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. I want to get a full-size glue gun but not if it takes as long as that to heat up. Can someone here (in the UK) tell me how long it takes for their glue gun to heat up. |

This is quite normal, both my mini gun and my full sized one take about that long. Even heavy duty pro versions take around 5 minutes to come up to temperature. -- Grunff |

Can someone here (in the UK) tell me how long it takes for their glue gun to heat up. I'd say that is good. Some 'Pro' guns can take 15 minutes or so to reach full working temperature. sponix |

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. |

Trouble with it is that it takes at least a solid 6 or 7 minutes to heat up. I have one (the smaller 6mm one) which died on me last week, it took about 5 minutes to heat up. The one I replaced it with takes a couple of minutes, significantly faster I want to get a full-size glue gun but not if it takes as long as that to heat up.
