Apply the adhesive to a single side.
Press the materials you wish to glue together against each
other for around 10 to 30 seconds immediately after apply-
ing the adhesive. It is still possible to correct the bonding
location at this point.
The bond is stable after approx. two minutes of cooling time.
u
Make sure you do not come into contact with the hot
adhesive.
Use a silicone mat to press permeable materi-
als together.
Application tips
Material/workpiece
Recommendation
Long workpieces with large
surface areas
Apply adhesive in dots
Flexible materials
(e.g. textiles)
Apply adhesive in lines
u
Do not use flammable solvents to clean the bonding
locations.
The hot glue could ignite any solvent residue or
release hazardous fumes.
Adhesive residue on clothing cannot be removed.
The bonding locations can be painted.

without any pressure being
applied to the feed trigger.

leaking from the rear of the
glue stick.

and/or
melting point of glue stick is too low
Only use recommended original glue sticks

evenly.
Melting point of glue stick is too low
Wait until the glue gun has finished warming up
Feed is not even
Press the feed trigger slowly and apply even pres-
sure
Bonding surface is only
holding fast in one place.

components were pressed together
Press workpieces together faster
Apply adhesive in glue dots or lines instead of cover-
ing the whole surface
Pre-heat the bonding surface with a heat gun
Bond becomes unstuck
after it cools.
Bonding surface is greasy or too smooth
Remove the grease from the bonding surface or
roughen it a little
Bonding surface is dusty
Clean the bonding surface
Workpiece material is not suitable
Hot melt adhesive is not suitable, use special adhes-
ive

become unstuck.
Moisture is penetrating the bonding loca-
tion
Hot melt adhesive is not suitable, use a cement-
based special adhesive

coming unstuck.

the bonding location
Hot melt adhesive is not suitable, use special adhes-
ive
"Threads" develop as the
glue gun is removed from
the bonding location after
applying adhesive.
Feed trigger is still pressed when the ap-
plication of adhesive is finished
Stop the feed just before finishing applying adhesive
Nozzle has not been wiped clean
