Hello. Is this glue safe for pet toys ?
(0) (0) Watch Unwatch
EarthHero –
Hi Sheryle! This is a great, lightweight craft glue. However, it is not made to be ingested and likely is not strong to hold fabric together for a pet to chew on a toy!

Lynn Mather –
I read this product not for items that will get wet/washed. Does this glue hold ceramics together if they will not get wet?
(0) (0) Watch Unwatch
EarthHero –
Hi Lynn! This glue is similar to everyday glue. You may have luck holding ceramics together if they are lightweight, but we wouldn’t recommend for heavy-duty repairs etc.

It has no chemical smell at all, i’m amazed! it works great too! interestingly i used it with some plant based glitter that i was warned tends to bleed when used with glue, there was no bleed! it worked perfectly, dried a shiny clear and held well, i definitely approve and plan to buy again when it runs low! ^.^

I’m very happy with this glue. I love that it is plant based, clear, and odorless. It does take a little while to dry, but works well. I have used it to glue photos to paper for baby books and my daughter has used it for arts and crafts without any complaints.

I am in love with this glue! While it does take a while to dry, once it does, there are no bumps in the paper and I have no fear of the pages not staying together! As I mentioned, it does take a while for the glue to dry but it’s definitely not too big of an issue. I love that it doesn’t have a chemical glue smell. Overall, a great purchase and I will definitely purchase again when I run out!

I love this glue. Regular glue has ‘that smell’ and always gave me a weird feeling when using it. I love that the ingredients in this are clearer (and cleaner) and I feel great using this for crafts at home with my kiddos and for scrapbooking! Love that it comes in glue stick form now, too!

Hi Amy- Great question! While this glue is corn-based and certainly cleaner than many glues on the market, it is not non-GMO corn. We are actively searching for organic options to add to our office category. Thank you for your interest in products like these!

Can this glue be used for book binding? I was told to get pva glue, but want a non toxic vegan product.
(0) (0) Watch Unwatch
EarthHero –
Hi Tami! This glue is certainly intended for arts and crafts, but we’ve never tried it with bookbinding! If you decide to give it a go, just make sure to allow it to set properly and maybe consider adding some sort of weight to encourage the pages to adhere to the spine. Let us know if you try it out! 😀
