How Glue Sticks Work:
Glue sticks use a solid, wax-based adhesive that becomes slightly tacky when applied. By twisting the base of the stick, the adhesive rises to the top, allowing users to glide it across the surface. Once applied, the adhesive begins to dry quickly, forming a clear, permanent or semi-permanent bond depending on the formula. This makes glue sticks ideal for fast, clean adhesion without the need for liquid glues or specialist tools.
