Hot glue sticks for raw wood

I have some glue sticks that I have been using.



I did not keep the packaging.



My glue gun is adjustable to a range of temperatures.



My gun is set to 180 degrees C.



I have been using it on raw wood for quite a while and am happy with the results.



But I am not sure if I am getting the strongest bond possible.



Is there a way to tell if my glue sticks are for wood?



Thanks.

I think PVA glues are recommended. They are also cheapest. Not sure all hot melts are not as suitable as some like polyolefins may not bond chemically.

My post was about hot glue sticks, but when my Gorilla wood glue is empty, I will look for a PVA glue.
