Review on Arteza Clear Glue Sticks - 12-Pack (50 Ml Each) - Photo-Safe Adhesive Pen - Ideal For Crafts, Art, Scrapbooking, And DIY Projects - Office Supplies by Dave White

These are large volume glue sticks. Each stick measures 1” in diameter and 4.5” high, with an additional cap on the end. The labels say the sticks have 50 ml, but that seems like a low estimate to me. In any case, each stick has a lot of glue. The glue is clear and comes out of the tube fast. The applicator is a textured rectangle, about ¼ long, with a hole for glue to come out the middle. When using these glue sticks, don’t squeeze, or a big puddle of glue will come out all at once. There are no instructions or ingredients on the label or the box.I find this glue sticks pieces of paper together well, like the old-school brown paper glue we used back in elementary school, but it dries clear instead of yellow. For thin pieces of paper, this glue causes some dimpling, but it holds the paper fast. I also tried gluing a plastic bag to some shrink wrap with this glue. No go—it wouldn’t dry. In general, the glue takes several minutes to dry, so you may need to use clamps if you don’t want to sit and hold your pieces together. There are no instructions about how to clean up excess, or even how to open the sticks (you have to pull off the top and pull out a plug before first use). Overall, the glue works well for paper and crafting, but comes out very fast, so you need a gentle touch and some practice.
