So how many did you buy?! Or are you ashamed to admit the true number?

I stocked up when the back to school supplies went on sale in August.

whats crazy is one large stick, dissolved in 12 oz of water or so may last me 6 months... i havent reapplied yet, and its still sitting there waiting to be used i have like 5-6 sticks in reserve i dont think ill ever get through them

I couldn't get the watered down glue to get thick enough to stick as well as straight glue. Would you care to share your specific technique? With pictures of the surface when coated appropriately?

Thanks!

I think he's implying that this is his own collection of glue sticks. He bought out the entire store!

i dissolved 1 large purple glue stick in about 10 oz of water or so.. its about the consistency of runny pancake batter.
Ive been concerned about it too, yet stuff keeps sticking... i did the entire bottom of the T-rex jaw which has a lot of overhang, and it stayed put... im a FAN.
the glass just looks clear when you are done.. if its a little thick in one spot you may get some cloudy looking streaks.

haha, yea I do the water glue stick trick as-well. Mine is a little more watery than yours. I run half of a 40g jumbo stick in 1.5 cups of water and about 2 ounces of rubbing alcohol. I only print in PLA and I'm able to stick to pure glass at 80C on the bed. With a thin coat of water-glue, I run the bed at 65C and the nozzle temp at 220C.

They come in JUMBO size?!?!?

I bought a 6 pack of the 6gram tubes. I didn't know they came in any other size...


Now I have Glue Stick Envy

I also did not know that. I bought a 60 pack of 7 oz tubes from amazon. Oh well, I'll be set for the next year or so!
