Some time ago I bought a mini heated glue gun from Woolworth's. It takes slightly smaller diameter glue sticks than usual.
Trouble with it is that it takes at least a solid 6 or 7 minutes to heat up.
I want to get a full-size glue gun but not if it takes as long as that to heat up.
Can someone here (in the UK) tell me how long it takes for their glue gun to heat up.
This is quite normal, both my mini gun and my full sized one take about that long. Even heavy duty pro versions take around 5 minutes to come up to temperature.
I'd say that is good. Some 'Pro' guns can take 15 minutes or so to reach full working temperature.

Sounds normal to me - mine are the same, even, pardon the expression, my big one!

For some quick jobs, I find a lighter simpler.
Take a glue-stick, warm the end over a lighter (keeping it moving), and then just dab it onto the things to be glued. Of course, this is hardly suitable for everything.
