One tiny dot of the Acorn holds strong. I use less of it. My 4 oz bottle is half full after almost a year for spot gluing seams. I use spray or Elmer's for quilt basting. Roxanne's is good for gluing binding, it's not as 'wet' as Elmers, but not as powerful hold as Acorn brand per dot. That is what I have noticed using all of them. Oh, Appliquick is the best tube glue! Great for applique.
