Hello Bobby G., and the other guys posting here. today my Stanley professio
nal glue gun stopped up. I fooled with it about ten minutes, boiled water a
nd soaked the nozzle, that did nothing. I threw it in the trash. I have an
old Craftsman EZ glue gun, I finished my project with that. I hope they(Sea
rs) still carry the glue sticks, they are oval instead of round.
I noticed the plugged glue gun subject turned to the plugged brain subjec
t. Dementia and Alzheimer's, nasty critters. I am 69. I learned several yea
rs ago that consuming extra virgin coconut oil, 4TBS daily will stop and re
verse that sad condition. Research it, while you can.

I wrote that four years ago. Where did you find it?
I trashed mine, too and bought three $10 Surebonder units since I now
consider glue guns "disposable" tools not worth screwing with when they
clog. I also put mine on a sixty minute timer that's plugged into the
shoplite outlet so it can't easily get left on for long periods of time.
They last about two years under such conditions.
I liked the older unit because it was somewhat portable - the gun didn't
have a cord - it had a 110VAC laptop cord type connector at the end of the
handle that sat in the base. You could remove it an it retained enough heat
to do a small job away from the base - or you could just plug in a cord and
use it away from the base. Got some small battery powered glue guns that
are OK for little things - they use thin pencil glue sticks. I can't see
why Craftsman would use non-standard glue sticks. Seems like proprietary BS
meant to force people to buy their sticks.

After a precipitous decline in cognitive functioning as per my neurologist's
tests, I seem to have plateaued and now suffer from *other* aging maladies.
Oh well. I use coconut oil in my coffee, BTW - gives it a nice "kick."
Maybe that's what stopped the decline. It certainly wasn't all the meds
they prescribed which mostly made me nauseated and gave me chest pains. The
joys of modern medicine.

Doesn't that give your coffee sort of an oil slick? I use it instead of
olive oil sometimes for frying effs but haven't figured out what else to do
with it. It doesn't help that around here coconut 'oil' only resembles oil
in August.

I found that isopropyl alcohol (rubbing alcohol will loosen hot glue. If there is a way to put a cotton ball saturated with isopropyl alcohol at the back end of the stuck hot glue and maybe the tip also, the alcohol makes the glue "let go."
