Crafts Unleashed

I love adhesives…is that weird to say?  But really, I do!  As a crafter who ventures into all areas of crafting, I constantly find myself needing varying types of adhesives, and I am always on the look-out for better quality and easier-to-use adhesives.  I just recently got to use the Glue Arts Glue Glider Pro for the first time, and I have to say – it was love at first use!  So let me tell you some of the things I love about it…

First off, it’s ergonomically great for me.  I happen to have extremely weak hand and finger muscles due to neuropathy, so I often struggle with adhesives that are smaller, require lots of squeezing, or are otherwise clumsy to hold…but the Glue Glider Pro is nice and big, and fits easily in my entire hand.  It doesn’t require a lot of strength to apply the adhesive, either.  Just press down with a bit of pressure, and pull – and it leaves a nice line of adhesive.

Also, the cartridges are very easy to remove and replace – another bonus!  I hate struggling to replace cartridges or switch them out when I want to change to a different adhesive type.

To remove cartridge, simply pull straight out - no buttons to push, very easy!

To replace cartridge, simply push straight in - SIMPLE!

The cartridge you see here is the Perma-Tac cartridge.  It is 1/4″ wide, and lays down permanent adhesive rectangles every 1/8″.  I tried the Perma-Tac cartridge out on some basic paper-crafting, and was very happy with it’s sticking power.  I found a little bit to go a long way, and loved that I didn’t need to lay down a full strip of adhesive to stick a full strip of paper – I was able to lift the applicator and lay down bits here and there, and the paper still stuck very well.

All in all, I think the Glue Glider Pro gives great bang for your buck – you can get it for just $11.97 from Consumer Crafts, and that includes the 40-foot Perma-Tac cartridge!

What about you?  Have you tried the Glue Glider Pro?  What do you think about it?  I’d love to hear!
