Coccoina Glue Stick – Rubber (0.05 kg, 20 g) White

My daughter's teacher asked for fifty glue sticks at the beginning of the year. These were the only ones I found that weren't made of planet-killing stuff and were made in a country with labor laws. In addition to being more eco friendly, the teacher and kids like to use them.

This glue stick came recommended to me by Kelly Kilmer, a mixed media artist based in the Los Angeles area. It's by far the best glue stick I've ever used for mixed media work. It's a pretty wet glue, though, and if you prefer really "dry gluing" this glue stick probably won't work for you. I love the almond smell, too.

The smell is a bonus. Great paper glue, easy to use on everything from card stock to rice paper!!! Dries smooth and clear. I am a card maker, mixed media and cigar box crafter. Sometimes I have warped heavy paper, watercolor or mix media paper and I will use score-tape to ensure that my card will arrive in once piece, however, when I use Coccoina glue in conjunction with my score-tape, I have a little bit of wiggle room to get the warped paper exactly where I want it on the card base. Can’t live with out this glue for very professional looking creations.

These glue sticks are awesome! Not only do they work as well as conventional glue sticks, but they also smell great and are a pleasure to use. Their almond fragrance brings a whole new definition to "sniffing glue".

Incollo con la Coccoina da non ricordo nemmeno quando. nessun'altra colla è mai riuscita neanche a eguagliarla. Il suo odore di mandorle mi rimanda immagini della mia infanzia quando la utilizzavo per incollare sul cartoncino le sagome dei soldatini che ritagliavo dal Corrierino dei Piccoli. Sono passati decenni ed è però un piacere che certe cosa cambiano soltanto nella confezione
