Glue Gun Problems Question 3
This has got to be one of the most frustrating things to encounter. You have your glue sticks, your glue gun and you're ready to go. But, the glue sticks won't melt! What's going on. It's probably one of two things...

I know this video is a few years old, but here goes. I've had a glue gun since 2000 that's worked wonders. Lately though, I've noticed glue back flowing where the glue stick gets pushed in. I pulled it all apart and cleaned out that area, but it still seems to be doing it. The glue stick doesn't seem to want to move forward sometimes. So I bought a new glue gun at the dollar store today (I bought this one at a dollar store in 2000). The new one just doesn't seem to heat up the glue sticks, they come out in this thick blob, where my old one heats them up nicely, it just has this new issue now. suggestions? I was wondering if maybe the glue sticks are too small? but i've used these before. So I figure they should be fine. The glue sticks are listed as "all purpose" for use with high, low, and dual guns.

@MakerHighSchool 2 года назад

I still answer questions! It's possible it's the circumference of the glue sticks that are giving you problems, but as ling as the gun is trying to catch when you squeeze the trigger, it's probablynot that . Not sure if you're in the US, but the quality in the dollar store glue guns has gone way down. My only suggestion (other than buying a craft store glue gun) is to try low temp sticks they have the most wax, so also have the lowest melting point. Hope that helps.

@g8kpr3000 2 года назад

@@MakerHighSchool It catches the glue stick, but as the glue stick gets to the end of it's life, it starts to all clog up and the next one doesn't advance very well. I can usually force the next one in and it will start to go again. I might try the new glue gun with low temp glue to see how that works. Thanks.

@rosed3167 Год назад

Hi. I bought a brand new glue gun with glue sticks in the kit. I inserted the first glue stick and it did not insert all the way even if i used the trigger to push it forwatd. So as the instructions say to insert a second glue stick behind it to push the first glue stick into the chamber. I turned on the glue gun and ended up with the first glue stick bending at the back while the second glue stick attempted to push the first one through. What do i do now? Can i cut the bent piece off while it is cold? Will that help? Wish i could upload a photo here, but can't see a way to do that.

@MakerHighSchool Год назад

From what I'm picturing, yes, I'd cut it off if you can. (While it's cold and unplugged) put in the second glue stick and try again. (The risk is you might break the assembly inside.) Since it's new, if that still doesn't work, you can always return it. Best of luck!

@bafk3t Год назад

I just bought it, opened it and put the glue stick that was inside the box. So it's got to be the right quality. I pressed inside as far as it goes. Not working and glue is not coming out. How do I get the stick out

@MakerHighSchool Год назад

You should honestly exchange it for a new one. It means your heating element isn't getting hot enough. If that's not an option, best case scenario is turn it on and let it sit for 5 + minutes. You can unplug it and pull it out of the back. I DO NOT recommend since you can break the assembly and leave glue behind in the barrel. If that doest work, it means your heating element is totally shot. Be careful not to shock or burn yourself.

My glue gun is only three days old but first and second day it worked too good but third day when I used it , it heats completly hot but when I press the trigger only one drop of glue is coming out please help my money will be wasted😢😭😤 and it's 40 Watts and I bought it online on flipkart

@MakerHighSchool 5 лет назад

Flipkart doesn't have the best reputation. Might be the spring on your trigger. IF you're an adult, you can take a look at my video "how a glue gun works". Make sure you UNPLUG it if you decide to open it up. If the spring is still attached where it should be, you might want to try replacing it if there's a spare one lying around. Hope this helps!

@Comic__Rat 2 года назад

My glue gun worked before on the sticks I have rn but now it's not working. I tried to look inside the glue gun and I saw the stick there. The stick is not melting. Do I have to Unscrew the glue gun to get the stick out?

@MakerHighSchool 2 года назад

It depends. I have a video showing the inside of a glue gun. If the glue is stuck in the heating element, it's dead because it's not getting hot enough to melt the glue. If you do decide to open it, make sure to unplug it first. 👍

@nupiroy 4 года назад

My glue gun is working absolutely perfect but, when i stick two object together and when the glue dries up and cools down, the objects can be pulled apart so easily as if they had never been stuck with hot glue in the first place.... How do I ensure this doesn't happen

@MakerHighSchool 4 года назад

without knowing what you're trying to glue, I can only guess. Hot glue isn't always the best adhesive for some materials. I have videos about a couple of other glues that might work better, or you could check out the website thistothat.com to get a recommendation for the type of glue to use to glue two surfaces together.

@SimonaShine 4 года назад

I think I know now why my glue gun does what it does. None of what you said here is what I'm experiencing. My glue stick melte inside the glue gun,making it come out before the nozzle! Crazy, right? I bought the sticks from a Chinese store,now I know why I'm having these problems. Maybe the stick are for a low heat gun and mine is too hot. Thanks. I won't buy glue stick anymore unless they're quality ones

@Struck-animations-studios-2683 Год назад

My glue gun keeps making little bubbles and every time I try to heat it up it never works and I do remember that someone in my house put a crayon inside of it maybe that’s the problem I don’t really know

@MakerHighSchool Год назад

I'm pretty sure that's the problem. Glue sticks are a mixture of plastic and wax. Crayons are wax and other things like hard minerals to color them, and additives to make them glide easier. The wax melts faster than a glue stick and leaves behind everything else, and that clogs the glue gun. That sucks, sorry. I've had a lot of people on my glue gun burn video comment they did it with crayons in the gun. At least no one got burned badly. I'm afraid you're going to have to buy a new glue gun since it's next to impossible to get inside the barrel. I have a video showing what the inside of a standard glue gun looks like if you want to know what I'm talking about. Stay safe! Best, Lori

funny, i git the adtech high temp glue gun and multi temp glue sticks and discovered i bought a piece of crap, i wait 5 mins and when i go to use it i get a short burst of an inch or less on the first attempt and then have to wait another 5 mins and i get a few drops the second time, on third try after waiting i got nothing. the gun came with no instructions except for the little bit on plastic wrapper and it didn't specify any type of glue stick other than to say full size so i do believe its going in the trash.

@MakerHighSchool 9 месяцев назад

Ad tech has been going down hill lately. If you can return it and get your money back, that's the best option. If the store gets too many returns, it will stop carrying that item. That's usually how manufacturers get the message that people aren't going to support their bad products. 👍

My glue gun is heating but the glue stick is taking a long time to melt though it is melting bit it's not coming out its a new gun

@MakerHighSchool 5 лет назад

Are you using the glue sticks that came with it? If so, then the heating element isn't heating up to temp. First, try a different outlet, just to make sure it's getting full power. If that doesn't work, I'd suggest returning it, and getting a different brand if possible. (If that one has a defect, chances are the others do, too.)

@MakerHighSchool 2 года назад

If you've tried using low temp glue sticks and it still won't work, the problem is either your outlet or the gun itself. Try it in a couple different rooms and if it's a no go, it's the gun. I'd exchange it for a different brand if possible. Hope that helps! 👍

If the glue is coming from everywhere, it sounds like you either have a clog or a problem with the trigger. I have another video showing the inside of a glue gun. ONLY open it up if you are an adult. If you open it up, MAKE SURE it is unplugged. The spring tension may be off. If it's not the spring, then it's a clog on the inside of the heating element. Hope this helps!

I would check to make sure your outlet isn't the problem. Have you tried plugging it into a different outlet? If it's still not heating up, the glue gun has to be defective. I'd return it and buy another kind. Not heating up at all sounds like a connected problem to the heating element.

@MakerHighSchool 5 лет назад

You could try letting it sit a little while longer while it's heating up and then possibly pushed gently from the back of the glue stick. Don't go too hard could because you don't want to break the trigger. If it still won't move, then there's a problem with your heating element, probably. I'd return it and exchange it for a different kind.
