We added 1/10 of hot glue to our wedding invitations sealing wax to make it less brittle and to survive posting. It also sticked to the envelope much better. We melted the wax and hot glue in a tealight tin over a stove.

I use hot glue ALL THE TIME. I repair my rc planes with it, waterproof electronics etc. Its amazing. I even use it when I want to make sure a splice is super strong, first I strip both ends of wire, then wrap each join, then solder, then I cover in hot glue! Its great because it make the join stronger, protects the solder from breaking, makes it water proof AND insulates it! I use a bosch hot glue gun, it's brilliant!

Some great tips in there Linn! I also use Hot glue to mount small parts on a faceplate for turning on a lathe, and for securing parts for routing too. It's maybe worth pointing out that it's best to get a gun that actually gets pretty hot, as some can be under powered and not get the glue hot enough to melt it properly for the best holding power. These also lead to the glue drying too fast.

Forgot to add: check the glue stick labelling carefully, there are a variety of formulations some of which are not water resistant, some are low temperature (usually craft store sticks) and others are designed to stick special materials and may require special preparation or just cost a lot more than what you really need. If you are having trouble with the glue sticking another thing to look for is the temperature of what you are sticking together - if its cold then the glue will harden too soon and form a weak joint so consider warming up your project in the sun, with a hair dryer or whatever. Been there, done that too. :-)

Really interesting ideas - my father was a bookbinder and used hot glue routinely in that trade. He encouraged me to transfer this to woodworking (my trade) and the results were terrific. Hot glues joints - well clamped - provide great bonds! I was really interested in your supporting pyramids - this has made me want to experiment with moulding of shapes with hot glue for my model making!

Best use for a woodworker: hot glue can be used to hold hard-to-clamp and other odd glue joints together while the real glue sets. When setting your glue joint, intentionally leave voids and use a small dab of hot glue to secure the parts together while the real glue sets. Squeeze out is easily chiseled off.

The best hot glue hack is using Denatured Alcohol to release its bond instantly. Try it. Another hack, it's good to use a secondary glue to make the bond last. In the joint use half hot glue, half silicone or wood glue.

My most used application for hot glue: mold simple connectors. *Hot glue won't stick to baking paper*, at least it worked with all the slightly translucent paper types (the brownish one wasn't working as well). I solder wires to pins of normal pin headers for example, then put a small dab of hot glue on the baking paper and push the connector in. I try to use an amount of glue so the connector is half done. *This is the most important part* don't try to remove or even move anything until the glue is cold. If you move the paper on still soft glue it will stick even after it has become cold. I then remove the cold connector, put another dab of glue on the paper and push the other side in. After cooling I now have two quite flat sides and the excess left and right can be cut away with flush trim cutters (works much better than a knife). The result looks almost like a factory molded connector including wire kink protection.

Great tips. Turners use hot glue a lot to temporary hold a project to a piece of sacrificial wood attached to the headstock. They also sell different types of hot glue which vary in holding strength. I use hot glue when I am stack cutting on both the scrollsaw and like you did on the bandsaw. My wife and daughter use it for scrap book work. Pretty versatile tool. I think I have 4 or 5 laying around that I picked up from thrift stores. Thanks for even more ideas on their use.

I have been known in our home for hot gluing everything...but I have noticed that hot glue does have it's limits. Like when I hot glued our family name to our front door in Michigan, the letters started falling off, I'm assuming due to the cold temperature or possibly the moist air? It also rewarms when used on anything that might get warm ie lighting or anywhere near a warm area like near an oven in the kitchen. I will always use hot glue for projects, but you do have to be careful where using it. ;)
