Does hot glue dry harder when it's out of a high-temp hot glue gun or low-temp hot glue gun?

Neither, they are about the same hardness. Any differences are probably just due to different brands of glue.

Try rubbing on it. That might make it harder.

Well if your making stefans i'd use a low temp gun. When I use my high temp gun it seems to burn the stefans.Just a bit of advice.

IMO, hot glue shouldn't be used on mods at ALL. It's just not very strong, it's kind of a cheap cop-out if you ask me. In my opinion if it's not bolted together, it's just gonna break.

Do not use hot glue in mods to hold things together.

Do use it to make sure you have an airtight seal.

I usually hot glue around all my joints when I do barrel replacements just to make sure there aren't any leaks. Even if I have epoxy in the actual joint.
