Default Best Glue Stick?

Does anyone have a glue stick brand that they are crazy about? I need it to make "senendipity" cards. These are collages that use small scraps of paper glued onto a large piece of cardstock to be cut into smaller squares. Normally, I would never use glue sticks but I think a runny type glue would be too messy. I have heard Tombow is great but I haven't been able to find it at my Michael's or Joann's.

I think a bunch of folks reviewed UHU (?) glue sticks recently and said they were good. I like my SU one when I use it. It really works well.

I personally love my SU gluesticks. I use all different adhesives for different reasons, but when I am sticking paper to paper I always use my SU gluestick. It is a nice wide base.

UHU is the best hands down! It has a low moisture content so it doesn't make your paper warp or buckle and it's really strong, most craft and office stores carry it and it's not expensive.

Uhu!!! They are the best. I use the pink ones. You can see where you put the glue and it dries clear.

I do not like the SU glue sticks. They do not work for me at all, even if I brayer the papers after applying the glue stick.

I think a card made with a glue stick needs to be left set arond for a few months to see if it really continues to adhere, I've used some to go to my card stash and found out the glue never held up. I usually use glue when I'm gicing the card out soon. Carolyn

I have a Scotch glue stick I like pretty well. I also like their Quick Dry Tacky Adhesive.

Never liked glue sticks until I found SU's...they are the best I've ever tried...silky smooth, holds great, no warping, don't need a lot.

UHU is my favorite, but the SU glue stick seems very good too.

I really like Ross glue sticks. They work really well. I usually use the white but the blue works too. The blue one will leave blue on white paper.
