Can I use Modge Melt sticks like ordinary glue?

Can anyone tell me if the Modge melt colored / glitter sticks can be used just like ordinary glue sticks, or are they only for use in the molds.? There are so many times when I have wished that I could incorporate the glue into the project design instead of needing to hide it. Thanks in advance for any advice or information.

They are used only in the molds for craft embellishment projects.
They make glitter glue sticks. I have seen the small ones at Dollar Tree. The bigger ones can be picked up at a hobby store. I haven't looked for them on amazon but it would surprise me if they didn't sell them.
I had several pounds that I just put into an auction. (glitter glue sticks) They can be melted in a glue pot or put through a glue gun that takes oval sticks. Let me know and if they do not sell!!!! I'll let you know.
But remember all the sticks can be melted in a glue pot for more diverse uses.
Happy crafting
Thats true. I just really like the convenience of the glue gun.
Thanks and Happy Holidays
It is an "old time" devise for melting glue. It originally was used by floral shops. I would kinda look like an ashtray or a small electric skillet with an electrical cord. Hot melt glue was put into it and a flower stem would be dipped into the hot blue before inserting into the styro. It works with the glue sticks also. I use mine from time to time but it is not on my most used tool list. I did a search and it popped up. I have several but I could not tell you where they are. I too have 75 years of experience . I think were are sisters.
