martin collins 1 Posted October 23, 2022 Share Posted October 23, 2022 My gluegun is beginning to pee me off, i only bought it a few months ago and it has a habit of switching the heat off, presumably some sort of thermal overload, once it has cooled sufficiently it heats up again. But more often than not when i pick it up to use it to glue another part the glue has gone cold and it wont come out of the nozzle or it as almost cold and you get a dribble that is only warm and no use to man nor beast. I end up switching it off leaving it ten minutes and then switching on and waiting for it to heat up. Tell me this is not the norm and if not please point me in the direction of a GOOD glue gun which uses 11mm sticks before i pull all my hair out 🤬 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flight1 Posted October 23, 2022 Share Posted October 23, 2022 well if you want a pro gun then this will do you well . mind you there are cheaper that work ok, i've got a mini one from lidl with 7mm sticks , it works ok but a bit inaccurate with glue application.(the nozzle needs to be longer) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Wills 2 Posted October 23, 2022 Share Posted October 23, 2022 Bosch PKP 18 E is a good lower priced option 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stephen Jones Posted October 23, 2022 Share Posted October 23, 2022 I have had a Lidl glue gun for years never had any problems with it also a diy shop bought one no issues . Sounds like you got a duff one. just go and get a cheap one from anywhere if it is if occasion use. If you are going to be using it all day every day then buy a professional one. Its true you get what you pay for. Steve. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SIMON CRAGG Posted October 23, 2022 Share Posted October 23, 2022 Titan version from Screwfix. Gets VERY hot, which allows slightly more working time. Glue sets like concrete. I have tried a few and this is the best by far!. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dad_flyer Posted October 23, 2022 Share Posted October 23, 2022 I have the Bosch one. I find the long thin nozzle very helpful. It can deliver a lot of glue nice and hot for long glue lines on big wings. Sometimes it can be a bit too hot if it has had a rest, and melts the foam back more than I would like. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martin collins 1 Posted October 23, 2022 Author Share Posted October 23, 2022 Thanks for all the suggestions, both the Screwfix and Bosch ones look like possibles, i will investigate further. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
