A glue stick is a type of adhesive commonly used for arts and crafts. It comes in a cylindrical tube and contains a solid glue that can be applied by twisting the bottom to expose the glue. Glue sticks are popular for their ease of use, as they allow for clean application without the mess of liquid glue. These adhesive sticks are often used in schools and homes for projects involving paper, cardboard, and other lightweight materials. They are favored for their quick-drying properties and the ability to be repositioned before setting, making them ideal for tasks involving children and crafting.
