Show-me's premium glue sticks have been developed specifically for use in schools with a long-lasting PVP educational formula offering 3x longer shelf-life than those made from standard PVA. Offering a strong adhesion, it saves time in the classroom by removing the need to re-stick items. The glue stick is also designed to safely withstand rough handling from students with a durable, break-resistant winder for maximum durability day-to-day. This washable formula is non-toxic, acid and solvent-free, making it safe for use in classrooms, offices and environments such as nurseries and playgroups. The formula has been developed to have a particularly bad taste to deter young children from eating the glue. An easy-to-remove cap prevents frustration during arts and crafts.
