I am using these glue sticks while constructing N scale model train buildings from 1/4 foam board and computer generated siding roofing windows and doors. The scale is 1 inch equals 15 feet so the buildings are around 2 inches by 3 inches by 1.5 inches tall. This means the glue sticks are used with an exacto knife to apply the glue stick and applying to the tiny prints of the building materials. The blue glue gives me time to work and when it dries it is invisible on the materials if I over apply on the edges. I am pleased with its holding ability as well without curling.
I make Christmas cards to send to the military and these glue sticks are perfect for the project. They last quite a while and a little goes a long way. When you're attempting to do 10 000 cards you need a lot of glue!
