The glue gun is a handy tool for artist and crafters.
The electric glue gun uses a heating element to melt a stick of plastic glue, which can be squeezed out of the heated nozzle. The glue is tacky when hot, but hardens and stops being sticky in a few seconds--a minute at most. Glue sticks are available in several diameters for use with different glue guns.
Be careful when using one of these, as the glue is initially hot enough to burn and blister skin. It may also be worth the extra cost to get a cordless version to avoid cumbersome wires.
