Martha Stewart Crafts Ball Point Glue Pen

I have used the product on several projects and love the way it works. It's very forgiving and, with care, results in a clear, permanent bond that doesn't wrinkle fine papers. It takes some practice getting used to the way the pen works. Sometimes I find myself forgetting how fast the glue can flow when the pen is brand new! I have found that gentle pressure on the ball tip while slowly increasing pressure on the pen body will give good results - just be patient and practice on a scrap to test flow. For layered cards, I use a weight to keep the layers evenly pressed for a short time to assure an even bond. This glue is a bit thin so pressure helps as long as you don't have so much glue that it seeps out. I've designed and produced over 600 cards using this glue. While it may not be the absolute strongest you can buy, it certainly holds well for most uses and it has little or no odor.

I was actually expecting the pen to have a finer tip, because I was going to glue some gold metal leaf to some very small details in my drawing, but the amount of glue that came out was too much for it... but it is very good for things like scrapbooking, making cards, paper craft and things of that nature. You often only need to apply a small dab or line of glue to get things to stick together.The glue is blue so it is easy to see where you have applied the glue and it dries clear.Sometimes, you have to scribble on a separate sheet of paper to get the glue going, and sometimes too much glue will come out, so I recommend practicing a bit to be able to control the flow to your liking.

I really like using this glue pen, particularly for very thin and small items which need to be adhered to paper when I am creating my hand made cards. It works very well when gluing those die cut word sentiments to cards or adding small jewel embellishments. I have found that if I dot on the glue with the tip along the item to be glued, that it works better than "dragging" in along the paper. I like this better than glue sticks or adhesive runners for the die cut items and embellishments. It also seems to go far. I have used it quite often and have not had it run out yet. I will definitely reorder when I need more. Would highly recommend ordering it.

I use this ball point glue pen in adhering delicate, intricate die cuts to my art projects. It is faithful every time. There is no skipping when applying a longer line. Most of the time, I apply dots in several places on the back of the die cut. I may blot it on another piece of paper before attaching the die cut, I am amazed that I can cap it, lay it down and a couple of days pick it up later, and it is just like new - always flowing smoothly. The value is in the application of tiny amounts of glue at a time. It seems rather expensive for glue, but it is in the application that the value lies.

There are many ways to deliver glue --- bottle, glue sticks, etc. However, most glue delivery systems put out a fair amount of glue and you end up getting it in the general area you want it versus EXACTLY where you want it.With this glue pen, you are able to put the glue exactly where you desire and in very small quantities if that is what you want. The pen also has a squishy part so it is very comfortable to hold for longer periods of use.As other reviewers have stated, the glue dries very quickly so you need to get moving when you apply the glue. The first time you use it, you might want to try it on something for practice first.

Love it!! Super clean, easy to use and to see when still wet. Dries very fast, and most important for scrapbookers, the paper remains flat and neat!The only thing that made me take off one star is the fact that when you try to use it for a very precise application, is pretty hard to get a fine line, as it needs to be pressed to flow, and the pencil is a bit rigid, so its hard to have full control.

I thought by the description that the pen would be more like a ball point pen. I didn't realize that it would require an lot of hand strength just to pump the glue while writing. And I thought it could put down glue on something other than paper flat on a flat surface. I was trying to put a thin line of glue on the outside of a paper bead. I just could not get it to work .I just saw the video on using all types of glues and adhesives and see that this pen being used for scrapbooking and that is probably the best use.

I make a lot of greeting cards ( https://www.etsy.com/shop/dawnsgreetingcards ). Overall, I like this glue pen because it's still working - LOL! Sometimes, I cannot get the pen to flow, so I have found that by using my heat gun, I can warm the end of the pen, push down on it and it starts flowing again. I don't know why the pen keeps "clogging" so it won't work unless I go to this effort, but since it still works, I'm rating it 5 stars. I've had other glue pens that stop working.

Absolutely loved this, was perfect for my craft project, especially as the roller ball is small enough to get glue on the slimmest bits without drenching the whole thing in glue.

Happy customer
