| White | Interior | Soap & water | Use on paper, cloth or wood. Dries in several hours; moderately strong bond. Poor resistance to heat, water. | |
| Yellow | Interior | Soap & water | Use on paper, cloth or wood. Dries faster than white glue and has a slightly stronger bond. Moderate resistance to heat, water. | |
| Hot | Interior | Bonds plastics, paper, wood, glass and other materials; sets within 60 seconds. Generally low bonding strength depending on the type of glue stick used. Good moisture resistance. Enough heat will soften bond to point of failure. | ||
