Surebonder Dual-Temperature All-Purpose Hot Glue Sticks are clear 4" x 7/16" adhesives that work in low-, high-, and dual-temperature full-size glue guns for general crafting and repair.

Whether you’re stocking a workshop, running a classroom, or doing weekend DIYs, these bulk glue sticks deliver a reliable, fast-setting bond across a wide range of materials. Sold as a 5 lb box with approximately 225 sticks, this pack is sized to minimize reordering and keep projects moving. The clear formulation provides a discreet finish, and the sticks are compatible with most full-size hot glue guns so you can use them at your preferred temperature setting.

How do these glue sticks perform at different temperatures?

These sticks are formulated to melt and bond effectively at both low and high temperatures, so you can switch between settings without changing adhesive type. At lower heat they offer safer, gentler bonding for delicate materials; at higher heat they form stronger, quicker bonds for tougher substrates.

• Low-temp setting around 230°F for foam, fabric, and lightweight projects
• High-temp setting up to 380°F for wood, metal, and denser materials
• Clear finish minimizes visible residue across surfaces
• 60-second open time to reposition before full set

Which materials can I join with these sticks?

The formulation adheres to both porous and non-porous surfaces, making it suitable for a wide array of crafting and repair tasks. While excellent for common DIY materials, use appropriate surface prep for long-lasting results on slick plastics or oily metals.

• Works on wood, cardboard, paper, fabric, ribbon, and foam
