There are many different types of craft glue on the market today. When creating a craft that requires glue, you want to make sure the glue you use is the correct glue for the project. Sometimes when the wrong craft glue is used, the craft project does not turn out right or does not stay together the way you had intended.

Tacky Glue is one of the most versatile types of glue. The original Tacky Glue dries clear and can be used for a variety of projects. This type of glue can be used on wood, ceramics, jewelry, paper, plastic, leather, suede, Styrofoam and many other surfaces. Tacky Glue can also be used for scrap-booking projects. This type of glue is not intended for use on clothes or other washable materials.
Wood glue is specifically formulated to work on different types of wood. This type of glue doesn’t dry fast, and it is usually best to use clamps to hold your project together until the glue dries. Wood glue can be used on paper and some other materials, but it is not highly recommended.
