Hot Melt Glue Sticks

Hot melt glue sticks melt in glue guns to bond cardboard, fabric, foam and crafts.  They set quickly and are great for temporary jigs and layout tasks.

What are hot melt glue sticks commonly used for?
They’re versatile adhesives used with glue guns for bonding wood, plastics, fabric, cardboard, and light metals. They’re popular in crafts, packaging, repairs, and even some light-duty construction applications.

Are all glue sticks compatible with every glue gun?
No. Glue sticks come in different diameters (commonly 7mm or 11mm) and formulations (standard, high-temperature, low-temperature, or specialty types). Always check your glue gun’s specifications before purchasing sticks.

How can I get the strongest bond with hot melt glue?
Ensure surfaces are clean and dry, preheat the glue gun fully before applying, and press the parts together immediately while the glue is still hot. Hold them in place until the adhesive cools and hardens.
