Hello, the other day I made a match case from a glue stick/ pritt stick.
I just washed it out, peeled the label off ( I used WD40 to get rid of any remaining glue on the inside and outside on the glue stick) and cut out the stick that the glue was on inside. I have had it held under water for 2minutes and nothing got through. I don't think all glue sticks will be waterproof, I guess I was lucky (mine was a cheap one from Tesco's).
Good Luck, hopefully someone will find this useful saving a bit of cash and the environment.

Thanks for your great responses, this forum seems to have a very good community.

If anybody else tries this can they post their experience doing it and if it worked for them?
