USA Glue Sticks Full Size - 8 lb Box 7/16" x 10" (Approx. 145 Sticks) - Clear, High Strength, Quality Bond - Made in th

I got these at the same time as my first industrial hot melt glue gun, and they are everything you could ask for!Minor point, but there is some space in the box when you open it. For me, this was just perfect, as there was just enough space for my new glue gun to go in there, solving my problem of where to store the gun... Probably not intended, but very useful for me all the same.The adhesive melts easily in my glue gun  Hot Glue Gun, WEIO Full Size (Not Mini) 60/100W Dual Power Hot Melt Glue Heavy Duty High Temp Melt Glue Gun Kit with 15 Pcs Premium Glue Sticks for Arts, Craft Projects &Sealing Finger Cap  even on the lower power setting of 60W. I had no dripping from it, but I did have quite a bit of stringing with it - Don't just try to pull the gun away, "wipe" the nozzle on the thing you are gluing to reduce strings forming. I needed to fill some large areas and found that the glue melted almost instantaneously, so there was no delay waiting for it to melt as I pressed the trigger, it would melt as quickly as I could pull the trigger (on the 100W setting though).I had some problem getting into my box of glue sticks, as the tape would not come off. Then it struck me - The box they come in was taped up, not sealed with hot-melt adhesive. That made me smile, as I guess for carton sealing, tape is still quicker and cheaper...Hot-melt adhesive though does make boxes tamper-evident, as they will always show that they have been opened.The glue proved to retain it's heat for quite a good time, giving you time to reposition things if you are using it for crafts. I am not going to be buying any other brand from now on, this has already proved to be all that you could want from it.I know some reviewers say it does not adhere very well, but if you look at the reviews for all the other brands, they too have reviews that say the same thing. Hot melt adhesive is not perfect at sticking all things and so I suspect that these reviews might have been trying to glue some things that were not very well suited for hot melt - Or they were dirty, wet or dusty. All of these things will prevent any hot melt adhesive from adhering. I found that this adhesive sticks as well, or better than any other I've tried.

sticks well, melts fine. very very stringy tho as it takes longer then I'm use to for the glue to cool. good for people that need the glue to stay sticky longer because they are working with large areas and need time to tack the whole project together.

These sticks hold, I have used these on some tough jobs and they have amazed me on the longevity and strength this stick has, cannot beat the quality!

Works well and doesn't yellow quickly.

It seemed like before we purchased these we were running to Hobby Lobby weekly to get more sticks. Just avoiding countless trips saved me time, money, and increased production. If you use an abundance of glue sticks you will be glad you bought this item.

Great value and the glue seems to do the same job as the 'name brand' glue. I use it when shipping my metal artwork, inspiring4u2 - Why pay $6.99 for 8 sticks (at the hardware store) when you can have a jumbo amount that will last you a lifetime or two?

They are glue sticks. They aren't some kind of complicated product. They either work or they don't. These fit in my glue gun. They hold stuff together and with this big box I should never run out. Nuff said! HAHA!

My son uses a lot of hot glue so we bought this monster box. It really is a better price to buy it in bulk like this.
