Basically, the higher the temperature, the stronger the attachment is.<\/p>\n<h2>2. Air dust for quick dry<\/h2>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-25574\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/randomnerdtutorials.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/Air-Dust-Hot-Glue-Gif.gif?resize=480%2C270&#038;quality=100&#038;strip=all&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Air Dust Hot Glue Gif\" width=\"480\" height=\"270\" \/><\/p>\n<p>To\u00a0quickly dry the hot glue attachment you can use an air dust can. Just hold the can upside down, press the button and the glue will freeze immediately.<\/p>\n<h2>3. Hairdryer to remodel<\/h2>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-25576\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/randomnerdtutorials.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/Hair-Dryer-Hot-Glue-Gif-1.gif?resize=480%2C270&#038;quality=100&#038;strip=all&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Hair Dryer Hot Glue Gif\" width=\"480\" height=\"270\" \/><\/p>\n<p>If you want to make some adjustments to an existing attachment, you can use an hairdryer to heat and melt existing bonds. Then, with a screwdriver or a stick, remodel the bond. Don&#8217;t use your hands directly, or you can burn yourself.<\/p>\n<h2>4. Bowl with cold water to prevent burns<\/h2>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-25577\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/randomnerdtutorials.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/Cold-Water-Hot-Glue-Gif.gif?resize=480%2C270&#038;quality=100&#038;strip=all&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Cold Water Hot Glue Gif\" width=\"480\" height=\"270\" \/><\/p>\n<p>When using an hot glue gun,\u00a0always have a bowl with cold water next to you. This will prevent burns if the glue ends up on your skin.<\/p>\n<h2>Wrapping Up<\/h2>\n<p>I hope you&#8217;ve found these tricks useful.<\/p>\n<p>Share your own tricks by leaving a comment down below.<\/p>\n<p>You may also like: <a href=\"https:\/\/makeradvisor.com\/best-hot-glue-guns\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Best Hot Glue Gun &#8211; Our Budget and Top Picks<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Thanks for reading.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hot glue is great.
