These Glue Sticks are No Odor and Stick Like Glue Hah!

These glue sticks from Arteza are amazing! But first.When you get them out of the box, you need to unscrew the wide glue top to get to the plug that is in the pen. Pop that cap out and screw the wide pen top on and you are good to go.The first time I tried using the pen, I thought I would need to squeeze. Don't do that! The glue is free flowing and fairly thin so it doesn't need to be coaxed out of the bottle. It comes out in a smooth line that's not too much and not too little without pressure. I ended up with a puddle when I squeezed it. Oops!As you can see, it does flow nicely and there is no odor to this glue.Each of the pens is about the same size and the really large chalk markers. As you can see in the last picture, they are just a bit bigger around than a US nickel.The box that they came in keeps them together and neat until you need them.I would say it would be wise to keep them with the top up so that the glue doesn't leak into the cap possibly.I really like this glue and there are enough for a class, or as I am doing, have a couple at work, a couple in the house, one or two with scrapbooking and some in the She-Shed--because the She-Shed uses a lot of glue!What I really like about this glue is that it is clear and not messy since it is in this nice big pen. People with weak hands or arthritis will find this pen to be comfortable I think especially since you don't have to squeeze and it has a nice diameter for holding--Not so small or short.At just under $1.25 for each of these generous sized pens, these are a great value as well.These pens were made in China
