I bought a cool glue gun a few months ago. Well, it's not really cool, but it's not quite as dangerously hot as a hot one. It works just the same (or so I understand) - the glue starts to melt after it's been turned on for about 4-5 minutes and you can then apply it and start sticking things together.
However, I have found that once the glue is cold, which happens very quickly (too quickly sometimes, before you get a chance to position fiddly items properly), it just peels off, rather like that rubbery stuff they use to glue free gifts to the front of magazines.
Has anyone used a proper hot hot glue gun? If so, have you had a similar experience with it? Also, do you find it tricky avoiding the glue getting on your skin and burning you? In other words, how dangerous is it?
