I've purchased these glue sticks probably a dozen times in my short 24 years on this earth. They are the only brand of glue sticks I use. And as an avid glue-stick user, that means a lot. I've tried other brands. Occasionally dabbled in the 'cheaper imported hot glue sticks'. They don't compare- don't buy them. These sticks are hands down the best- and this is coming from a girl who literally makes her living making crafts with glue sticks. I know my hot glue better than the manufacturers probably do.
I have two mini hot glue guns- one that's a high temp and one at a medium temp. Both work equally as efficiently with this glue. It easily melts in any hot glue gun and does not require a super high temp to get very liquidy. I like my glue 'liquid'- as the more liquidy it is the better it seems to stick. This glue gets pretty soft. Yet- it hardens almost instantly. It's dried in a matter of 15 to 20 seconds. It has a bit of an opaque color to it- it's not clear. I've noticed that the "clear" glues I've used from other brands have a very toxic smell to them and also don't stick nearly as well. This glue just sticks- and that's what I need it to do.
It's worked well for a variety of purposes. I've used it on wood, fabric, bone, feathers, hemp- even beetle wings. It always sticks. The only things I find it won't efficiently hold are glass, porcelain, and very smooth plastics. For some reason it can't get a good grip on these items- and for those particular materials I'd recommend a 'super glue' type product.
This pack comes with 100. I go through them relatively quickly (this will last me about a month). For most hobby crafters this pack will easily last you a year. They're always well-packaged, uniform in size, and high quality. I've never had a 'dud'. I've never had one that was oddly shaped or too short or long. I've never had any that had a bad smell to them or didn't melt or stick well. They've all been perfect. And I've used THOUSANDS of these glue sticks in my lifetime. I love them. I'll be back for more. The price is fantastic and the glue itself- well it's the best you'll find.
