Review on 🔗 Strong & Quick-Grab Aleene's 24964 Fast Tacky Glue, 8oz - Reliable Adhesive for Various Crafts by Barbara Simmons

Was looking for the right type of glue to attach clumpy foliage to Woodland Scenics plastic tree frames. I've used hot glue in the past, which works really well, but A) dries *too* quickly, B) can potentially burn your fingers, and C) leaves strands of hot glue all over the wood. With Aleene Fast Grab I have none of these problems. The only downside is that the drying time goes too far in the opposite direction. This material dries fairly slowly, but because it's so thick, the large ball has good holding power. As long as the clump sticks and holds and you can leave it alone, you're done. However, unlike hot glue, it's difficult to build a full tree in one sitting. I've found that you have to work from the top down and glue the pieces in 'safe' spots so you don't knock off the previously attached sections as you go down. Once you can leave the rebar alone and let it dry, you'll find that it just isn't "full" enough. So you inevitably have to go back and add more clumps between the branches, which is easier because you now have more anchor points (old clumps) to glue the new foliage on to. As a result, you get very beautiful trees. If you want you can sprinkle some loose foliage to mix the colors and then spray on some matte material to hold it all together. I'm very glad I found this stuff.
