Pritt Stick - the only glue stick worth buying!

Advantages: sticks well, quality, widely available,
Disadvantages: price

...After being shocked by the price of Pritt Stick in the shops, I tried out cheaper brands such as WH Smith, Tesco and Asda. All of them failed miserably! I'm a photography student and do alot of cutting and sticking pictures into a sketchbook, and none of the cheap brands managed to stick properly. Every time I turned a page the cuttings would fall or peel straight off, no matter how much glue you used. So I went back to Pritt Stick, and it really is worth the little bit extra. It actually STICKS things and they don't peel or fall off. It's proper glue. It doesn't wrinkle up the page like other brands, things stick flat with no creasing. It's also safe to use which is a bonus.. no dodgy ingredients! Because it's better quality, you use less of it, and save money in the long run! NOTE: I also think the price changes by alot depending...

Review of Pritt Glue Stick

Glue fit for a queen...

Advantages: Can be used for just about everything
Disadvantages: Dangerous if used while drunk

...in the long-run. When I got home, I applied a thin layer to the sole and it stuck within seconds. You do need to concentrate, however, otherwise your fingers will be stuck together forever, and will drive you ga-ga. The shoes were as good as new, and couldn't break free - it was almost a kind of magic, and I've used it to fix other things too. Try not to inhale it, though - too much glue will kill you. It can be used for everything in the days of our lives - not bad, for a crazy little thing called glue....

Review of Loctite Super Glue All Plastics

Sticky yet safe. (Pritt Stick)

Advantages: Quick to apply and dry.
Disadvantages: None really, although I don't use it much anymore.

...Another item from my stationary box that warrants a review is the humble Pritt Stick. It was invented in 1968 and by 1971 was sold in over thirty six different countries. "Pritt" being the brand of the glue stick is still a market leader although many other brands of glue stick are now available. The particular stick I have is the 20g one which is relatively small, approx seven centimetres in height. The glue is housed in a predominantly white plastic container with a white easy to twist off cap. The brand name "Pritt" is clearly labelled and two messages are boasted on the tube: "Quick, easy, clean & washable" and "Safe & solvent free". The back of the tube states the quantity and gives advice on uses, a recommendation to replace the cap after use and that the product is not suitable for children less than thirty six months as...

Review of Pritt Glue Stick

Stuck On You!

Advantages: quick, clean and easy to use
Disadvantages: none

...Pritt Stick from Henkel The Pritt Stick has to be the best loved glue for paper and office type needs. it has been around for ages and i can totally see why. It is widely avalible and at a really good price. The large tubes come in at around £1 but you can get the smallest ones for around 40pence. This price is a real bargain as they seem to last for ages. I have a 10 gram tube which has been sitting on my desk at home for a good while and serving its purpose well. You do have to be careful however to put the lid back on properly as these Pritt Sticks have a tendancy to dry up and become useless if they are left out with the air getting to them. On the tube of Pritt Stick it claims that the glue itself is quick, easy, clean and washable. All these claims are indeed true and this is perhaps why it is a bestseller. It is...

Review of Pritt Glue Stick

Glue

Advantages: A good glue for kids, non toxic
Disadvantages: not strong enough for other uses other than kids craft work.

...Prit Stick, what a wonderful creation! If you’re a parent of a small child or a teacher with a classroom full of small children you will know that children and glue don't mix very well, well, they do mix together in the way of sticking limbs together! Prit stick is a great invention for children to use. It its very safe for even the smallest child. The label does have a warning that the glue isn’t suitable for children under 36 months as the cap could easily be put into the mouth. This glue is sticky for use on paper and card, but it isn't sticky enough for children to stick their fingers together or even worse, sticking their wonderful artwork to the table. Prit Stick is available to buy practically anywhere nowadays from the post offices to the art stores to Woolworth's. The price depends...

Review of Pritt Stick

Stick with me

Advantages: sticks things together
Disadvantages: BE CAREFULL IT MIGHT STICK TO YOU

...Setfast super glue 5 Did a little repair, rejuvenating job this morning, I have a very old blanket box inherited from a great, great uncle Sleepy dormouse used it as a toy box when she was a child. Now she has a baby I have been revamping it for putting toys in when they visit .I noticed there was a point of a screw coming through where the hinge is fixed. What did I do? I found a plastic bottle top put some super glue on the rim and placed it over the scratchy end of the screw. I did this an hour ago it is now very firmly fixed without a lot of effort it has made the toy box now safe for Adrian. But Warning Superglue is as it says super glue sticks things together rapidly and when they are stuck difficult to unstuck. While I was doing this I was very careful but……………… I did get...

Review of Super Glue

Strange Glue

Advantages: Lyrics you can keep listening to and thinking about
Disadvantages: not easy to sing along with.

...listened to. Its not one of the better tracks because its far too easy to ignore. "Don't need the sunshine." I like this one a lot. Lively tune, and fascinating lyrics mostly talking about sunlight and seasons, but with suggestion of an emotional content. "Strange Glue." another short and very intense piece., into which it is possible to read all sorts of things. Better to listen to the words and find your own sense in it rather than listening to what I have to say. "My selfish gene" - a song about being betrayed by someone who you thought cared. Filled with venom and sung with real feeling. Mostly just voice and piano, this is a very moody piece, you can imagine it being sung in some smokey club - it has something of an old jazz club sound, and it stands out musically as being particularly excellent. I think what I like most about...

Review of International Velvet - Catatonia

Glitter - The way to a girls heart

Advantages: Good fun, easy to use, decorative
Disadvantages: choking hazard

... Crayola Glitter Glue I had the misfortune the other day to accidentally dye all my girlfriends underwear pink! She hates pink! WIth a passion! Needless to say she was not best pleased. I did try to hide it by just hanging it all up to dry and hoping she wouldn't notice, but alas, she did. Oh boy she noticed. So I felt that I needed to make up for my terrible (and indeed stupid) mistake. I racked my brains for a nice way of apologising, and decided I would make her a card to say sorry (soppy I am). Off I trundled to the shop to try and find some suitable supplies that would help me make her a lovely card. I picked up some plain white card, and then noticed these Crayola glitter glue sticks and thought that they might be just the special touch I needed to really get the message across how sorry I was. Popped them...

Review of Crayola 9 Pack Glitter Glue

Not solid beech, full of glue!

Advantages: Adjustable, baby can sit at table
Disadvantages: Very expensive for plywood, gives off fumes when new, would prefer the option of a tray

...I bought this chair after spending ages trying to find a chair with a non toxic varnish as I suffer from chemical sensitivities and have to be very cautious as far as my baby is concerned too. As well as all the arguments for posture etc, what eventually won me over was the claim that the varnish is formaldehyde free. When I opened the box, I was immediately struck by a very strong smell of solvent, and was very disappointed to discover that while the frame is made of solid wood, the seat, footrest and back of the chair are all made of compressed wood / plywood. The varnish may be formaldehyde free, but the plywood is quite clearly full of pretty nasty glue/solvent, if the headache that I got from it is anything to go by! I have now learnt to read between the lines when the literature speaks of 'made from beech', which is obviously not...

Review of Stokke Tripp Trapp Chair

Yarn and Glue: Joanna Newsom

Advantages: She yodels, plays a damn fine piece of harp, but isn't actually a weirdo
Disadvantages: She yodels, she plays a damn fine piece of harp?

...Yarn and Glue: Joanna Newsom Every year when the music awards are given out, there is always one artist who you've never heard of; someone who has garnered critical acclaim, but yet hasn't broken into the popular subconscious. Joanna Newsom is a fine example of this brand of artist. With the release of her second album proper 'Ys' (pronounced "ees") in 2006, her name quickly became tossed around in musical circles as being someone it was clever to like. She made her way into several 'best of' lists for the year, and has been nominated for several major awards, all without her music getting a single piece of airplay, so it seemed. How come such a loved artist has never managed to make it onto the radio? In Newsom's case, there is a simple answer: she's a harpist. Born in the 1980's within the confusingly named Nevada City...
