What's the difference between hot and cool melt glue guns?
Hot melt glue guns and sticks are the strongest and most durable of the glues available but require care in their use as they can burn very easily. Cool melt glue guns and sticks work at a lower temperature and so are safer to use but must still be used with caution.

Can you use hot melt glue sticks in a cool melt glue gun?
Low Melt glue sticks operate at a lower temperature and are therefore safer to use, as risk of burns are reduced. You should never use Tecbond Low Melt glue sticks in a hot melt glue gun (or hot melt glue sticks in a low melt glue gun) unless specifically directed by a member of the GlueGunsDirect team.
Is there such thing as a cold glue gun?
Bostik Craft Cool Melt Glue Gun provides a strong bond on most materials in seconds, with the lowest possible glue melt temperature. It's ideal for craft projects including delicate substrates, as well as floristry and model making.
Which is better hot or cold glue gun?
A low temperature glue gun will provide a strong bond but not destroy delicate material such as; lace, foil, ribbon, lightweight fabric and floral foam. A high temp gun will provide a strong but tougher bond for heavier material such as; metal, wood, plastics, ceramics, magnets and all non porous material.13 Feb 2018

Does heat make glue stick better?
In most cases, it's the cooling and drying process that causes adhesives to become stiff and create a solid bond. Extreme heat applied to a solid bond can still decrease the solidity, stiffness, or “toughness” of the hot melt and lead to the substrates sliding apart as the adhesive's hold gives out.
