Elmer's Disappearing Purple School Glue Sticks, Washable, 6 Grams, 6 Count - Poster, Vision Board, Back to School Supplies, #1 Teacher Brand

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.

I really like these glue sticks, they work well. I homeschool and we use them a lot. I'll be honest this price is just about the same as Wal-Mart but I'm a prime member and live 45 minutes from Wal-Mart so it was just easier to have them delivered in 2-3 days. If you've never used these, they aren't messy, there is no smell, they're easy to use, they're sticky without the mess like regular glue. And the kids aren't putting glue on their hands waiting for it to dry so they can peel it off, lol!

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!

Perfect size, great value for the money, exactly what I needed for my child’s school supplies list.

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:) This really is the best glue for kids for a number of reasons. -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 -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! -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. Now, 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!

One was completely shriveled up and dry. Don’t last very long but all things aside, they work just fine.

I remember using Elmer brand glue sticks back in elementary school, and still find myself using a stick every now and then. The purple color is nice, since it allows you to see where you applied the sticky and when it dries it disappears. I admit, this particular glue stick isn't the strongest, but it holds well enough on paper. As for dryness, I find these sticks to last quite a awhile before it dries out as opposed to the cheaper glue sticks you would typically find at a discount store. I personally find Avery brand glue sticks to be slightly better Avery Glue Stic, 0.26 oz, Pack of 6, (98095) because they are more sticky and hold stronger. Overall, for the price I got it for, which was on sale for $1 at the time, this item is a definite buy if needed.

I got these for my daughter’s school supplies and they arrived right on time before her first day and they look just as they show in the product images! Thanks

When I ordered them I didn’t get the disappearing purple it was the normal white one.

Llego rapido y en buenas condiciones, me encanta que al aplicar sea morado y despues desaparezca sin dejar ningun color, marca muy confiable y precio inmejorable aqui en Amazon. Muy recomendado.

What can you say, I wanted glue I got glue! The best part is the overnight shipping of Amazon and not having to go out to get it.

C est de la bonne colle
