For several years I have used Elmer's Craft Bond (a better quality white glue) and been ecstatically happy with it (OK, maybe pleasantly pleased). So when I needed to buy new, I saw Elmer's Quick-Drying Craft Bond glue. Wel,,, I've used Aleene's Qyick drying Tacky glue and liked it, so . . . . This was the worst glue I have ever tried. While I like the quick dry feature, the glue has a problem I find very annoying: it doesn't actually glue. Warm spit would work better. So, I'll be making another trip to WalMart to buy my old stand by after I try to pawn the white tripe off on my grandkids. Note to self: when trying a new product, only by ONE. Sigh.

Wow. The only Elmer's product I've used in quite a while is their Carpenter's wood glue. It seems to work as intended, so that one I'll stick with.
For papercrafts, I use Scotch's Paper Adhesive or Quick-Dry Tacky glue. The only real difference between them I can see is that one has purple on the bottle, the other is tan. I *think* the tacky version dries a little faster, though I'd need to use a stop watch to tell for sure. Both set up *extremely* fast.
I wish they were a little less expensive, but they're priced competitively with other brands.

I've always been partial to Aleene's Tacky Glue, but I also like to use Elmer's School Glue that I picked up at a dollar store. The School Glue is much thinner, so it can be painted thin in larger areas. And when I start working I'll squirt out a small glob of glue to set up. If you let it set up for a minute or two, it becomes as thick as Tacky Glue.

I use different glues for different applications. Aleene's Tacky Glue is an excellent product and works quite well, and it comes in clear now, very cool. I don't use Elmer's at all - they don't make it like they used to -nuf said. Instead I use Titebond II, it is a thick wood glue with lots of strength. You can thin with water if needed, or just let a little sit out for a bit for a really thick and tacky glue that grabs immediately and holds tight. Besides, it's only a couple of bucks per 16 oz (473 mL) bottle. Not bad for something so versatile. It's only drawback is that it dries yellow, so wipe up any drips quickly!
