Good Quality Glue Sticks for My Son’s School Year!
I ordered these Elmer’s Disappearing Purple School Glue Sticks Washable to send to my son’s school, as they were requested and recommended by his class teacher. These glue sticks are excellent, and the purple color makes it easy for kids to see where they’ve applied glue, and it dries clear, so there’s no mess. My son is in Pre-K, and this is his first time using them. We practiced at home before sending them to school, and I was so happy to see how quickly he learned to use them all by himself with just a little guidance.They’re perfect for kids of his age, making activities like sticking, crafts, and art projects so much easier and more fun. The glue goes smoothly, holds well, and is completely washable, so I don’t have to worry about accidental messes. The pack comes with 30 glue sticks, which is a great deal for the price. I’m confident this supply will last him for the entire school year, and I even kept a few at home for any art or craft projects he might do here.Overall, I’m really happy with this purchase as they are of high quality, easy for little hands to use, and worth every penny. I’d recommend these glue sticks to my friends and family who are shopping for reliable school supplies.

Exactly what the teacher wanted, and a great choice!
When I saw these on the classroom wish list, I was glad the teacher specified a brand. The students need them for various projects, and these are perfect for the job.The adhesive is just right—it holds up well for school use without being overly sticky. What I especially love is that they are washable, which is a huge bonus! I don’t have to worry about my son getting his hands messy with glue after a craft project. The price is also very reasonable for the quality and quantity you get.Overall, it’s a great product that meets the needs of the classroom perfectly. Highly recommend it!

3D Printer HACK!
I purchased this as a 3D printing hack, and it’s been an absolute game changer. The glue provides excellent adhesion for melted filament to the printer bed, ensuring my prints stay firmly in place for the entire job. I apply a thin layer around the circumference of the bed before each print, and it works flawlessly every time. Cleanup is quick and simple with just soap and water. If you’re looking for a reliable way to improve bed adhesion for 3D printing, I highly recommend this.

Crafters and teachers take note…
You cannot beat the price for this package of 30 glue sticks, and the quality is superb! I make paper collages and this glue really sticks with less mess than other adhesives I’ve tried. I like how it is purple and then dries clear so I can see where I might have missed a spot. Perfect for crafters and kids!

Color changing blue is great
Perfect for kids and adult craft projects. The color changes and doesn’t disrupt the paper but helps to know where the glue is. Dries quickly and Washes off easily from hands and clothes and furniture. Great value.

個々に包装されていないため、次第に劣化変色します。大量に購入するかたは保存方法に気をつけた方が良いと思います。

As expected great glue.

With the rate my children go through glue sticks, I had to find a better alternative. This is it. Great value and they should last for some time.

Wanted to buy this for my son’s preschool but the box came torn, completely not presentable without taping everything back together.
