Opacity – The Adtech glue sticks say they are crystal clear and look different from the Surbonder and Gorilla glue sticks. Gorilla Hot Glue bonds most plastics, but may not work well on certain difficult to bond plastics, such as polyethylene (PE) and polypropylene (PP), or rubbers with high oil or plasticizer content.

Then I'll do a pull apart comparison with pliers and give an unprofessional guess on how they compare. The super glue even works excellently on vertical surfaces and materials that require high flexibility. Strength – My strength testing was quite unscientific, but I found the Gorilla glue to be superior on wood to wood bonding, while the Adtech somewhat surprisingly was quite superior on plastic to plastic adhesion in the first round of testing. The easy squeeze trigger and long insulated nozzle allow a precise application on whatever project you are working on.Change country: -Select- Albania Andorra Australia Austria Belarus Belgium Bosnia and Herzegovina Brazil Bulgaria Canada Cyprus Czech Republic Denmark Estonia Finland France Georgia Germany Gibraltar Greece Guam Guernsey Hong Kong Hungary Iceland Ireland Italy Japan Jersey Latvia Liechtenstein Lithuania Luxembourg Macedonia Malaysia Malta Moldova Monaco Montenegro Netherlands New Zealand Norway Poland Portugal Puerto Rico Republic of Croatia Romania San Marino Serbia Singapore Slovakia Slovenia South Africa South Korea Spain Sweden Switzerland Taiwan Thailand Turkey United Arab Emirates United Kingdom United States Vatican City State Vietnam Virgin Islands (U. Of course I would need some form of tension puller with dials for each side of blocks of wood with eyelets to pull test, displacement amount indicator for acurate globs of glue, etc. Another difference between hot melt rubber and acrylic adhesive is if you fold tape over making the two adhesive sides touch the acrylic adhesive will remain attached to the carrier (e. The clear adhesive works with both high and low temperature glue guns and features an Extended working time for added convenience for all types of projects. If glue gun still does not work, the internal fuse of the glue gun may be blown and the glue gun is not repairable.

Heat – This was the test I was most interested in because I have lost many a project to the scalding heat of my front door. They're ideal for adhering a wide range for materials from wood, metal, fabric and leather to ceramics and most plastics. Gorilla Hot Glue is not recommended for direct or indirect food contact and should not be considered food safe. Manufacturer assumes no responsibility for consequential or indirect damages from the use of this product. Not sure about the 45 second working time, but it does seem to be longer than other brands I've used.While it has good initial adhesion it does take 24-48 hours to cure and to achieve its maximum bond strength (has gradual adhesion buildup). I bought the mini ones over a year ago, the one thing i do know is it sticks to magnets better, what i really want to know is it's "melting" point vs regular glue sticks.

Gorilla Epoxy has a superior solvent and water resistance, as well as being incredibly strong and durable for household and automotive repairs alike. Gorilla Hot Glue is also weather-resistant and 5X more durable (compared to leading hot glue sticks used in high-temperature guns).Solid glue sticks are melted with the hot tip of the gun, and the trigger switch is used to control the flow of melted glue to the surfaces you're sticking. I would like to do a more in depth comparison with different sticks from different companies but time and finances prevents that. It has lower heat resistance, shear resistance, and sometimes UV resistance than an acrylic adhesive. The real secret of using Hot Glue is to regulate the temperature so the glue so it barely melts the foam surface .

Craft Glue Dots are the perfect solution when you are adding extra dimension to your craft projects – especially cards and scrapbooks! The Adtech glue sticks lean to a bluer hue, while the Surebonder and Gorilla glue lean more toward yellow.medium to low heat with the old glue stick and now need to find something to make and use it up and stick a gg stick in. I've been using the gorilla hot glue sticks lately for flite test foam board planes and have been very happy with the results.
