A gun which ejects a hot glue substance used to adhere two (or more) surfaces together.
To operate:
- Insert solid glue cartridges into the barrel of the glue gun.
- Connect the glue gun to an electrical power source, causing the gun to produce the heat necessary to melt the glue.
- Once the liquid glue is ready, pressing the trigger will release the glue from the nozzle onto the desired surface.
Glue and nozzle types vary, depending upon the intended
purpose. Special purpose glues include wood and fabric glues; special nozzles include flat and needle point nozzles.
