I DO NOT LIKE TO LICK AN ENVELOPE SO WHEN I WAS ABOUT TEN YEARS OLD MOM TOLD ME I SHOULD USE A GLUE STICK WELL IAM SEVENTY NOW AN USED EVER SINCE THESE STICKS LAST A LONG TIME
Glue worked ok; top of tube very hard to remove needed to use pliers & vice grip*; not a happy camper................. *All four were this hard to open!!!
I've tried many other glue sticks. They are all tacky enough so that whatever you're gluing together stays together long enough to dry. These don't. They are not tacky do not keep things together (unless you hold them while they dry or weight them down). They have the same temporary sticking power as regular white glue which is fine if that's what you want.
