Gorilla Hot Glue Sticks, Clear Glue, Full Size 4" Long x 0.43" Diameter, 45 Count (Pack of 1) - Safe for All Temperatures with Extended Working Time

Gorilla Hot Glue Sticks are my new best friend. They stick to everything like they’ve got a personal vendetta against falling apart. Whether I’m crafting, fixing stuff, or just trying to hold something together in a pinch, these glue sticks work like magic. They heat up quickly and bond fast, and once they’re set, it’s like whatever you glued is never coming off (unless you want it to). The only downside? They’re really sticky, so be careful about getting it on your fingers or anything else—trust me, it’ll be there for life. But overall? Totally worth it. Would glue my life together again.

I use these with an old, 60w glue gun once used for flooring. I specifically use these for wrapping gifts in brown craft paper, and for this purpose the glue works very well. It has a decent working time, on account of its melting temperature, I'd say 15s, and is viscous enough to be easy to work with. You can use a heat gun or even a hot iron to smooth out the glue under the paper, if you want to ensure there are no bumps.I've used it to bind glass and wood, and there it works pretty well too, better than you would expect, though I wouldn't necessarily say it is a permanent bond in the case of glass.The value is good - one bag lasts me three years or so. Are these better than any other glue sticks? That I do not know. However, they do work perfectly well for their intended purpose, so I see no reason not to recommend them.

So, I saw this lady reviewing the Gorilla Hot Glue Sticks on YouTube, whew chile, she was just bashing the product. I bought for that reason ONLY. C'mon now its GLUE!!! depending on a project it may or may not work.Well, I can tell you I bought 3 bags of the 45 count, (yeah I really needed that many) I had a big project with various media pieces that consisted of wood, metal, paper, foam and felt. Ya'll, it worked flawlessly it bonded everything solidly rock hard. I had one media's piece alignment (yeah crooked as it could get) I had to get a flat head screw driver and a hammer to break loose the adhesion. I tested it with another glue stick brand on the same project but only making 4 items. The Gorilla Hot Glue Sticks are still adhered. The other brand, well I don't know what you call it, but the temperature in my arts and craft room would fluctuate with furnace temp set to 60 and natural air outside (this has not been a normal 2020 season of temps outside with cold days and snow in April for example) when the temp dropped the heat would turn on. I found the non Gorilla Hot Glue Sticks adhesion no longer bonded to the media pieces. I say all this to say, check the packaging for the workable temperatures for your project medias allowing for the -/+ margin of error as to its adhesion hold. It was odd I would think ALL hot glues would do the same thing that's not the case so check with the vendor of the product.Well I just applied the Gorilla Hot Glue Sticks over the other brand and as of this review the adhesion is still bonded to the project media. So, overall I like Gorilla Hot Glue Sticks and have stocked up on it (right here can I make that scratched needle to record sound, ha haaaa I used up but 1/2 bag of my stock pile. Dog-gonit!!! Just went and check yeah 1/2 of bag left; AMAZON here I come another for another order of Gorilla Hot Glue Sticks because it works for me.Oh and I forgot to mention I have tested with and am using the following glue guns in the following order: #1 Ad-TechPro 200 corded; #2 Lowes: Arrow single temp cordless, #3 Arrow single temp corded; #? Surebonder cordless (sorry trying to figure this one out the "2 minute glue time off the charging cradle" not really liking that nor the leaking while on its base (they said it didn't do this), the squeeze trigger while using, fatigued my hand, I was literally squeezing it so hard to make hot glue come out my hand was shaking ya'll know that was too much, what in the world is that about. I can barely press the trigger on my Arrow cordless and the glue just flows and I don't have to return it to the charger in 2 minutes I get a good leisurely 30 minutes. So, I think with Surebonder it has to be the "user" <------ME I have to practice with it more because that first experience was from it coming right out of it's packaging (last night 5/24/20) letting it per its instructions heat up for 5 minutes.I'm telling ya'll it felt like I was gonna snap that little trigger part right off that is how hard I was trying make it dispense the hot glue. Again, my Arrow, works great allowing 30 minute use time, I just wished like my others and the Surebonder that it came with that.43 bigger glue stick barrel. It only came with the small one and it gets so hot that I find myself going through the mini sticks like water. (note to self ---->> if that Surebonder don't work I will invest in more mini Gorilla Hot Glue Sticks for my Arrow that worked flawlessly<<). Ok, that's it for this review, I hope the information is helpful. Thanks for reading.

Great glue!! First time I used it I was very impressed by how strong it was. If you want it to stick and stay buy this glue. It is going to be my go-to glue!

I've never had a problem with hot glue from Gorilla. The adhesive melts, flows well, and sticks when cooled. The bond is very strong when the glue is used on suitable materials. The bond lasts and has never failed on the projects I use it for. These glue sticks are a good value for the price.

These are good glue sticks!! Just make sure you use them and get them as hot as your gun can get them..that's the trick to make them a good glue stick that can almost work like a weld!! They stick and stay strong if use right!! Sure there are much better ones out there but I do not sell items that I need that for!! Gorrilla is a good brand!!

This gets the job done.

Love gorilla glue products. My go too hot glue for sure. Especially if your using it on items that will be outside.Doesn't melt like all the do, ruining your project. Or at least it hasn't yet.Though I do tend to cuss alot when I'm using it because it definitely gets hotter than the others and I have yet not to burn myself and it always blisters. But that's my carelessness. I stand in my opinion its Best hot glue I have found.
