glue sticks

Solid school adhesives

Glue sticks are solid adhesive in a twist-up tube, applied by rubbing directly onto paper or lightweight materials.

The glue dries quickly and cleanly, making them standard supplies in classrooms and craft projects: The kids used glue sticks to paste photos in their scrapbooks.

Unlike liquid glue, they rarely cause messes or wrinkle paper.
