This version uses a bright neon yellow so you can check your coverage as you work: Tombow says you avoid the dirt of spill-over and the peeling of spots you missed, and the yellow fades as the glue dries. It follows the standard blue [Kieiro PiT](https://stationerytimes.com/guides/tombow-kieiro-pit-glue-stick/) in size and idea. The change is the glue color and the choice of three body colors, which Tombow says you can pick to match the contents of your pencil case or the look of your desk. ## What colors, size and price does it come in? **Three bodies, one 10 g size.** Tombow lists these, all with tax. | Body | Part number | Glue weight | Price with tax | |---|---|---|---| | Yellow | PT-TCY | 10 g | 132 yen (about US$0.84) | | Silver | PT-TCY04 | 10 g | 132 yen (about US$0.84) | | Pink | PT-TCY81 | 10 g | 132 yen (about US$0.84) | Prices are Japanese list prices at 158 yen to the dollar. Tombow gives no body dimensions, so the drawing above is in proportion only, and the body tints are sampled from Tombow's product image. ## Who is the Kieiro PiT Neon Yellow for? **It suits people who want to see the glue and like a brightly colored stick.** The fact behind that is the neon yellow glue that fades when dry, in a choice of three body colors for 132 yen (about US$0.84). Skip it if you want a refill: Tombow lists none for this stick. The [Kieiro PiT Hosomi](https://stationerytimes.com/guides/tombow-kieiro-pit-hosomi-glue-stick/) is the slim refillable one. ## How does the disappearing glue work? **It is colored when wet and clear when dry.** Tombow says the neon yellow lets you see exactly where you have applied glue, so you do not leave gaps that later peel or push out too much at the edges. The page does not say how long the fade takes, or how strongly it bonds, so those are untested here. Tombow also notes that you should stick the paper down right after gluing, because glue left to dry may no longer bond. ## What should you watch out for? **Wind the glue out 3 to 4 mm, cap it, and keep it cool.** Tombow says pushing the glue out too far can stop it winding back. Put the cap on after use and avoid high heat. If a paper peels easily, put on more glue. Depending on storage, it may discolor photographs, and thermal paper such as receipts may lose its print. Keep it away from small children and use it only for gluing. ## What is it made of? **A recycled-plastic body.** Tombow lists it as a Green Tombow product with at least 40% recycled plastic by weight excluding the glue, Green Purchasing Law compliance and a listing on the GPN eco-products site. That is a lower share than Tombow lists for the [PiT Hi-Power](https://stationerytimes.com/guides/tombow-pit-hi-power-glue-stick/), which uses at least 70%. ## Where is it made, and what does it cost? **Tombow's page doesn't state a country of manufacture.** The company is based in Tokyo. At 132 yen with tax (about US$0.84), every color is in our $ band (under $5). ## Frequently asked questions ### What color is the glue? Neon yellow.
