Elmer's Extra Strength Glue Sticks
[{'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on January 24, 2020', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-4 review-rating', 'review_body': 'My primary use is to glue USPS mailing labels printed out on copy paper onto their glossy Priority Mail envelopes. I ran out of the regular Elmer\'s glue stick so I thought I\'d try the extra strength, as with the regular I would glue, then use Scotch tape for added security to keep the label on. I find the Extra Strength to be extra strength, the labels stick more securely, I am tempted to not use tape, but for sense of mind I do add a little tape (less though) than before.. Noting some reviews said they couldn\'t stick paper-to-paper together well, so I glued two 3 x 5 cards (standard white) together with no problems, they were secure and tore apart when allowed to dry, and not peel apart. Maybe batch variability or drying time. I only allowed about 3 minutes to dry. Did not try gluing photos, as the container says photo safe.\n\nFWIW, the tube is 3-1/4" long X 5/8" diameter. The lid snaps shut, so is fairly secure. Easy to twist end of tube to extend the glue to apply. The glue itself in the tube seems to have a light blue faint blue, almost white, and applies pretty much colorless, but you can see a little "wetness" to where it is applied. The regular Elmer\'s stick I had previously went on purple, then became clear.\n\nOverall pleased, stronger than regular, works for my use.\n\nIf you found value in the extra experiments and info, please hit the helpful button, it provides motivation to do these experiments for this great community.

I was using liquid glue in the past, but wet glue tends to wrinkle paper and seep outside of the borders of my shipping labels. Wet glue is also messy to apply. I decided to try glue sticks, so I bought this product at a great price considering how many sticks are in the box. I'm never going back to liquid glue!\n\nI have tested these glue sticks for adhering paper to cardboard and plastic packaging, and it adheres perfectly. After about 20 minutes, I pulled up the corners to see if the paper would fall off easily, and it wouldn't budge. I pulled harder, and the paper ripped, taking some cardboard with it, because the adhesion was so strong! So the glue is definitely strong enough that I won't ever have to worry about a shipping label falling off.\n\nIf I ever run out of glue again, I will definitely repurchase these."}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on July 15, 2021', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': "Wow! I got my Elmer's extra strength glue stick today & I'm using it right now. This glue stick glides very smooth and easy. The adhesive is good. This was my first time trying Elmer's glue stick & it's great! I have the Elmer's white liquid glue and I've used it before, but who hasn't? Both types of glue works great on paper crafts, but the liquid glue works better on thicker paper than the glue stick. I was using the Uhu glue stick but Elmer's top that!"}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on February 27, 2018', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': "Best glue stick. Wish my middle school students would respect them more and not make them into glue balls and throw at each other. Oh wait, I'm asking for a unicorn-level miracle.\nThey are wonderful. They don't fall out from journals nearly as much as regular glue sticks."}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on May 23, 2017', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': "I have purchased this a few times when I get the deal notification from Money Saving Mom or other similar bloggers. It seems to be a good deal for a good amount of Elmer's glue sticks which are superb. We use them for paper and to hold fabric together while sewing. They do their job. I know people who struggle with glue sticks sticking, but I tend to be overzealous and coat every inch. There is less mess compared to regular glue and it dries without leaving bumps in the paper. These are great for scrapbooking and card making as well."}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on October 27, 2021', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': 'This product has worked so good for adhering my 3D prints to the bed.

I go thru these things almost like water & this is just what I needed to offset the 3-pack-constantly running to the store hassle. Adheres very well, too!"}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on June 29, 2021', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': 'Works great for temporarily securing two fabrics together.
