Glue guns for different applications

Each job and each material requires a different approach. The glue guns in our collection from Bosch, Metabo, Steinel and CMT each have their own specifications and uses. How do you choose the right electric glue gun for your jobs? Keep the following things in mind when choosing the right model:

Do you want flexibility in applying glue?

Then choose a model with interchangeable nozzles. You can switch between dosed, spot application, bead application or spray adhesive for larger areas.

Do you want maximum freedom of movement in your gluing projects?

Then a cordless, battery-powered model is a good choice. There are also cordless and mains-operated glue guns for when you need to apply glue for a long time. Ideal if you have different requirements for each job.

Suitable materials for hot-melt adhesive

A glue gun is a popular device for both the hobbyist and the demanding professional, and rightly so. The hot glue, or hot-melt adhesive, is suitable for many projects. The short drying time of the adhesive, its moisture resistance and the possibility to also glue non-porous surfaces make it a versatile device. It is used, for example, when making flower arrangements, sealing joints, gluing picture frames, or fixing wood plugs.

Hot melt adhesive is suitable for bonding wood, plastic, cardboard, glass, rubber, ceramics, stone, textiles, cork, leather and metal, among others. Styrofoam is not suitable for bonding with hot melt adhesive because of the heat sensitivity of the material.
