Full details

This guide is for crafters, artists, and DIY enthusiasts looking to add sparkle and dimension to their projects. The key benefit is the easy-to-use fine tip for precise application, allowing for intricate designs and embellishments. A potential caveat is that while versatile, extensive use on heavily textured surfaces might require multiple layers for full opacity.

They are acid-free, non-toxic, and non-setting.

FAQs

How long does Stickles Glitter Glue take to dry?

Drying time varies depending on the thickness of application and the surface. Typically, it takes about 15-30 minutes to dry to the touch, but full curing can take several hours.

Can Stickles Glitter Glue be used on fabric?

Yes, Stickles can be used on fabric for embellishments. For best results, apply to tightly woven fabrics and allow ample drying time. It is not typically recommended for machine washable items unless sealed with a fabric sealant.

Is Stickles Glitter Glue permanent?

Once dry, Stickles Glitter Glue creates a durable, permanent bond on most surfaces. It is acid-free and archival safe, designed for longevity in crafting projects.

How do I store my Stickles Glitter Glue?

Store your Stickles bottles upright in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Ensure the cap is tightly sealed after each use to prevent drying.

Can I mix Stickles colors?

While you cannot directly mix the glitter glue within the bottle, you can layer different colors or apply them side-by-side on your project to create custom effects and color combinations.

What is the difference between Stickles and other glitter glues?

Stickles are known for their fine-tip applicator, which allows for precise application, and their non-setting, acid-free formula. This makes them ideal for detailed work and archival quality projects.

Troubleshooting

Glue won't flow

Check if the tip is clogged. Gently clear any dried glue with a fine needle or pin. Ensure the cap was properly sealed after the last use.

Glitter clumps or is uneven

Apply steady, even pressure to the bottle. Shake the bottle gently before use to distribute glitter evenly. Avoid excessive pressure which can cause pooling.

Glue takes too long to dry

Ensure the application is not excessively thick. Apply in thinner layers if needed. Avoid disturbing the project until the glue is fully dry to the touch.

Tip is permanently blocked

Try soaking the tip in warm water for a few minutes. If still blocked, you may need to replace the bottle.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Stickles Glitter Glue is ready to use straight from the bottle. Ensure the fine tip is clear before first use; if any dried glue is present, gently clear it with a fine-point tool. Always recap the bottle tightly after each use to prevent the tip from drying out.

Compatibility: This glitter glue is compatible with a wide range of surfaces, including paper, cardstock, cardboard, acetate, vellum, and many craft mediums like paint and ink. It adheres well to most non-porous surfaces after proper drying time.

Care: To clean the tip, use a damp cloth or a fine-tip cleaning tool. If the tip becomes clogged, soak the nozzle in warm water and then gently clear it. Store bottles upright in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Avoid extreme temperatures which could affect the glue's consistency.
