Overview

The Westcott So Cool! Glue Sticks (Model 17986) are a 30-pack refill designed exclusively for the Westcott So Cool! Glue Gun (Model 17874). Built around a low-temperature formulation, these sticks melt at a significantly lower heat than standard hot glue, which makes them a safer option for school classrooms, children's craft projects, and home use where burn risk is a concern. The 7mm diameter matches the industry-standard mini size, and each stick feeds smoothly through the compatible gun with minimal jamming or residue buildup.

Once the glue gun has heated for approximately one minute, the sticks dispense evenly and bond within about 20 seconds on materials such as paper, foam, fabric, and other common craft supplies. This quick set time strikes a balance between allowing repositioning and holding materials in place without extended clamping. While the low-temp adhesive is not intended for heavy-duty applications or non-porous surfaces, it handles the demands of typical school and home crafting projects reliably. The 30-stick count provides a generous supply that should last through numerous projects before a refill is needed.
