My Stickles are Stuck

[OakvilleMom]

Okay, so at first I thought it was me, but now I'm beginning to think it could be the product. This is the second time I've bought a new stickles and all that will come out is clear glue, the sparkles aren't coming out at all.

Has anyone else had trouble with their stickles getting stuck? I have tried inserting my paper piercer, but that hasn't made a difference, and I'm apprehensive to try anything else-I don't want too make the hole too big.

I would appreciate any suggestions from anyone who has had this happen before and solved it! (I hope it can be solved-I really want to stickle my sister's baby shower invites)

TIA.

I unfold a paperclip and use that down the spout to move the clog. It does sound as if a bunch of glitter is stuck in there and all you are getting out when you squeeze is the glue.

Some people suggest storing the bottle upside down to prevent the clogs, but I personally store mine right side up and just use the paper clip to unclog as needed.

HTH!

I keep a long pin in my pincushion nearby, and when I'm having clogs, I just run the pin into mouth of the bottle, and rotate it a bit to clear the clog. It seems to happen everytime I use 'em, but the pin works fine, and it isn't going to enlarge the hole. You know, pins about 2 inches long with round heads? corsage pins, maybe?

Huh, guess I'm not the only one either. I have the best luck with the paperclip. It has not made the holes too big. May the Stickles people should work on fixing this.

take care,

Thanks so much ladies!!! I got really aggressive with my paper-piercing tool and WOW I've never seen stickles flow so abundantly!!

But yes, Ranger should get on it with their product and help us out here..lol...does anyone have connections?

I will email my retail vendor where I get my stickles from and she will no doubt be able to pass on a word-so maybe if we all collectively passed on a word!

No connections here, but with the amount I buy I ought to get some stock in Ranger!!! LOL!! ;)

Glad it worked for ya! Happy creating!
