Interesting, I was out shopping for glue sticks today. They are a lot more off the shelf than $2.00/lb.

At the local Super Wally World they sell 24 high temperature sticks for $3.57 in the craft and fabric section. That works out to about $3 per pound. I'm ok with that for now but in looking around on the net I found some places that sell colored and even glow in the dark glue sticks at about $5 / pound. I know this sounds silly but I will be looking in to the colored sticks for making gluelits. Now hear me out. :???: A while back my son was messing around with those "airsoft" pistols and we set up a place to shoot in the basement. I played with it a lot and eventually got to where I could raise and fire , more or less, instinctivly and regularly hit a 1" square bell from 18-20 feet in about a half second. I believe one of the things that helped me was seeing the yellow airsoft ball streak to the target so I had an instant register as to where the shot went. I'm hoping to have the same sort of thing work with yellow or other brightly colored gluelits. If it works I will publish a book titled Zen and the art of gluelit shooting. :roll:

Yeah, seeing the aisoft pellets helped me with being able to shoot mine from the hip. learning that, if I watch carefuly I can almost do it with a .22....

I think the glow in the dark one could be fun! I'm thinking a pitch black night, lighted targets, and glow glulits! would look like star wars!
