What is the difference between gel glue sticks and regular glue sticks?

Gel glue sticks are typically made with a formulation that includes a higher water content, resulting in a smoother, more flexible adhesive once dried. They are often used for projects requiring a clear finish and can be easier to remove from surfaces. In contrast, regular glue sticks are generally more solid and can dry faster, making them suitable for basic paper crafts but may not provide the same level of flexibility or clarity as gel glue sticks.
