Noticeably Stronger than our clear glue sticks. This glue stick is not a very clear glue stick. A thin bead appears somewhat clear. A thick bead appears mostly cloudy to white in appearance. This stick was designed as a compromise between High Strength and Clear Glue Sticks. The bond strength falls about halfway between clear  and high strength glue sticks. Ideal for use on plastics, metal, shells, straw baskets, wreaths, wood, leather, and most craft projects.
