Hot glue guns are tools used for adhesive applications on many different materials such as paper, cardboard, plastic, rubber, wood and a whole host of other substrates. Thanks to the simple and comfortable design, glue guns are easy to operate making them ideal for use in a range of applications.

### How do glue guns work?

They work by heating a moulded stick of glue until it becomes viscous, then by squeezing the gun trigger the molten glue is forced through the gun's nozzle for application to the piece of work. These are also known as hot melt adhesive (HMA) sticks and come in a range of sizes as well as colours. After application, the glue will cool and solidify and is typically fully cured within 1 minute depending on the substrate and working conditions.
