What goes wrong with such guns?
Probably overheated and then the resistor block inside goes skew and
blocks
the melt flow path. While molten but switched off , a rod through the
nozzle
hits something solid , probably ceramic of a wire-wound. When powered,
pushing a hot-melt rod in the entry hole, little exudes from the nozzle,
requiring greater force than usual, outer housing seems to have expanded
a
bit as well.
When I get a new one , this one will have a PM, but in the meantime , if
anyone has been inside one before.

Fixing a Jubilee clip, while hot, around the nose seems to have fixed it,
presumably the heater block realigned itself, but time for a new one
anyway.

What is a Jubilee Cap????
