Well, this school year I didn't realize how in demand and hard to find certain supplies would be. (Looking at you, gluesticks!) And on this school supply list were 12 GLUESTICKS. Are you kidding me?! What could a single 1st grader possibly need 12 glue sticks for?! Glueing an entire peer to the wall perhaps?? Setting an unconventional elephant trap? An option if you're still hungry at snack time? It's unbeknownst to me. Back in my day, we had 2 glue sticks, which lasted the whole year, and if you lost them, you were at the mercy of whoever sat next to you. But 12??!!? Yeesh. Well, it's not exactly easy to find 12 glue sticks 2 days before the school year begins. I was lucky to find one big glue stick and not get scolded *too* hard by the teacher. I assured her I would (but I won't) send the rest later in the year when the gluestick shelves no longer resemble the desolate toilet paper shelves circa March 2020. So when I saw these go on sale for Black Friday on Amazon, I ordered it with the intention of saving them for the 2022-2023 school year. 12 less things I'll have to hustle for 2 days before school starts! Live and learn, kids!"}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on December 3, 2021', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': "I'm doing scrapbooking. Glue dots are expensive, photo corners are too, and I do use them if I'm mounting something important like an original document. Glue dots are quick but Permanent! If I need to reposition something and I've used the glue Sticks, I can gently lift and reposition. I got them by the dozen, and even glue sticks that sat in a desk drawer for 6 mos are still good! Top quality!"}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on January 12, 2021', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': 'I finally used up a Sparco glue stick, .88 oz., after many years. I\'ve used it mostly for gluing computer-generated mailing labels onto packages to be mailed by USPS. These Elmer\'s Washable Disappearing Purple School Glue Sticks did the job for me. It\'s nice that the glue spreads purple but quickly turn transparent. The mailing label seems to have stuck onto the package very well. If the package gets caught in the rain during delivery, I wonder if the "Washable" attribute means the label could come off, but I don\'t know. I wish the package had indicated that the glue forms a permanent bond. At .21 oz. per stick, these are much smaller in weight and diameter of the Sparco glue stick, roughly one-quarter the size, so it took a bit more time to cover the surface. The writing on the sticks, such as "Made in China", is very difficult to read, being small black text on a dark blue background.'}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on March 11, 2021', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': "Goes on people so my toddler can see WHERE he's applying the glue and then dries clear. $5.60 is a great price for 12! I like this brand because they don't dry up just sitting in the craft box like the Dollar Tree brand does."}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on May 24, 2019', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': 'Great price but in this world of packaging waste an inch of glue stick in a 3 inch long plastic dispenser that could easily hold more is a crime! I use it for 3d printing and it seems to work well for a few types of Filament with fiberglass bed adhesion issues like ABS HIPS PETG. 12 sticks totals 12 inches of glue.'}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on March 22, 2021', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': 'Using this on my 3d printer bed on top of blue painters tape makes adhesion problems a thing of the past. As a matter of fact sometimes it it really hard to get off. I would rather have it hard to get off than to find my print being dragged around the bed after becoming loose and the plastic jamming in the print head'}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on October 22, 2021', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': 'I purposely bought this glue stick because it was recommended (in a class) to use when "tacking" small pieces of fabric together, prior to hand-sewing. I did not try using on paper, nor would I, as I have another brand that I think is superior for paper, but Elmer\'s washable glue stick was perfect for what I needed it for!'}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on August 17, 2016', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': "I ordered these glue sticks for back to school because they were on sale for $1 for 6 glue sticks. My kids are starting middle school and high school this year so thank goodness they don't need the mile long list of classroom supplies anymore but glue sticks always come in handy sop this way I have a nice little stash for those last minute projects. These are the kind that start purple and dry clear so you can better see how much glue you are putting where which is a feature I think is so smart. It really helps to limit the clumping and bubbling that happens when you get too much glue in one spot. There is not too much more I can say about glue sticks but I wanted to take a moment to write this review because I ordered a few other sweet deals on school supplies that were supposedly shipping from China or somewhere so the delivery was like a month and after waiting all that time they never arrived. But these actually got here. Yay! Pleasant surprise! So I wanted to say thanks! This was a good deal!"}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on August 23, 2016', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': "I don't know what sort of glitch Amazon was having to offer a six pack of glue sucks for 99 cents, but I bought 3 of them:)\n\nThis really is the best glue for kids for a number of reasons.\n-Generic glue sticks just do not have the adhesive power that elmers glue has. Trust me, I'm very cheap and I've tried all of them! LOL\n-when choosing between liquid glue and glue sticks for a children's project, most of the time choosing the glue stick is a no brainer. It's much less messy and dries much faster. Anyone who's ever been within a one mile radius of a kid knows that patience is not one of their strengths!\n-I love that when you apply glue from this stick, it has a purple hue to it. VERY smart Elmers! This way the kids can see where the glue was used so they won't use more than necessary. And when the glue dries, it dries clear so the color doesn't affect their final masterpiece.\n\nNow, Elmer's just needs to come up with a way to make the kids put the caps back on the glue stick when they're done using it, and I'll be one happy mama!"}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on June 22, 2020', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': 'Great value! My local store sells this pack for twice the price! I had a pack of the clear glue but my 4 year old likes the visual of the purple glue better. I agree with her, the purple allows her to see where she’s already put glue which saves glue, time, and a mess!'}]
