Aleene's Turbo Tacky White Glue 4 fl oz, Dries Fast, Premium All-Purpose Adhesive, Dries Clear

I used to think 'tacky glue is tacky glue,' and it makes no difference which one you pick. It took this brand to correct my misconception about tacky glue because this glue spreads better, dries faster, and hold better than the cheaper brands. It was worth the money, and it wasn't too much more than the cheaper kind.

This glue is awesome! It will stick within a few seconds, enough that you can let go of the item you are gluing. It does dry quickly, but I found it fully dries hours later so I often glue things and let sit overnight before I paint the item. But if you want to stick stuff together quickly as you are working, this is the glue for you. I am making a treehouse/dollhouse and I shared one photo with the glue holding up the wall shelf in the kitchen. You can see the white glue---it dries clear. It does take a full night to dry clear in some cases. It can dry cloudy, too, maybe if you put too much in a spot, so I try not to have it visible in most areas. Oh, since it does stick fast, I don't suggest using for dollhouse wallpaper or anything you need to place neatly because I tried that and I couldn't place the wallpaper fast enough and it was messed up. I ended up using a different glue for the wallpaper. But in the photo, I used the tacky glue to attach the wall shelf, as well as the wood strips on the chimney piece. The dollhouse is made out of paper mache so it did stick very well. I also used the tacky glue to stick down the rug in the second photo and the table and chairs.
