I use regular glue sticks and a 40 watt gun. One of these days I hope to
find an 80 watt gun but just because it will speed up the heating process.
The regular glue gun and glue sticks work well for me.

By the way George, face plates came first, I believe, and chucks imitate the
actions of facepaltes and glue blocks. That said, a chuck is often a useful
item.
