FAQs

What size glue sticks does this gun use?

This glue gun uses standard 7.2mm x 100mm hot melt glue sticks.

How long does it take to heat up?

The glue gun typically heats up and is ready to dispense glue in about 2-3 minutes.

What materials can I bond with this glue gun?

It bonds well to paper, plastic, wood, ceramics, fabric, and some metals. Results may vary on slick or non-porous surfaces.

Is the glue permanent?

Hot melt glue creates a strong bond that is generally considered permanent. However, it can be softened with heat, and bonds on some materials may weaken over time or under stress.

How do I clean the glue gun?

Ensure the gun is unplugged and fully cooled. The non-stick tip can be wiped with a dry cloth. Avoid using liquids or solvents on the nozzle.

Does it come with glue sticks?

Yes, the glue gun includes two 7.2mm x 100mm glue sticks to get you started.

Is this glue gun safe for children?

No, this product is not a toy. It uses hot elements and molten glue, so it must be kept away from children and pets. Adult supervision is required.

Troubleshooting

Glue gun not heating up

Ensure the power cord is securely plugged into a working electrical outlet. Check if the glue stick is correctly inserted.

Glue not dispensing

Allow the gun more time to heat up. Make sure the trigger is being squeezed firmly and consistently. Check that the glue stick has reached the nozzle.

Excessive dripping when not in use

Rest the glue gun on its stand or a heat-resistant surface to minimize dripping. Unplug the unit when not actively applying glue.

Poor adhesion to a surface

Ensure the surfaces to be bonded are clean, dry, and free from dust or grease. For non-porous surfaces, a light sanding might improve grip.
