Default How long for glue gun to heat up?

Some time ago I bought a mini heated glue gun from Woolworth's. It
takes slightly smaller diameter glue sticks than usual.

Trouble with it is that it takes at least a solid 6 or 7 minutes to
heat up.


For some quick jobs, I find a lighter simpler.

Take a glue-stick, warm the end over a lighter (keeping it moving), and
then just dab it onto the things to be glued.
Of course, this is hardly suitable for everything.
