Aleene's Original Tacky Glue 4oz

i use this to seal hair inside vinyl doll heads...also to place magnets inside the heads. its a good versatile glue that my son and I used for years in crafting. i feel like it is a bit thicker which isn't normally a bad thing. dries almost clear and easy to move something if needed quickly. does as it should just seems like a much longer dry time than bottles i purchased previously. still great product at a good price vs other brands

Arts %26 Crafts "Tacky" Glue by Aleene's Original

This is a specialty crafts glue that is wet and white when first applied, and is clear and strong when fully cured. Unlike most wet-white glues, this glue quickly becomes mildly rigid shortly after being applied. It is a favorite of crafts hobbyists, who apply the glue to two components which are to be joined in a precision relationship. The artist holds the two items together in the desired relationship and orientation, and waits patiently, with motionless fingers or tweezers, for approximately one minute. The artist is then able to carefully release the two items, which will maintain the desired relationship without further support. A much longer curing period is required for the glued joint to achieve maximum strength.I belong to a miniature crafts club in ... MoreThis is a specialty crafts glue that is wet and white when first applied, and is clear and strong when fully cured.

Bonds quickly, almost no waiting time before going to next step

I've been using this glue a lot lately to cover boxes with decorative paper. Every square millimeter of the paper has to be glued down securely, and my projects have a lot of steps. This glue spreads easily with a tool or with a fingertip but is not at all runny. It holds securely even before it dries, which means I can move on to the next part that needs gluing.One of the other reviews mentions the nozzle clogging with dried glue. If you just put the cap on immediately after applying the glue, this won't happen. There will probably be some buildup of glue after awhile but it doesn't stick to plastic all that well and can be picked off pretty easily with a pin or the point of a small scissores.

Glues Everything

Tacky glue has always worked for me in craft projects but lately it outdid Gorilla glue.I bought second-hand trainers for working in the garden. But the soles came loose. Cleaned them thoroughly and applied Gorilla glue. In a few days they came apart again. Scrapped off the used glue, cleaned, reapplied Gorilla glue. Another few days - same problem. Scrapped, cleaned, then...I used Tacky glue. No problems. I think Tacky is the one glue that glues everything.

Love

This is my go to glue, and always will be! I have tried so so so many types. And I always come back to Aileen’s. Glitter glue, barely arts, all of them just don’t seem to do as well as Aileens in my opinion. I’ve actually mixed both of those with the just to get rid of those! And those are not cheap! I do like to use smaller bottles, so I will sometimes water this down just a slight bit so that it runs through the needle a bit easier. I have been crafting for over 25 years, and not once has a project that I’ve used this glue on fallen apart. Even after 25 years! Thank you, Aileens, for making such a great affordable product!

Love this product

Aileenes tacky glue is the bestOver the past three years well actually four since January 2000 I have purchased hundreds of dollars worth of Eileen‘s tacky glue because I am a sculpture with papier-mâché. It is dependable. It is the best glue. I can always count on it and Wallmart always delivers. I love Walmart and I love Aileenes tacky glue .

Tacky glue thoughts

I have always loved Tacky glue and to this day it remains my main “Go to “ when it comes to needing a glue product in my art projects. I love that it dries rather quickly and BEST ever: it dries clear. I have expanded by repertoire by adding a healthy shot to my paper mache. The Tacky glue adds another sub layer of strength to the work, allowing for extra protection against harm to the piece. Win, win situation. I believe too that it helps prevent the formation of any mold infestations while the work is drying. Go forth and play with this great product.

The only choice for botanical crafting!

Aleene's Original Tacky Glue: I am a botanical artist and I make flowers with dozens of small pieces. Like putting a puzzle together. Aleene's works perfectly to attach the pieces. Unlike other liquid glue which is more moist and a bit slippery, Aleene's is more adhesive and helps the piece stick and stay immediately when placed, then dries clean. Then quickly move on to the next application. A must for delicate crafting! The bottle has a nice pointed tip opening for targeted application with a lift off replaceable lid for storage. The product comes in different sizes and formulas to accommodate your particular needs. I like the travel size Aleene's Original Tacky Glue because it's small and easy to use. (See photos below).

Totally Disappointed

This glue doesn't hold. It took nearly 48 hours to dry on a small project. I waited another day to see if my items were glued yet, it pulled right apart! I tried it again on another project glueing fabric to a picture frame. This didn't hold up either. I made two frames, one with mod podge and this glue. Mod podge held and also fixed the initial project. I was totally disappointed with this product! I've also used the other glue by this brand for sewing. It's supposed to be something you could use instead of sewing a seam for example. It does not work either! If you're thinking of trying this product, please save your money.

Works well for making watercolor boards

I use this glue to make watercolor boards out of my sketchbooks. It works really well and use it as a way to keep my paper from bowing too much while I paint. Only works well when you clamp the paper down as well as having a harder durable bottom to the sketchbook. Make sure you leave a little opening though for a palette knife to separate the paper once you're done painting. I would only use this one for white paper though because the glue is also white.
