UHU glue review!
I received my UHU glue samples a couple of weeks ago and am ready to post my experience. I had a chance to try it out on some ATCs and cards that I've been working on. You can see in the above picture the glues I received and also the other glue stick I usually use. I have to preface by saying that I was not entirely happy with the previous gluestick I was using. That's the brand that Staples sells and the price was reasonable. So I was very excited to try a new brand.
So far I really like the UHU gluesticks! The gluestick dries relatively fast on contact, which could work against you but once you know that, you work with it. So far it doesn't curl up the paper like the other gluestick I used. I would usually have to put my ATCs under something heavy to flatten them out. I didn't have to do that with this brand. I used the twist and glue to glue some acetate together and that worked well. It was sticky enough that the acetate didn't break apart from the other piece while still wet. I also used the twist and glue for some foam hearts onto paper and so far so good.
So yes, this is a positive review and I would totally recommend UHU. If you want to try some samples yourself, check out Maria's blog here.
In the next few days I will post the projects that I made using these glues. I made some Valentine ATCs for an online ATC swap group I belong to, a Valentine card for my honey and some Thank you cards to send to my friends that threw me that surprise baby shower.

Did you go on a craft spree while Yves was watching the Superbowl? Too bad your tv was booked-you could have been watching this (as a pair of my friends were up in NH):
