5. Operating Instructions

1. Prepare Surfaces: For optimal adhesion, ensure the surfaces to be bonded are clean, dry, and free from dust, oil, or grease.
2. Apply Glue: Once the glue gun is preheated, gently squeeze the trigger to dispense a small amount of molten glue onto one of the surfaces.
3. Join Materials: Immediately press the two surfaces together firmly. Hold them in place for a few seconds until the glue sets. The glue sets quickly, so work efficiently.
4. Continuous Use: As you use the glue, the stick will shorten. Insert a new glue stick into the back of the gun to push the remaining stick forward.

6. Usage Tips

• For the strongest bond, ensure surfaces are clean, dry, and free from dust or oil.
• To remove hot glue, apply a small amount of denatured alcohol along the glue edge. This can help loosen the bond for easier removal.
• Practice on scrap materials before applying to your main project.

7. Maintenance and Storage

• Cleaning: Do not attempt to clean the nozzle of a hot glue gun while it is hot. Allow it to cool completely. Any dried glue on the nozzle can usually be carefully peeled off once cool.
• Storage: Store unused Tilswall Colored Mini Hot Glue Sticks in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Keep them in their original packaging to protect them from dust and damage.

8. Troubleshooting

• Glue Not Melting: Ensure the glue gun is properly plugged in and has had sufficient time to preheat (3-5 minutes). Verify the glue stick is fully inserted.
• Poor Adhesion: Check that surfaces are clean, dry, and free of contaminants. Apply glue quickly and press surfaces together immediately after application.
• Glue Stringing: This is common with hot glue. Try quickly pulling the glue gun away from the project after releasing the trigger. A quick wipe of the nozzle can also help.
