Glue Sticks
A glue stick is a rod-shaped thermoplastic hot-melt adhesive that melts when heated in a glue gun and bonds as it solidifies on cooling. It is used to quickly bond materials such as cardboard, fabric, wood and plastic when securing cables and small parts, sealing packaging, and in decoration, model-making and hobby work. This category includes Cartell white and black glue sticks offered with 8-11 mm diameter information; the products are sold by the kilogram and quotes are given according to the kilogram quantity. Choose a glue stick by the diameter that fits the stick opening of your gun, the color that will be visible on the surface you are bonding, and the kilogram quantity you need. Before ordering, verify that the diameter given as 8-11 mm in the product name matches the size of your gun. Glue stick is not the cartridge-applied sealing silicone; despite the similar name, it does not replace it for joint filling and waterproofing work.
