How to Use a Hot Melt Glue Gun in 10 Easy Steps
Plug your glue gun into a grounded outlet, then insert a full-diameter stick while it’s cool. Heat the gun for 3–5 minutes on a heat-resistant surface until the glue softens.
Test the flow on scrap material with short trigger presses. Apply glue to one surface, joining items quickly.
Refill by butt-ending new sticks behind partially used ones without removing them. When finished, unplug and let the gun cool upright with the stick inside.
Follow these steps to master smooth, safe gluing and discover tips for perfect bonds. You’ll get the hang of it in no time!
