The Surebonder "Cool Shot" system is a specialized tool engineered for safety and the handling of extremely heat-sensitive materials. While standard craft guns reach temperatures that can damage delicate surfaces, this 10W unit is calibrated to a much lower thermal threshold. This makes it a practical choice for projects involving balloons, thin tissue paper, or delicate foams that would otherwise melt or pop upon contact with standard hot glue.
The chassis is built with heat-resistant polymers and is optimized for "Ultra Low Temp" 0.27-inch mini glue sticks. Because of the lower operating temperature, the adhesive reaches its solid state faster than high-heat glues, which can speed up assembly for certain crafts. It is important to use sticks specifically labeled for low-temp use, as standard all-purpose sticks may not melt completely at this unit's lower setting.
Safety & Use Features
- Significantly reduces the risk of contact burns, making it suitable for supervised use by younger crafters.
- Maintains the structural integrity of thin substrates like balloons and Styrofoam.
- 10W power consumption is highly efficient for light-duty tasks.
For more robust projects like wood repair or furniture assembly, a higher wattage tool such as the Boswell 150W Professional Glue Gun would be more appropriate.
