Tool: Arrow TR-550 Hot Melt Glue Gun

What’s hot and sticky and dries in 15 seconds? …I don’t know either. This is my Arrow TR-550 Hot Melt Glue Gun and I have it for those applications when I need an instant bond. The TR550 is Arrow Fastener’s best Lever Feed Glue Gun.

Experience:

A while back I remember using this gun on the job installing trim. I can’t remember now if it was for a temporary bond on Fypon moldings or what. I haven’t brought my Arrow Hot Glue Gun to work in ages but I’ve been through boxes of glue sticks with this tool. Once upon a time, I found a case of really long glue sticks and I’ve since used them all.

In the past week I’ve dusted off my glue gun for a recreational purpose: Instantly adhering plastic army men onto a board for plinking. Actually they’re Cowboys and Indians and the horses just wouldn’t stand still without sticky feet.

What’s there to say about a Hot Glue Gun? I know they sell slow-set glues but I’ve only used this tool for quick-setting bonds. I’ve never found the adhesives to stick to anything. Maybe paper or the occasional child’s craft project. Like gluing little figures to a board.

Watch out for the dripping glue, It’s hot!
