The Elmer's Repositionable School Glue Stick uses a specific microsphere technology to create a "low-tack" bond. This allows you to place an item, like a photo or a piece of paper, and move it multiple times without tearing the surface underneath. It functions similarly to a sticky note, making it a helpful tool for teachers creating temporary displays or crafters planning out a complex scrapbook layout.
The formula is acid-free and pH-neutral, ensuring that it is safe for long-term archival use on photographs. The chassis is a standard polypropylene cylinder that is easy to grip. For the best temporary bond, it is recommended to let the adhesive set for about 30 seconds after application before moving the item. The glue is also washable and non-toxic, providing a safe option for use by children in a school setting.
It is important to understand that this adhesive is not designed for vertical loads or heavy materials; it works best on standard-weight paper and photos. Because the cap must be airtight to prevent the glue from drying out, users should ensure it is pushed on until it clicks. If left even slightly open, the product will dehydrate quickly and lose its repositionable properties.
For projects that require a more permanent, high-strength bond, the Extra Strength School Glue is a more appropriate choice.
Keeping these specialty glue sticks separated from your permanent ones is easier with a divided solution from our plastic drawer organizers.
