I don't know if I'd like using glue sticks. The one's I've used in the past on other projects were kind of gummy...maybe too much so. It's been awhile since I've tried one, maybe they're better now. I think I read that there are some that wash out.
A tip I got on using glue sticks is to keep them in the freezer. When the one you are using starts getting gummy, switch to a frozen one. I found that I had better luck when I let it sit for just a minute that it worked better than right out of the freezer.
