I shared with coworker. She had 'never heard of such an item.' Now she wonders how she ever got along without it. She has one in her Office and I put one by our Mail Machine. I am going to take another to put in my Office. We LOVE them....others can lick those envelopes if they want to. NOT US!!!! I highly and I do mean highly recommend this product.
I purchased 4 packs for use in our library and at a nursing home where I volunteer. I took one pack to the nursing home to make Valentines and half of the glue sticks were all dried up. They were completely unusable. We managed to get a few working for them. Fortunately most of the things we had were peel and stick. I took all of them back (with my receipt) and got a refund on the cash I had paid and credit on 2 out of 3 where I had used Staples point money. They said that the third one was nonrefundable even though the product was faulty. For obvious reasons I will not be purchasing the Staples brand glue sticks again. I have always been pleased with Staples products but this one really missed the boat.
I love the glue sticks. I find them especially useful for gluing envelopes. I hate having to lick them. They are nice to have in each car and very handy to have in your purse. They are easy to use. I highly recommend them.
Very dissatisfied! I think the ingredients have been changed or something. I do a lot of scrapbooking and photo albums and so I use a LOT of glue sticks. I have always used the Staples brand because they are just as good as the higher-priced name brands; however this last purchase was very disappointing - the adhesive seems weaker than usual and does not bond well with the card stock and photo paper. After applying the glue to the photo and placing it on the cardstock I needed to place a phone book on top to make the picture adhere properly. I will try one more purchase of Staples brand glue sticks and hope I have better results.
