Craft Tip: Restore a Dried up Glue Stick

A quick tip for restoring those old, dried up glue sticks you probably have laying around. Most quality glue sticks take overnight, while the cheaper ones may take a little longer.

Every tip on how to not throw things away is great :)

[@user-pt1cz4ot1e]

Thanks a lot, Rick! Love that you got to the point and didn’t demand anything of us. Perfect video. 🥰

[@unicornladytech]

last night I found this video... tried it and it worked exactly as you said it would. I was about to throw away 2 of them. Thank you so much for sharing.

[@samuallance1395]

Awesome! I just found a package of glue sticks purchased some time ago....yep, dried up. However, now I won't have to throw them away. Thanks for the tip!

[@graceeb]

Thank you so much for the info, Sir, brilliant idea! I don't need to throw my glue stick anymore.

[@jillianwarner7596]

That was great. I just found a case of old glue sticks that I was about to add to landfill and then I googled. Excellent!!👏👏

[@kazueonebreathpm9204]

Thank you for this information. I used to throw them away just as you stated!! This is great.

[@jessicaoverthinks]

Left the cap off of my spendy JUMBO Scotch gluestick, and I'm happy to say your tip saved it. Thanks!

[@manueljover8522]

Thank you for this info!! I don't need to throw away my glue sticks anymore hahaha

[@delisemarkel1069]

Outstanding tip! Thank you ~ I would now be wealthy but, I bought new glue sticks instead of reviving them! LOL

[@Treatyse]

Just what I am looking for. I was about to throw out yet another glue stick. Thank you.

[@Ak4invisible]

Thanks a lot...was searching for this...:)

[@kanna-san1016]

Saameeeee

[@mymenare]

Thanks a lot, Rick, I was about to throw one out and buy a new one.... will give it a try.

[@bondjane007]

Thanks I just was throwing mine out and then I thought well let me ask Siri if there’s a way I can restore your glue stick because I I restore my dried up pens felt tip pens with taking out the Tips and soaking them in water and then putting them back in And viola they work again!
Glad I looked at your video before I gave up on my glue stick although I had to retrieve it from the trash there was only a few things in there so it was OK to get it back out. So I thank you for letting me know that I just have to soak it in water till it comes back to life. I threw all the other ones away. I’ve learned my lesson thanks to you from now on if I find any more glue sticks lying around I’m going to do the same thing with them and bring them back to life.

[@childhooddreamer6975]

Thank you so much, I hate it when glue sticks dry up and get hard.

[@NV09]

Does this also work for brand new sticks that came stuck where the stick does not rise out as you twist upwards?

[@boofuzzie]

Thank you I will not throw them out anymore great tip

[@cimmoneschmahlschmahl8912]

I found one of my glue sticks, the day I got it, I just left it for a few months since I had another glue stick that I was using then. It recently went out and my glue stick I found is dried up and too soft
