Glue Gun

With a glue gun, you can do many artful DIY projects and can turn simple things into whole new objects such as you can decorate a plain vase with hot glue and give it a textured effect. You can also do basic repairs with it such as sticking broken toys back together. Other fun things that you can do with this device is securing patches, rhinestones and other accessories to your outfit, making jewellery, felt flowers and crayon art by inserting crayons instead of glue sticks into the gun. 

Safety Guidelines

Using a glue gun is pretty simple but remember to follow safety guidelines, as the glue that comes out is piping hot and can instantly give you blisters and severe heat damage. Every time you use it, the nozzle should be thoroughly cleaned before even plugging it into the electric socket. This is done to make sure not to leave any residue from the previous application and to clear the path for the melted glue that will ooze out of the gun. Remember, never to use water to clean your device as it can result in hazardous consequences. 

Type of Glue Used

The glue used is a thermoplastic adhesive that comes in the form of cylindrical sticks. It melts instantly because of the constant heating mechanism of this glueing device and solidifies within seconds, making adhesion very easy and quick.

User Manual

The manual that comes along with the gun assists the users in selecting the size and shape of the glue sticks. it also informs the users as to what materials can the gun is recommended for and how long does it take to heat up completely.

Cordless Models

Newer glue gun models are cordless, allowing you more freedom to work and move as you like, without worrying about pulling the cord from the socket.
