These Adtech Mini Hot Glue Sticks are made from a versatile polymer blend designed for use in both high and low-temperature glue guns. The 100-pack provides a substantial supply for high-output hobbyist projects. The resin is formulated to remain clear after cooling, which helps maintain a professional look for home decor and craft projects. This material is also resistant to yellowing when exposed to indirect sunlight.
The "Multi-Temp" feature is achieved by balancing the materials so they flow easily at lower temperatures (around 110°C) while still maintaining a strong bond at higher temperatures (around 193°C). This helps reduce the "stringing" or dripping that often occurs with lower-quality sticks. However, users should be aware that the 4-inch length means you will need to reload your glue gun frequently during larger projects. These are "mini" sticks with a 0.28-inch diameter and are not compatible with full-size glue guns.
The glue sets very quickly, usually in less than 30 seconds, which is a significant advantage for fast assembly. It is important to note that the bonds may soften if exposed to temperatures above 54°C, so they are not recommended for items that will be kept in hot environments like a parked car. For the best adhesion on smooth surfaces, it can be helpful to lightly roughen the area before applying the glue.
If you are looking for a stick with even higher clarity or a longer "open time" for careful positioning, you might consider the AdTech 30-count pack for smaller tasks.
A mobile art supply trolley is a great way to keep your glue gun and massive pack of glue sticks organized in your craft room.
