I haven't ever used a hot glue gun for woodworking. Not being a smart adze here, but what do you use it for? Maybe I can learn something that makes things easier in the shop! RE: Hot Melt Glue Gun - Bill Holt - 02-20-2017 Mike, today I used my wife's cheap hobby glue gun to hold 4 blocks in alignment for an "inside / out" woodturning challenge. The problem with the cheap gun...the glue cools two quickly. Another use is tacking a block or fence in place on a jig before you run in the screws. As far as I know, the main use is in reversible/temporary work.

RE: Hot Melt Glue Gun - Cooler - 02-21-2017 I have a cordless gun that uses polyurethane glue (think Gorilla glue). It was very expensive when I bought it; there are cheaper versions now. It has a much lower melt temperature so it is suitable to glue some things that hot melt glues will ruin. The adhesive is permanent. But it leaves a black glue line when I tried it for picture frames. I thought I could use if for my framing business but the glue line put the kabosh on that. Here is a recent version: http://www.toolfix.com.au/Steinel-PurGlue-50-Cordless-Hot-Melt-Glue-Gun.html This thing shoots real permanent glue. For certain applications a really good product. And it is cordless. Very handy for that too. RE: Hot Melt Glue Gun - fredhargis - 02-21-2017 Mine is also a Surebonder, but a different model (discontinued, I think) a Pro 4000A. For what little I use it for, it's fine. I would suggest one of the less expensive units to see just how much you'll use it. RE: Hot Melt Glue Gun - mound - 02-21-2017 The one and only hot glue gun I've had for 10 years, have used it probably 5-10 times in any given year (wife has used it more lately) and I'm sure I didn't pay more than $20 for it at a craft store.

I used it to make 30 or so of these and a few of these kitchen bulletin boards |
