Sakura Quickie Glue Set - 3 Pens - Ideal for Crafts and Scrapbooking - Easy to Use with Adjustable Adhesion

I've used Sakura Quickie Glue Pens for years and return to them over and over again. They're NOT for heavy gluing projects such as gluing the sole back on your shoe, and don't expect them to endure keeping a parcel wrapped up using it and going through the post. However, they're brilliant for crafting projects or many sorts. Attaching a paper insert into the inside of a card; Fixing a paper image or floral decoration to the front of a card; Gluing paper decorations of many sorts into a Journal; Fixing fake or real and dried leaves onto pages of a book or journal, or indeed a greetings card. The pens are really functional and so easy to use. My personal favourite is using these glue pens for adding a bit of gilding to something. The glue goes on BLUE, but WHEN DRY it become CLEAR and it's then that you can use gilding flakes to apply gold (pretend), silver, or any colour of metallic flakes to the glue. Before you do it on a project I would recommend you making a trial first by either writing, or drawing straight lines or stars, moon, glow to a candle etc, and wait for it to dry. It won't take long - 10 minutes or so, but once it's clear it's ready. If you feel part of your test trial before you add the gilding flakes, you'll feel the stickiness. If it makes your fingers sticky and stick together, you need to leave it a little longer. Once it's ready, apply the gold/silver etc flakes gently, with a soft brush. (I use some very cheap cosmetic brushes which I bought from Amazon a while ago), and softly brush over the gilded flakes to make the flakes stick to the glue. Leave it there for a couple of minutes then gently brush again to remove the excess flakes, leaving the shiny results for you to admire. After a while use a soft cotton cloth (I use old cut up Tshirts) to gently buff the gilding to a high shine. If you want that gilding to stay for ever and ever you'll need to use a varnish - see your gilding flake packet to see what they recommend. (HOWEVERE - I've been known to spray a little hair spray up into the air and then gently and slowly, manoeuvre your item with the flakes on, back and forth so that the falling mist of hairspray falls onto the item to seal it. DON'T OVER-SPRAY. otherwise you could dull the shiny flaked beautifulness).Summing up . . . I've used this product for donkeys years and have never had a problem with it, (unless you count the 3 times right at the start of the first time I used it, which was the result of my lack of patience and my over-excitement). I HIGHLY recommend this glue pen and although over time I've tried other glue pens, when I've been unable to get replacement pens, I can honestly say that nothing has bettered this brand of glue pen. It's easy to use (don't forget to take the cover off the nib the first time you use it) and it flows all by itself as you 'write' or scribble. It dries very quickly and it's easy to use. Oh ... store it flat when not in use rather than stood in a pot. It will keep longer that way.Sorry this is a long review but I'm hoping that this has been helpful to everyone.

I tried this today and it's perfect! So easy to control for small detailed work.I've bought other brands in the past but none match this.

These are worth the price and wonderful to use.

As described. Good price, arrived next day as stated, well packed. Excellent service and product. Recommend.

Brilliant product. So very useful for my card crafting. Only one thing - they don't last long! I have bought these a couple of times now and I am not at all disappointed. Easy and clean to use and dries quickly. The glue is quality too.

Have used this make for years and these are a must for any crafter as they get into all the tiny spaces and can be used wet or left to dry

Takes a little while for glue to come through but it has a lovely fine tip so is ideal for card making, especially when sticking intricate items. Very pleased with these glue pens.

Great Product! Could not craft without it!

Ces stylos colle sont super, pour les petites découpes, bien fermé après utilisation, la colle ne sèche pas.Très contente de mon achat.Je recommande

Ho scoperto questa colla per caso ed è diventata subito uno dei miei "attrezzi" indispensabili.Scrive come una penna a gel, solo che al posto dell'inchiostro c'è un sottile filo di colla. E' la colla più delicata che abbia trovato, ideale per incollature di piccolissimi particolari di carta, si asciuga in fretta senza lasciare segni o sbavature. Nonostante questo è piuttosto resistente, le parti restano ben incollate (provata solo sulla carta, non l'ho provata su altri materiali).

Producto perfecto… ocupa lo mismo que un bolígrafo siendo una barra de pegamento líquido. Para mí es un indispensable en manualidades o para cualquier otra tarea deArtesPlásticas

love these glue pens especially for glitter work

The glue isn’t super strong. It works, but it’s easy for heavier pieces (like fimo slices) to fall off when touched after the glue is dry
