How to prevent stringing in a hot glue gun in use
2020-12-14
I. Stringing during hot melt adhesive use is related to both the adhesive and the glue gun. From the adhesive's perspective, the hot melt adhesive should be relatively thin; from the gun's perspective, the glue gun nozzle needs to be designed with a back-suction capability. From the user's perspective, increasing the temperature of the glue gun nozzle can improve the stringing phenomenon.
II. Hot melt glue guns are frequently used tools in construction, especially in interior decoration. They are generally used for applying adhesives to materials. Hot melt glue guns feature precise on/off control, a variety of nozzles to meet the requirements of different production lines, and a unique filter design for easy cleaning. Generally, hot melt glue guns will not deform even under prolonged high-temperature use, and the joints are durable, making them widely used in food factories, electronics factories, and packaging plants.
III. Hot melt glue guns also require certain skills; careless use not only prevents perfect glue application but also can cause burns due to the high temperature. After carefully reading the following tips, you will no longer have any questions about using a hot melt glue gun.
Tip 1: How to dispense adhesive
After receiving the glue gun, first open the packaging. The packaging usually contains a small stand; place the stand in the two small holes at the front of the gun body. Then use the stand to support the hot melt glue gun so that it won't burn the table during use.
Next, insert the glue stick into the glue gun, connect the power, and turn on the switch. The indicator light on the glue gun will light up, indicating that the glue gun is heating. Generally, it only takes a few minutes for the glue gun to dispense adhesive.
Tip 2: Learn to extend the lifespan of the glue gun
Generally speaking, glue guns used for DIY projects and those used in renovations are quite different. DIYers generally do not use glue guns for extended periods. Therefore, it is recommended that those using glue guns for DIY projects should plan their work and then apply the adhesive all at once.
The reason for this is simple: if a glue gun is used for DIY creation and is left on for a long time without being used, the heated adhesive inside will slowly flow out. If there is too little adhesive in the gun body, and the interior is mostly empty, the glue gun can easily be damaged. Generally, it's best to turn off the glue gun after more than ten minutes of non-use to avoid damage.
Tip 3: Pay attention to safety during use
Glue guns use heat to melt and dispense adhesive. This characteristic means that the heating parts of the glue gun are very hot. Users must take protective measures before use; otherwise, contact with the hot parts can easily cause burns.
