Aleene's Original Tacky Glue - 8 oz

Aleene's Original Tacky Glue - 8 oz gives craft projects the strong, dependable hold they need with a thick, tacky formula that grabs materials on contact and dries clear and permanent across paper, wood, felt, foam, and many other creative surfaces.

A Craft-Room Classic With a Strong, Tacky Hold

Some projects need more holding power than ordinary lightweight craft glue. Aleene's Original Tacky Glue has a thick consistency that helps materials grab on contact, making it easier to position and secure pieces while assembling crafts, decorations, displays, models, and mixed-material projects.

Its versatile formula works especially well on paper, wood, felt, foam, metal, ceramics, and non-washable fabrics, giving schools and programs one dependable adhesive for many different types of projects. Instead of keeping a different basic craft glue for every material, activity leaders can reach for the same bottle across a wide range of craft sessions.

Once dry, the adhesive creates a strong, permanent bond and dries clear without yellowing over time. That makes it especially useful for projects where visible glue would distract from the finished design, from layered paper crafts and foam creations to embellished wooden projects and decorative keepsakes.

The 8 oz easy-squeeze bottle provides controlled application for everyday crafting, while the non-toxic formula makes it a practical choice for schools, after-school programs, camps, recreation centers, senior centers, craft rooms, and home projects.

Who This Tacky Glue Is Great For

• Schools: Keep one versatile adhesive ready for changing classroom projects. Use it for paper crafts, foam projects, felt activities, wooden crafts, displays, models, and mixed-material artwork that need a dependable hold

• Camps: Give busy craft sessions a stronger all-purpose adhesive. Counselors can use it for foam, felt, paper, wood, decorations, keepsakes, cabin projects, and mixed-material crafts throughout the summer
• Recreation Centers: Stock an adhesive that can handle a wide variety of workshops. Its versatility makes it useful when programs switch between paper crafts, decorative projects, wooden surfaces, foam pieces, and other materials
• Senior Centers: Use a thicker adhesive that offers more control during assembly. The tacky consistency helps materials grab as pieces are positioned for cards, decorations, keepsakes, and mixed-media activities

Tips for Getting a Strong, Clean Bond

• Apply a thin coat to paper, fabric, and other porous materials, then press the pieces together and allow them to dry
• Use a heavier application on wood, pottery, and semi-porous surfaces when the project needs additional holding power
• Wipe away excess adhesive with a damp cloth while the glue is still wet for cleaner edges
• Allow projects to dry completely before handling, stacking, displaying, or sending them home
