The Hot Melt Glue Gun is an extremely fast and effective way of bonding a range of materials. Simply plug the gun into a wall socket and allow it to heat up for a few minutes. Insert the hot melt glue stick into the back of the glue gun and squeeze the trigger to apply the hot glue to your material. Glue will dry in 30 – 60 seconds!
Students will find working with the Hot Melt Glue Gun fast and easy – its thick non-drip hold makes it easy to build and construct and the fast-drying time means there is no need to use clamps and supports to hold up materials while drying. The Hot Melt Glue Gun is also great for fastening heavy items that require an extra strong bond or are on a vertical surface.
Quickly and easily stick a variety of materials including Cardboard, Corflute board, wood, plastic, fabric, ceramic breakages, leather and some metals. Not only that, the Hot Melt Glue Gun can be use artistically to create line work for relief printing and decoration.
Caution: The nozzle area of the Hot Melt Glue Gun reaches temperatures of 380° degrees. If hot glue gets onto the skin do not try to remove the glue. Put under cold running water immediately. Not for children under 12 years of age. For a safe alternative for younger children try our Low Melt Glue Gun and Low Melt Glue Sticks.
