FAQs

Is this glue safe for young children?

Yes, Classmaster glue sticks are non-toxic, acid-free, and solvent-free, making them safe for children to use under supervision.

How long does the glue stick last?

The PVP educational formula provides a shelf-life up to three times longer than standard PVA glue sticks when stored properly with the cap on.

Can I use this on fabric or plastic?

These glue sticks are best suited for paper and cardstock. Adhesion on fabric or plastic may not be permanent or strong.

How do I clean up dried glue?

Dried glue can typically be peeled off surfaces. For washable residue, use a damp cloth or mild soap and water.

What is the weight of the glue in each stick?

Each glue stick contains 40g of adhesive.

Does the glue dry clear?

Yes, the glue dries clear, ensuring your artwork remains neat.

Troubleshooting

Glue stick appears dry or difficult to apply.

Ensure the cap was securely replaced after the last use. Twist the base to expose fresh glue. If the glue has fully dried, a new stick may be needed.

Poor adhesion on paper.

Ensure surfaces are clean and dry. Apply an even layer of glue to one surface. Press the pieces together firmly for several seconds.

Excessive wrinkling on thin paper.

Apply a thinner, more even layer of glue. Avoid saturating the paper. Consider using less pressure when applying.
