Celebrate over 75 years of crafts with Aleene’s Original Tacky Glue! In 1950, Aleene Jackson broke barriers within the craft industry as she developed a specialty crafting adhesive, now known as “Aleene’s Original Tacky Glue.” She chose the iconic gold bottle that is still used today to reflect the premium quality of its contents: the gold standard of adhesives. Tacky Glue works on just about every surface: its thick, nontoxic tacky formula grabs items on contact and dries super strong, permanent, and clear, making it great for crafts, hobbies, DIYs, and household repairs. Features 1 (4 fl. oz.) bottle of Aleene’s Original Tacky Glue.
Always test for best results.
Dry time will depend on how much glue was used and the temperature and humidity level in your area. A general dry time estimate for this glue is 37-47 minutes based on testing with a 3-millimeter coating at 70-73 degrees Fahrenheit. Thicker applications will dry at a slower rate.

"Finally! I LOVE this new bottle. I have always loved and bought Aleene’s glues but I will be honest, the clogged tip was very frustrating. I would put a nail in it, and that worked most of the time, but what a mess! This new bottle is a game changer! I have had it a few months now, have used it many times and even store it lying down in a drawer!!! Always flows freely every single time! No more clogged tips! No idea how or why this works, just thrilled it does!!! Please make as an option for your other bottles!!! Good job Aleenes!!!!"
