Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Prepare Your Workspace

• Choose a well-ventilated area for working.
• Place a protective surface under the area you will be working on to catch any excess glue.

Step 2: Insert the Glue Stick

• Ensure the glue gun is unplugged and cool before handling.
• Insert a glue stick into the rear of the glue gun.
• Push the glue stick in until it stops; it’s ready to be melted.

Step 3: Heat the Glue Gun

• Plug the glue gun into a power source.
• Allow the glue gun to heat up for about 5-7 minutes or until it reaches operating temperature.
• Be cautious as the nozzle will become very hot.

Step 4: Apply the Glue

• Gently squeeze the trigger to release the melted glue through the nozzle.
• Apply the glue to the surfaces you wish to bond.
• Work quickly, as the glue will begin to set within seconds.

Step 5: Secure the Bond

• Press the glued surfaces together firmly.
• Hold in place for a few seconds to ensure a strong bond.

Step 6: Finish and Clean Up

• Unplug the glue gun and allow it to cool down before storing.
• Trim any excess glue strings with scissors if necessary.

Safety Tips

• Always use caution when handling the hot glue gun and melted glue.
• Keep out of reach of children and pets.
• Do not touch the nozzle or melted glue directly to avoid burns.
