ColdHeat Glue Gun Review
The gun was light-weight and easy to handle. It came partially charged. After about 5 minutes of use, it needed to
be re-charged. Recharging takes a few hours, so I used that time to prepare my project.
The glue flowed smoothly and easily. Once dry, it held fast. On a test piece, the cork could
not be pulled loose from the cardboard it was glued to. I was very happy with the strong bond.
It works at a low heat, so I didn't have to worry about burns. I used about 3.5 glue sticks
for this project (which were included in the box).
The glue is very fast-drying. This means that I had to work quickly. When working on a large area, I found
that I needed to glue a small area at a time. It was not possible to glue the entire perimeter of the board at once; the glue
was drying before I finished laying down the glue.
I loved the fact that the glue gun was cordless. The glue gun heated up quickly (just a minute
or two) - another plus.
Overall, I was very happy with the glue gun.
