The glues sticks were needed for my daughter's project. She had to glue pictures on a poster board. The glue didn't stick well and I had to go buy her Elmers glue sticks instead. They worked better.
This product looked like it was dried up when I first opened it. Had to use so much pressure to apply that it broke in the tube. A day later the paper I used the glue stick on fell off the base paper. I will stick to the name brands.
