ALEENES F GRAB TACKY GLUE4OZ.

Has become my go 2 glue. Holds securely, better than hot glue and dries faster than traditional tacky glue. Good value. Use it for all my crafts. Great size for the money.

This is my go to glue! It holds really well and doesn’t take forever to dry. Highly recommend

I bought this product quite a while ago, but didn't use it much until lately. I used it on some paper and cardstock, and also some felt. It seemed to work pretty well. Also, on the types of paper that I used, it didn't wrinkle much (it depends on what type and thickness of paper, I think). Seems to hold okay; not as fast as hot glue, but faster than regular tacky glue. Anyway, hot glue doesn't work well for everything, like paper and felt.

As an artist and general craft maker, I've tried my share of glues. This is the only one that grabs onto whatever I wish to adhere and it stays. I had to go back to regular store glues when I couldn't find this one and realized the quality difference immediately. Leave it to Amazon to have what I need. Update: Still my all-time favorite glue. Unfortunately the tackiness causes it to quickly become lodged in the lid, making it almost impossible to use as a squeeze out bottle after the first use. Was excited when they came out with the upside down, ready to use option. Unfortunately that didn't work as intended either, and the glue still refuses to come out. Regardless, it's amazing for what it does. I unscrew the cap and use q-tips to get the product out. It always grabs on to any item I wish to glue down, I just wish it was easier to apply.

Was looking for the right type of glue for attaching clump foliage to Woodland Scenics plastic tree armatures. In the past, I used hot glue, which works really well, but A) dries kind of *too* fast, B) can potentially burn your fingers and C) leaves hot glue strings all over the tree. Using Aleene's Fast Grab, I'm experiencing none of these issues. The only downside is that the drying time goes just a bit too far in the opposite direction. This stuff dries pretty slow, but since it's so thick, a sizable glob does have some decent holding power. So as long as the clump is sticking and holding and you can leave it be, you're good to go. However, unlike the hot glue, it's tricky to build up a full-looking tree in a single sitting. I find you have to work from top to bottom and glue pieces on in "safe" areas, so as to avoid knocking off previously applied sections as you make your way down. Once you can leave the armature alone and let it dry, you'll find it's just not quite "full" enough. So you'll inevitably have to go back in and add more clumps between branches, which is easier because you now have more anchoring points (the old clumps) for gluing the new foliage to. In the end, you'll end up with some real nice looking trees. If you want, you can sprinkle on some loose foliage to mess with the colors some, and then spray on some matte medium to seal it all together. Really glad I found this stuff.

Had to buy glue that held and dried like super glue for doing my miniatures. This is great for both of these things. Will buy again when I need it. Very durable and adhesive

I didn't know Aleene made a glue that could grab and hold almost as well as hot glue.! I have craft projects Id like to do with my young grandsons when they visit, but I don't want them getting burned fingers with hot glue. And using regular craft glue takes a good while to get it to hold. You have to clamp the 2 parts together and wait a good while for it to hold. Then go onto the next section and do it again.. Which isn't great when the kids will only be visiting for the day, or over night. If I do all the gluing then its not like they made it themselves, or had much participation in the project. When it arrived I tested it with some pieces of thin card board that I glued together making a little square box .Because we plan to make little carboard mini houses to decorate and light up with a tea light. I was surprised how fast the pieces stuck together so they could stand up. Really just have to hold it less then a minute after gluing. Not as fast as hot glue, but pretty close. And no glue strings or burned fingers. I've never been the greatest fan of hot glue as it can get dried out as time goes by and just let go. However I still have projects that require hot glue.. like making fake icicles hanging from the eaves of a mini house. Aleen's fast grab glue doesn't dry in a minute, but it will hold the item so it can stand up , so you can continue working.. It IS kind of hard to squeeze out of the bottle. It's thick .If you're going to be doing a lot of gluing you might want to squirt some into a little container with a lid and scoop some out with a paint brush. bamboo skewer, tooth pick etc, so your hands and wrists don't get tired, All in all, I'm pretty happy with it and ordered another bottle since the local craft store was out of it and I don't want to run out this winter.

This was my first time using this glue. I just today used it to glue wooden beads to a wood frame and then a bit of lace and pearls embellishments. It has a great grab and does dry fast. Excellent glue for us crafters!
