I have need of a portable, low-temperature glue gun for model airplane

standard $5.00 or so ( cheap) glue gun to use with my 12 volt auto
battery. I know I can put a converter on, but , for a variety of
reasons, I'd rather not do that. thanks, Rich


As if this isn't cheap enough.....

I could recommend a more expensive butane shrink wrap tool,
but you could also pull out a BIC and flick the stick.

I think I'd rather use cyanoacrylate instead of hot glue for in-field model
repairs.

of course,if you're using a 12VDC-110VAC converter,then you can also use
your Dremel,charge NiCd packs,etc.
it would also be available for emergency use elsewhere.
