So I searched for glue gun repair, glue gun fix, and hot glue gun, but couldn't find anything. Anyways, for the past couple of days, I noticed that my glue gun would eat up glue sticks while not putting out hardly anything. Also, I have accidentally left it on for long periods of time, so I probably destroyed something because of that. Well, today it finally stopped working, and I was wondering if it was worth/possible to fix.

blurry cell phone pic.

The glue had leaked into the guts of the gun and glued the trigger shut. Is there any way to fix this leak?

Thanks in advance.

Toss it in the freezer and snap that shit out. Don't know that that will fix it but hot glue doesn't like the cold.

They cost ... what? Four dollars for the large size? Two dollars for the small?

I would throw away the electrical parts, and see if I could make a blaster using the shell and trigger.

I'm gonna have to go with JSB on this one. It isn't even worth the trouble to fix it unless it has sentimental value for some odd reason...

Yes, on second thought I retract my previous statement.

Alright then, I see your point. Mainly I didn't feel like going to buy a new one, since its -10 with windchill in central Ohio. Thanks everyone.

And JSB, maybe an eliminator would fit in there. Hmm.

What I did with one of my many broken mini glue guns that stopped feeding glue..(same thing it started feeding into the gun instead of out the tip. Is chaved the protective don't burn yourself shelding and I now use it solely to burn the tips of stefans.

big fuckin whoop, -10, get your ass out there, up in canada last month it was -39 and we still had to do shit like it was a normal day, quit your bitchin!

Im kinda sorry if that sounds harsh but thats one of the pussiest excuse's I've ever heard.

On topic Just buy a new one, however the dollar store brands suck, get yourself a real glue gun, they are range from 15-30 bucks but they are much more superior to dollar store mini's.

Different places are ready for different conditions. When we got two to three feet of snow in some parts of Washington, nobody could get out of their house, we just flat-out didn't have traction tires or chains.

Meh, just some leak, go buy a new one when you can. Or better yet, use it for melting stefans and switch to epoxy putty!
