One of the great mysteries of adhesives is who invented glue guns and when. They date back to about 1907, however, after numerous internet searches, I can only assure you the inventor was NOT Robert Brooklyns, Paul Cope or Miles Kent.
A hot glue gun is hot. Of course. Cold glue is too runny and hardly does the job. Robert Brooklyns found out that by heat and glue, it makes whatever stick better to whatever than cold glue. Now you know!no one cares...hot is supposed to be hot and that is it!
George Shultz
1975
You can glue things faster and more easily with a glue gun than with a tube of glue (although I still use tubes, personally).
There are quite a few possibilities for this. Most likely in my opinion is engineer Paul Cope who worked for Proctor and Gamble in the 1940's. George Schultz invented a type of industrial glue gun but much later.
It was invented during WW2 by Robert Goddard.
No, you cannot use a solder gun as a hot glue gun.No, you cannot use a solder gun as a hot glue gun.
Your glue stick may be too big for your glue gun because the glue stick is not the correct size or type that is compatible with your specific glue gun model. It is important to check the specifications of both the glue stick and the glue gun to ensure they are compatible for use together.
Turn the glue gun on to loosen the glue, then, if the glue is persistent, use a wooden stick to CAREFULLY pick the glue off.
Yes, it's a good practice to remove the glue stick from the glue gun when you're finished using it. This helps prevent the glue from hardening inside the gun and clogging the nozzle. Additionally, it can prolong the life of the glue gun and ensure it’s ready for your next project. Always unplug the glue gun before removing the glue stick for safety.
Super glue was invented during World War II by researchers trying to create a clear plastic for gun sights. Its adhesive properties were discovered accidentally, leading to the development of a strong, fast-drying adhesive that later became known as super glue.
