tacky glue

Sticky bonding agent

Tacky glue is a thick, fast-drying craft adhesive that grips quickly and holds firmly.

The name refers to its consistency—it becomes tacky (sticky to the touch) faster than regular white glue, making it easier to position pieces without extended holding time.

Popular for paper crafts, fabric, and lightweight materials: I used tacky glue to attach the sequins.
