Bought these glue sticks for a school project my son and I were working on. They work great! Excellent for photo paper. No bleed through or uplifted edges and the sticks didn't dryout.
I use these glue sticks for scrapbooking. They hold the pictures in place very well but if I need to remove the photo (even a few years later) they peel off without leaving a mark on the page. My kids like to use them for crafts. The purple color helps them to see where they have put it and if it is still wet.
