Hot Tip for Glue

"MASH" premiered on this day in 1972. "Hot Lips" and her buddies, Hawkeye and Trapper John, often got into "sticky" situations. This is our sad segue to hot glue sticks and home-improvement "sticky" situations. Do you have a small project that needs light glue or a big job that needs temporary holding power? A hot-melt glue gun just might do the trick. While hot-melt glue is mostly used for arts-and-crafts projects, it's showing up in workshops, too. Glue sticks melted in small electric glue guns yield nifty, easily applied and controlled goo that quickly cools and rehardens to its original solid state. While not necessarily providing the best holding power available, it is good for light-duty gluing or keeping things in place on bigger jobs, while slow-drying super adhesives set up and cure. Keep one in your toolbox and discover the things it can do. And that's the On The House tip for today.
