Hot gluing is used lots in Arts and Crafts. Also, minor repairing of laminated surfaces around the home. Be careful when gluing surfaces that can melt with high heat, like Styrofoam - best to use regular glue for that.

Just a added note: I have received gifts (a bird house) that was put together with hot glue, it fell apart. there are better glues out there. Depending on the use and the material you are gluing, consider handling, indoor, outdoor, etc. Good-Luck!

Start by plugging it in and press the handle, it should release the glue, be careful to drop the glue where you want it to go.
