MagiGlue™ is the environmentally friendly alternative to regular craft glue. It is as strong as white glue, has similar drying time and versitility of use on many different materials. MagiGlue™ is biodegradable and acid- and VOC-free.

Wheat paste, although a natural product, is messy, has a weak bond and has little versitility (best used on paper surfaces).

White Glue includes most tacky and craft glues. It bonds to a wide range of materials, but is petroleum-based and non-reversible.

Both rubber cement and hot glue are not recommened for children due to thier health risks. Rubber cement is highly toxic and contains VOC's, whereas hot glue presents danger of burning. Both come from non-renewable sources and dry quickly.

Animal glues are generally used for very specialized applications. Although they are biodegradable and reversible, they must be applied hot resulting in very little work time. They are also brittle when dry.
