Bostik Clag Paste Adhesive 150g Bottle

The Bostik Clag Paste Adhesive - 150g is a child-safe, easy-to-use glue that's perfect for a variety of creative classroom projects. This non-toxic adhesive is made from wheat starch dissolved in a water base, making it an ideal choice for early learners-safe even if accidentally ingested. Its smooth consistency and in-built brush applicator (recessed into the lid) make it easy for young children to handle, allowing for controlled and independent application during craft sessions.

This versatile paste is well suited for cut-and-paste activities, scrapbooking, papier-mâché, and collage, drying in approximately 10-20 minutes. When applied, the paste has a cool, wet feel, and may cause paper to warp or slightly alter colours due to its high water content. However, these same properties make it particularly effective for papier-mâché, where layering and bonding between papers is essential. The 150g size is great for individual or small group use, and is also available in larger 2kg and 5kg containers for bulk classroom supply. Made in Australia, Bostik Clag remains a trusted and safe adhesive solution for schools and childcare settings.
