Classroom Pack of 12 Glue Sticks

This pack contains twelve Elmer's E1559 disappearing purple glue sticks, each weighing 6 grams. They are designed for students, teachers, and crafters who need a reliable adhesive for paper, cardboard, foam board, and display board. The non-toxic, acid-free formula makes them safe for school environments and photo projects. The purple tint helps users see exactly where glue has been applied before it dries clear.

Check Project Requirements Before Buying

Verify that your materials are compatible with a washable, water-based stick adhesive. These sticks bond well to porous surfaces like paper and cardboard but are not intended for plastics, metals, fabrics, or outdoor applications. Ensure the 1.55 inch by 4.35 inch package dimensions fit your storage space or supply cabinet. The disappearing colour feature works best on light-coloured surfaces where the purple tint is visible during application.

Washable Formula Minimises Clean-Up Effort

The water-soluble adhesive cleans from skin, clothing, and work surfaces with soap and water, reducing mess during classroom or home use. Because the glue goes on purple and dries clear, users can apply the right amount without guesswork, preventing excess residue. The solid stick format eliminates liquid spills and drying time associated with bottled glue. Acid-free composition protects photographs and artwork from yellowing over time.

Questions about this item

Does the 12-count pack of E1559 glue sticks include any applicators or backing boards, or are those sold separately?

The pack contains twelve 6-gram sticks only; applicators, foam board, display board and other craft surfaces are sold separately.

How should I decide between the 12-count E1559 and a smaller or larger pack for classroom use?

Choose the 12-count when you need a bulk supply for multiple students or ongoing projects; smaller packs suit occasional home use, while larger counts reduce restocking frequency.

What does the "goes on purple, dries clear" claim mean when the glue is actually applied to paper or cardboard?

The adhesive appears purple while wet so you can see coverage, then becomes invisible once dry, leaving a clear bond on paper, cardboard, foam board or display board.
