All Flash 49 Report post Posted November 8, 2011 So..... I know Easton has and sells a glue for sticks that , funny enough comes in little sticks. I also assume this mix of glue is specific for hockey and its environment.Now can anybody tell me what other glue sticks there are out there? Hopefully this will become the official glue stick/stick glue thread. BTW, couldnt find anything in the search. Any info would be appreciated. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

innotastic 12 Report post Posted November 8, 2011 i actually used a hot glue gun for a while for my two pieces cause it took less time to melt the glue. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mhkehoe 1 Report post Posted November 9, 2011 I have found that the Easton glue sticks melt a little faster than some of the glue from the craft stores, but that might just be the craft glue I have. Another brand might be the same. In either case, not really worth the cost since you can get a lifetime supply from the craft store for the same price.

Chadd 916 Report post Posted November 9, 2011 If you buy craft store glue, don't buy the thick (50 cent piece in diameter) sticks, get the really long thin (less than a dime in diameter) sticks. They heat more quickly and you waste less when you get to the point where it's burning your fingers to heat the glue. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
steelnation248 102 Report post Posted November 9, 2011 I've adapted a technique that I've seen used at a couple different pro shops:I had an extra wood plug that I set the glue stick on and melted it onto the end of the plug (I used the thick glue stick.) That way my fingers are spared and it gives me and opposite edge to clean off the excess glue that comes out after installing the blade or plug. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
215BroadStBullies610 435 Report post Posted November 3, 2017 Bringing back to life this thread here. I'm wondering if there is/are a certain brand(s) that work better than others? If I can just get normal store hot glue that would be nice so I don't have to pay extra for "hockey" glue. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
yrhmblnr8r 69 Report post Posted November 3, 2017 I’ve used regular craft glue sticks and they’ve worked fine. You don’t need anything special because of branding. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's sooo worth the money especially if you can find the right/left hand specific hockey glue. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
