Elmers Disappearing Purple School Glue Sticks, Washable, Jumbo Size, 40 Grams, 3 Count

I use these glue sticks for the bed of my 3D printer. Purple glue stick works great for sticking the 3D prints to the glass bed. This product gets 5 stars because these larger sticks are HUGE and are a way better value than the small sticks. Unless you are doing precision work, I recommend these larger sticks.

*** Update *** For you 3D printers out there... alcohol doesnt really clean this stuff off. I tried acetone and it doesnt help much either. I happen to have some CRL 1973 Glass Cleaner on hand and it tapes off this sticky glue very well. ***************** I use this for 3D printing. It was recommended The Purple One, and yes it works great! I use this directly on a glass build plate and it STICKS! This is true, since when you miss a spot, this area has a tendency to lift and curl. My heated build plate was damaged and had to get a pane of glass to continue printing (without heat). This glue turns white and (hard) waxy when heat is applied (from the hot filament) and is very difficult to get off. It is said to use alcohol to remove it, but perhaps acetone may work better. Im sure its great for kids to do their projects, since my 7yo walks by and says, Did you buy those? Those are some HUGE glue sticks!, so I assume they use Chapstick-sized glue-sticks in school. The harder cured consistency is probably a good thing for kid projects.

Great Product

excellent

Having larger glue sticks is quite helpful. Wonderful product works as well as any other from this brand.

My go to product to use for my makeup looks, some of which require me to glue my eyebrows down so I can paint over them. Do this by using the stick and combing your brows up, let dry, then apply glue again, follow with setting powder and you have a smooth canvas to start on without your brows getting in the way. It doesn’t irritate my skin and is so easy to work with. Plus, you can use it around the house for other projects too!

Huge glue sticks

I use this for 3D printing on a glass bed/build-plate. Great results with polycarbonate, 20% carbon fiber PC & PC/ABS alloy on glass. Unlike with hairspray, Ive run the bed to 130 °C with no issues with adhesion or clean-up. On paper: Its very much like working with a thin film of classic glue-all but easier to apply to paper. This has very little initial tack, allowing you to slide the work for perfect positioning. Once dry its at least as strong as most papers. Drying time varies with paper-type and humidity but my experience is that after about a minute its pretty much permanent. Coated stocks may take a little longer depending on the permeability.

Great glue. Purchased it for my preschooler for school. Its huge and love that it has a purple color to tell where the glue is on what ever my preschooler is gluing. Sticks pretty good and dries fast.

My 4 year old can go through a stick of glue so quickly. These were great for the price and larger than the ones we normally buy.
