Mega 40 watt Glue Gun with 2 Glue sticks

A hot glue gun is a very useful tool for joining modelling materials and even more substantial materials can be fixed together with it. Sticks of solid glue are pushed into the back of the gun, the trigger is pressed pushing the glue stick forward and molten glue comes out of the nozzle. The glue is manufactured from thermoplastics. Thermoplastics are plastics that melt and can be reshaped when they are heated. Some are suitable as glues. There are different types of glue sticks and these are selected depending on the material being glued. Some glue sticks are more suitable for wood based materials whilst others are for general gluing of a variety of materials.
