So they're just a gimmick then? Thought so.

They are handy in that the glue doesn't go off with storage. Unlike every
other type I have, after part used.

Rapid high tack strong waterproof bond. You can get that with other
glues too but it is convenient, fast and the glue sticks don't go off
with age (well they might on a geological timescale).

And annoying that the glue sticks intended for different purposes appear
identical, easily mixed up and require you to remember the last job!
Other than that, very useful.

If what you are glueing will not be damaged by heat, you can reheat
them to adjust after it has cooled/set up.

In my model aircraft hobby they are excellent for gluing servos and
other electronic bits in - they dont come off but can be levered off
with some force. They are excellent for gluing crashed foam aircraft
back together - hot glue is stringer than foam

Not a bad glue for large areas of plastic either.

The glue is fast and gap filling and tacks to almost anything but its
not strong.

After you have bought an angle grinder, the glue gun is the next purchase.
1001 uses. Today I used my fancy, new to me, industrial glue gun to make a fishbox watertight.

The main advantage from my point of view is that the glue sets and makes
a firm bond as soon as it cools a bit - so you only have to hold the
components in place for a few seconds.

While the excess glue cools on your skin...

Set in 20 seconds, and form a strong bond that can be separated
relatively easily if required[1].

So when gluing paper / card etc or fabric to timber, you can glue and
move on very quickly.

Also massively useful in a workshop I find, for things like fixing
drawer fronts - a dab of hot melt at each end - push it into the right
place and hold for a few secs, you can now remove/open the draw and
drill / screw though without risk of the position slipping. Or just
fixing a template to something before marking or routing round it.
Same when fixing hinges on boxes - a dab of glue to allow you to
position, but then open the hinge while it stays in place so you can
mark / screw etc.

(hot paint scraper slid between parts, or freezer spay and a sharp tap)

Yup good for bodging stuff together when there are gaps (and perhaps
bits missing) - you can use the much like you might use a welder - the
glue behaves as both glue and filler material.

Also you can "pot" electrical connections, e.g. if you have floppy mains
wires. You can do this to "make safe" cracked bits of rigid plastic that
are holding conductors in things like switches. Also for exclusion of
moisture. You need some undamaged surrounding material to provide the
containment and overall strength.

I think the last thing I did this on was a slow cooker where some of the
the switch lugs had cracked so that it wanted to come out of the main body.

I had a couple with glitter in them, so I assume you could also add colour to your glue.
So could be used as a filler.

Students seem to like to use it or superglue as it's quick setting, you should hear the complaints if they have to wait 10mins for a glue to set.
