A glue stick is a type of adhesive in solid form, typically encased in a twistable plastic tube. It’s a convenient and mess-free way to apply adhesive for various crafting, school, office, and household projects. Here are some key features and uses of glue sticks:
- Composition: Glue sticks are made of a combination of synthetic polymers, waxes, and other additives. The ingredients are solid at room temperature but become tacky and adhesive when applied to a surface under pressure.
- Application: To use a glue stick, you twist the base of the tube to extend the solid adhesive stick. Then, you apply the glue directly onto the surface you want to bond. Glue sticks are commonly used for paper, cardboard, photos, lightweight fabrics, and other porous materials. They provide a clean and precise application without dripping or running.
- Drying Time: Glue sticks typically dry relatively quickly, within a few minutes of application. The bond created by glue sticks is usually permanent for paper and cardboard but may be less durable for other materials.
