Elmer's Disappearing Purple Glue Sticks School Adhesive 3 Pack

Reliable Adhesion for School and Craft Projects

Elmer's Disappearing Purple Glue Sticks are a household name, trusted for providing easy and reliable bonding for a variety of school projects and crafting activities. This pack of three glue sticks ensures you always have a dependable adhesive on hand. Each stick contains 7g (0.24 OZ) of high-quality glue, designed for smooth application and strong bonds on paper, cardboard, photos, and lightweight fabrics. Their compact size makes them perfect for pencil cases and craft kits, ready for any creative endeavor.

See Where You Glue: Purple to Clear Technology

One of the standout features of Elmer's Disappearing Purple Glue Sticks is their innovative color-changing formula. The glue goes on purple, allowing you to see exactly where you've applied it for precise coverage and no missed spots. As it dries, the purple color magically disappears, leaving a clear, clean bond that won't obscure your work. This feature is particularly helpful for children learning to glue and for detailed craft projects requiring accuracy.

Superior 3D Printing Bed Adhesion Solution

For 3D printing enthusiasts, Elmer's Disappearing Purple Glue Sticks offer a significant improvement in print bed adhesion. They are highly effective for materials like NYLON, ABS, ASA, and PETG, helping to prevent warping and ensure your prints stick firmly to the build plate during the printing process. A heated bed is mandatory for most of these materials, and this glue stick works in tandem to provide optimal first-layer adhesion, which is crucial for successful prints.

Simplified 3D Print Removal Process

Beyond strong adhesion, these glue sticks facilitate the easy removal of completed 3D prints. In many cases, once the print bed cools down, parts printed with the aid of Elmer's glue will pop off with minimal effort. For more stubborn prints, only a gentle nudge is typically required, reducing the risk of damaging your print or the build surface. This makes the post-printing process smoother and less frustrating for users of all skill levels.

Mess-Free and Precise Adhesive Application

Say goodbye to messy adhesive applications. Unlike hair sprays or liquid glues that can be difficult to control and create overspray, Elmer's Disappearing Purple Glue Sticks allow for targeted application. You can apply the glue precisely where it's needed, without any mess or waste. This precision is ideal for intricate 3D print bases and detailed craftwork, ensuring the adhesive only goes on the intended surfaces, keeping your workspace and projects clean.

Safe and Non-Toxic Formula

Safety is a key benefit of Elmer's Disappearing Purple Glue Sticks. They are non-toxic, acid-free, and photo-safe, making them suitable for use by children (older than 3 years due to small parts presenting a choking hazard) and in any environment, including classrooms and home workshops. Unlike alternatives such as hair sprays or acetone solutions, these glue sticks do not produce toxic fumes and are not combustible. This makes them perfectly safe to use on a heated print bed, providing peace of mind.

Prevent Damage to Glass 3D Print Surfaces

When 3D printing with materials like PETG, there's a risk of the print adhering too strongly to glass beds (regular or borosilicate), potentially causing damage to the glass upon removal. Elmer's Disappearing Purple Glue Sticks create a helpful barrier that prevents this permanent adhesion. By using these glue sticks, you can protect your valuable glass print surfaces from chipping or breaking, extending the life of your 3D printer components.

Simple to Apply and Effortless to Clean

Using Elmer's glue sticks is straightforward. For 3D printing, clean the print bed, then apply sparingly in a cross-hatch pattern to a cold bed. Optionally, use a damp cloth for even distribution. Heat the bed as recommended. For general use, apply as needed. Cleanup is equally simple; being water-soluble, the glue washes easily off hands, clothes, 3D printed objects, and print beds using regular tap water, leaving no sticky residue behind.
