FAQs

Why is the set time longer?

Artistick™ provides approximately a 45-second set time, giving you additional working time to position larger materials and align projects before the adhesive fully sets.

What materials work best with Artistick™?

Artistick™ bonds well to many common crafting and DIY materials including wood, paper, cardboard, fabric, foam, ribbon, leather, ceramics, floral materials, and most craft plastics.

Will these work in my full-size glue gun?

Yes. Artistick™ Full-Size Glue Sticks fit most standard full-size high-, low-, dual-, and multi-temperature glue guns.

What makes Artistick™ different from standard glue sticks?

Artistick™ is formulated to produce significantly less stringing while delivering a stronger bond, helping projects look cleaner and require less cleanup after gluing.
