries clear. It dries so fast that some times some corners of paper need to be reglued. And even when dry it some times leaves sticky spots although not so sticky that fingers can't seperate papers. It doesn't work too wwell with card board though. Rubber cement really works better on cardboard and paper.
Some stores have only those awful glue sticks for children that go on purple and say they dry clear. So happy to find Staple's brand that is transparent and works like it should. Excellent product!
I am so glad we found this! I have used Glue Sticks for years but this is a great improvement. Since it goes on in color I can see exactly where I have put it. Then it dries completely clear just like the original! Strongly Recommend
