Hot melt glue stick is a common adhesive tool widely used in households, handicrafts, decoration and other fields. Its convenient use and strong adhesive ability make it popular. However, many people are not familiar with the correct use of hot melt adhesive rods. Next, we will provide you with a detailed introduction to the usage techniques of hot melt glue sticks, so that you can become a glue master with ease!



Firstly, selecting the appropriate hot melt adhesive stick is crucial. Hot melt adhesive rods come in different specifications and models based on their different materials and applications. Common specifications include 7mm, 11mm, etc. You can choose according to specific needs. In addition, it is necessary to choose a suitable hot melt adhesive rod based on the working temperature, which generally has two types: low temperature and high temperature.



Secondly, before using the hot melt glue stick, it is necessary to preheat the glue gun. Generally speaking, the preheating time is around 3-5 minutes. When preheating, insert the hot melt glue stick into the groove of the glue gun, and then insert the glue gun into the power socket. During the preheating process, other things can be prepared, such as cleaning the work area, preparing materials to be bonded, etc.



After the hot melt glue stick is preheated, it can be used. Firstly, place the materials that need to be bonded on the workbench to ensure a clean and flat surface. Then, use a hot melt glue gun to evenly apply the hot glue to the areas that need to be bonded. When applying, it is necessary to maintain an appropriate contact angle between the glue gun and the material, so that the glue can be evenly applied. After application, quickly press the materials that need to be glued together and use force to ensure firm adhesion. Wait for a moment for the glue to fully dry and secure.



During the use of hot melt adhesive sticks, it is also necessary to pay attention to some safety precautions. Firstly, the temperature of the hot melt glue gun is very high, so be careful of burns when using it. When placing and replacing hot melt glue sticks, be sure to use a glue gun holder to secure the glue gun. Secondly, it is important to stay away from flammable materials during use to prevent fires. In addition, avoid placing the hot melt adhesive stick in a place that is easily accessible to children to prevent accidents.



To summarize, a hot melt adhesive stick is a convenient and practical adhesive tool, and it is necessary to choose the appropriate specifications and models before use. When using, preheat the glue gun and evenly apply the hot glue to the areas that need to be glued, then quickly press the material to ensure firm adhesion. At the same time, safety precautions should be taken to avoid burns and fires. I believe that through our introduction, you have mastered the skills of using hot melt glue sticks. Give it a try now!
