That is a new one on me, I didn't know that silicone glue was used in a hot glue gun.

Re: silicon gun
We refer to that as a glue gun. The sticks that go in it are thermoplastic glue. The yellower the sticks are in color, the stronger they bond. They also usually require more heat and set quicker.

Herb Stoops wrote: ↑Fri Apr 21, 2023 1:04 pmThey mention silicone sticks and then they refer to them as just hot melt. I did a quick search to see if I could find actual silicone based sticks and I couldn't. It may just be a terminology issue like rabbet/rebate or torch/flashlight. I looked on the website of Henkel who specialize in making hot melt glues and they list about a half dozen formulations of thermoset glues but none of which are silicone based.Cherryville Chuck wrote: ↑Fri Apr 21, 2023 11:58 am

As for the guns, I've had a few and all seemed about equal. They all tend to drip when they are parked in a stand. Having some kind of stand is a bonus.

Re: silicon gun
This is the one that archers use to glue steel points on wooden arrows. It has very good holding power and impact resistance. https://www.3riversarchery.com/bohning- ... -glue.html
