Stanley 1-GS20DT Dual Temp Glue Stick, 12mm x 101mm, Pack of 24 (Packaging may vary)

Great glue sticks very strong

Simple to use. They work as advertised, unlike the cheap ones I had before these

The glue sticks were bought for using in my brand-new Stanley Heavy Duty Glue Gun. These were the recommended glue sticks and have not disappointed and do the job properly and stick incredibly well. Having said that, I managed to get a box of 100 unbranded glue sticks for another model (Bostik) for a remarkably cheap price. These were also very good and caused no problems with compatibility or with the gun. If I need more glue sticks I'll probably be looking at some that are cheaper per unit as 24 glue sticks won't last long and may prove quite costly with the amount of projects I have lined up!

Good Glue

Bought for crafting and general things around the house. The two heat choices are invaluable as some things will melt with the highest heat setting. I made some artificial wreaths using a polystyrene wreath and it melted with the heat on high. The lower heat setting was perfect. Once the glue has set it is secure. The stand isn't perfect so I rest the glue gun on a heatproof craft mat. A metal baking tray would work too, use the underneath side so you can still cook on the proper side and make sure you've cleaned all the glue off. You need to push the glue sticks in quite firmly and it's helpful to have something to break the wispy bits of glue you get with all glue guns. A cocktail stick is perfect, but don't let it touch the glue gun as it will obviously stick. Finally BE CAREFUL! The glue is VERY hot and takes a while to cool, so keep your fingers well out the way. I'd have liked a longer cable, but an extension lead means I can craft away from a plug socket. But, a great item and perfect for so many projects. I don't know what I'd without it. Mine are clear glue sticks, so the reference to multicoloured is a bit confusing.

Bought these in conjunction with the Stanley Heavy-Duty Glue Gun and I absolutely can't fault them. The sticks melt incredibly well in the gun and provide a good thick adhesive that works with loads of different types of material. The glue doesn't have any discernible odour which is a bonus. The glue holds extremely well and haven't had any failures in anything I've used it for yet. I've also found that the glue is easy to clear up and any excess can be easily removed. I will definitely be buying more of these when I run out

They get hot and sticky and glue things together what more could you ask from a glue stick they work well in the gun and are good value for money I'm guessing they are made by Stanley so therefore they will work well in a Stanley gun

We wanted to stick plastic to plastic and these didn’t do the job. Will keep it in case something else comes up but was surprised they were so poor at adhesing.
