These sticks can be bent easily? Like conventional sticks of all purpose? ie they are flexible? I would also like to know the stiffness of this sticks

Yes, they can be bent easily, though not quite as flexible and rubbery/gummy as the typical clear/opaque sticks.

the first sticks i bought from ebay years ago were more firmer as these are definitely softer. once heated the new glue is softer for a longer time so it allows more open work time.

You wouldn't notice any major physical difference in the glue sticks at room temperature other than color. I believe they have a higher melt temperature and so when bonding plastics they soften and bond to the parts much better. I had had a problem with some of my custom plastic constructions coming apart during hot days in the sub tropics before I discovered these Steinel sticks. Those problems are now gone so I am very pleased with the bonding properties of these sticks.

They do have flexibility, they are great! I have been using ones I buy from Walmart but they would not stay glued for a very long time. These have not been coming unstuck to what I glue them to. I use them to put up led strip lights, the Walmart glue would come undone when the lights warm up. These glue sticks don't come undone. I'm very happy with them.

Yes, the raw sticks are flexible and can be easily bent into a 4" circle. They are VERY strong and in my opinion well worth the extra cost. As a test I glued two pieces of poplar together and let it completely cure ( overnight ).. In the morning I had to use a hammer to break the glue joint apart!

yes they can easily be bent and are flexible too. we use them to stick led lights to the aluminum base of illuminated signs.

I don't think they are that flexible. The kit comes with 5 or 6 pole segments and they are pretty stiff. I bet you could make a 180 degree arch with all 5 poles, but it would be tough to get the ends to touch.

They are wire and will bend, but stay bent once you do so. These are pretty small, but I find them very useful. I don't think they will hold up to a LOT of heavy scrubbing, though.

They are definitely able to be bent. Pretty pliable. I would still say sturdy since we use them at a school and frequently change the documents.

not stiff at all. they offer almost no resistance then recoil back to their original form. more than 3 feet and then maybe you can start feeling some pullback.

These sticks are around a 2B diameter. They are also longer in length than your average stick. There is some flexing of the stick when playing but if you are not an extreme hard hitter these will work fine.

They are hard but not in a way that you can snap them. They will bend but will not break. I made a mistake when I got these particular ones.

They are 2 1/2" and they are flexible if you force them to be, but too much force would break them. Does that make explain them to you? I don't know if you want flexible, but if you do, then these aren't for you. They won't fold if you load them with your face cream or whatever. The edge is thin. I use them as a sort of measuring tool for my expensive body creams. They can't load that much and reassures me that I'm not using too much.

No man these things are great!!! You can't bend them with your bare hands if you tried, size is nice, they come sharp, one downfall is that they are dark, so throwing them outside and losing them in the dirt is a thing.... But the shiny edge helps.... Trust me, no regrets!

They are flexible but not small so bending them may not give you the best result. They are about 3" diameter.

they probably will bend too, I do recommend the stands but for light (not heavy) stuff. you're probably need a C-stand... i know the price is much higher but keep in mind safety... hope it helped...

They are soft, but I would describe them as flexible. They are made of silicone so they are very durable.

so far, no problems! they're very sturdy...not flimsy. i just tried to bend them..no luck! :)

Yes they flex some, they are pretty durable but you could break them if you put too much stress on them. I have had them for 2 years and still using so I would call them durable.

Only used them In frozen drinks, they bend, but then snap right back into shape. They are strong and I put them in the dishwasher. Hop this helps.

They are pretty stiff like plastic. I only purchased them once and used them once. You didn't receive the wrong ones that is how they are. Hope this helps.

To be honest, they are somewhat stiff. They are not like a loose coil which can be wrapped around or manipulated to suit a specific space. They have a bend from being folded for shipping, but they are not bendable like a coil.
