Glue stick Elmer's DISAPPEARING PURPLE 22g

Elmer's DISAPPEARING PURPLE 22g glue stick applies a visible purple adhesive that dries clear, simplifying alignment and ensuring neat bonds for paper, cardboard and lightweight craft materials. The 22 g format is compact and handheld, intended for classroom, home and hobby use. The formulation is acid-free and non-toxic, reducing the risk of paper yellowing and making it suitable for projects involving children.

Advantages

The colour-changing formula shows where adhesive is applied and disappears as it dries, improving precision and reducing excess application. Its solid stick format offers controlled dispensing with minimal mess compared to liquid glues. The product's acid-free composition helps preserve paper quality over time, while non-toxic ingredients align with common safety expectations for school supplies.

How to use

Remove the cap and twist the base to expose a small portion of the glue stick. Apply evenly to one surface using gentle pressure; press the glued surface to the receiving material and hold briefly to secure the bond. For best results, apply to clean, dry surfaces and avoid over-application that can cause wrinkling. Replace the cap after use to prevent the stick from drying out.

Usage recommendations

Use for paper-to-paper or paper-to-cardboard bonds and avoid heavy or structural joins. For archival or long-term preservation of valuable documents, consider an archival-grade adhesive. Store upright in a cool, dry place and keep out of reach of very young children when not supervised.
