I bought (what I thought was) a nice pair of sneakers but the first time I washed them, they fell apart. I remembered using this glue in the 80s to make ugly Xmas sweaters so I ordered a bottle. I used chip clips and this glue to put my shoes back together.But then my shoes got dirty again. I tossed them in the washer and again, they fell apart. I got my bottle of tacky glue out and glued them back together, again.I've had to wash my shoes 4 times now and they fall apart every time, and every time I've been able to make them look brand new with this glue.It's hard to even think about getting a new pair of shoes because these shoes are EXTREMELY comfortable and they're the lightest shoes I've ever had. I know I need a new pair but for now, they're holding up fine until the next wash.

Tacky Glue is the best choice for model building and dries mostly clear. This was a good-sized bottle for a good price. I am very satisfied.

This is a great all purpose glue that grabs hold quickly. I have used this for many different crafty ideas at home and in my classroom over the years. It holds faster than Elmer's Glue type adhesives, so less frustration for kids (and adults). I recently used this to patch a 3 corner tear in my grandson's beloved, huge stuffed dog. It was on his face and there was no way to machine stitch it and with the narrowness of the loose piece, hand stitching wasn't a good option. I used this glue to glue the flap piece to another larger piece of fabric to get the piece to lay flat. Then I put glue on the edges of the fabric I glued the flap to and inserted it into the hole in the poor puppy's face. It held well and I put weights on it until morning. Puppy is good as new and my grandson is very happy. While I have used this glue on fabric and had it last well, I have never washed any of my projects, so I can't speak to washability.

Good, thick glue. I use this glue for making felt banners, and I find it to be the perfect consistency. It is thick enough that it stays where you put it, but not so thick that you wear yourself out trying to get it out of the package. I like that you can cut the tip to the size you need.

Excellent for model card kits such as Metcalfe models

This glue is a good all around & inexpensive glue that dries slowly, giving crafters time to reposition. However, it doesn’t dry flat unless you use something like a bone folder to smooth it down.I am admittedly heavy-handed with glue and have always used a different fabric glue for paper projects so it may be an unfair comparison. I love the price of this glue and it works fine, it’s just not my preference.

Excelente opción para realizar proyectos con papel u otros materiales. No es transparente pero como tiene una consistencia viscosa no humedece demasiado los papeles al aplicarlo. Recomiendo que al abrirlo dejes un orificio pequeño para mejor control. Además, al aplicarlo no se requieren grandes cantidades por lo que es muy rendidor.

I purchased this for my kids. Not sure if it's non-toxic and all that stuff. But it works well! Doesn't take too long to dry, and doesn't take forever to dry. I like it better than Elmer's glue, which sometimes just doesn't work so well. This flows nicely from the bottle, its the right thickness. I will be buying more!

This -seems- to be nothing more than a very thick white glue product, but appearances can be deceiving. On its first use, I actually found it performed better than ordinary white glue (such as "Elmers"). It is thicker (hence the 'Tacky' in the name), and letting it set up for a few seconds after application increases the tack (and holding power) even more. As a test, I used my new Aileene's Original Tacky Glue to stick a 1/2 inch thick, rectangular piece (approximately 1 1/2 - 2 inches wide) of packing styrofoam onto a 3mm thick × 30mm circular wooden base for wargaming miniatures. I applied a bit of Aileene's directly to the base using the tip (which the user cuts to size, leaving a small, medium or large opening for fairly precise, more generous, or really generous application of adhesive), and spread it around the whole surface, squeezing out a bit more when necessary (I cut mine to the smallest, precise applicator size) to achieve a thin coverage overall. I applied a bit to the styrofoam at the same time, and let the glue set up on both for around 30 seconds. I then stuck them together, made sure of the positioning of the styrofoam (which still could be moved around easily), set the entire assembly down, put a small bottle of paint on top of the styrofoam to wiegh it down, and left everything alone for a minute or so. When I picked it up again, it was pretty secure: I didn't try to reposition either piece, but I was able to handle the assembly cautiously without anything sliding around. I then turned it upside down, and using the circular base as a guide, carved the styrofoam (now on the bottom) into the same shape with my X-acto and a fresh blade. Having done exactly this particular join -many- times in the past, I was surprised to be able to do this so quickly -- attempting to carve that small chunk of styro into shape so soon after gluing with regular white glue wouldn't have been possible. In fact, not only did I carve around the piece to match the edges of the base -- afterwards I even was able to carve up the top into sloping sides and tiny hills. This was excellent performance that just wouldn't have been possible with regular white glue, or even super glue -- the white would have required many hours of curing time, and a cyanoacrylate product would've dissolved the styrofoam entirely. I then applied another layer of glue to the entire surface, stuck a few tiny pieces of slate, representing stones, into the wet glue here and there, and covered everything else with a 'turf' product (from Bachmann) to represent soil. Now, finally I can set everything aside to dry completely before painting or attempting anything more. Great! Normally, after gluing something (styrofoam, cork, or another product) to the top of the base (or bases, more often) with Elmer's or some other carpenters or white glue, I would set it (or them) aside until much later, or even better, the next day, before attempting any carving, or working with extra products to add shape, texture, foliage and more to the base, before finally attaching a completed mini. What a wonderful time saver, and a splendid introduction to a product I'll be using regularly from now on. Aileene's Original Tacky Glue. Great product. Update: I used a small funnel to transfer glue from the original 8oz container to a smaller container (around 1oz), easier to move around and use in precise, close-up work. When cleaning up afterward, I discovered just how powerful an adhesive Aileene's really is. It took at least 2 or 3 minutes for all the glue in the funnel to drain, which initially I chalked up only to the increased tack of the product. While rinsing the stainless steel funnel however, the glue didn't simply rinse away, as PVA (white glue) would have. Under running water, I scrubbed at the residue judiciously with my fingers, yet the final, thinnest residue already was pretty firmly adhered to the stainless steel. Strong glue! I added a little soap into the process, but still couldn't immediately get it off with my fingers alone. I added more soap to the funnel, a bit to a cup of water, plopped the funnel into that and agitated it a bit, and decided to just let it soak for awhile. I came back to it after about 15 minutes or so, and now was able to clean up the last visible residue by scrubbing, now with my fingers alone, under a strong rinse. I also (the next day) know now that not only is this stuff as strong as an ox (compared to PVA, although there really IS no comparing it to a normal PVA in this regard), it also dries much the same as a 'normal' white glue, clear and without damaging (no crazing particularly) the things around it. I haven't tried it specifically, but I believe this glue would be just about the perfect adhesive for attaching clear plastic canopies (or windshields) to already painted model aircraft (or automobiles). Ultimately, the conclusion still is the same, only magnified considerably: Aileene's Original Tacky Glue. GREAT product.
