The first stick worked well for card making. When I opened the next stick when the first was empty it was dried out. I attempted to cut off the dried part but it was so sticky that I could not use it. I put it back in the package and took out the next stick. Again it was dried out on the top. This happened for the next 3 sticks. I gave up and took one of my purple glue sticks and used that. I will look at the other sticks when I have some time.
Only one glue stick came that wouldn't twist up to be used but all of the rest were fantastic! My 4-year-old Kindergartners found the glue sticks very easy to use.
