: I'm not sure what you mean hot glue would be adequate for but if you mean
: adequate for glueing the strips together, I can't imagine how anyone could
: successfully glue strips with hot glue. It hardens very fast so joining
: more than a foot or two before it sets would be hard. It is also gets
: thick as soon as it starts to cool so getting the strips tight to each
: other would be hard (it cools pretty fast). Finally, it is messy and you
: end up with lots of it outside the joint which you then have to get rid
: of. Well that's just my opinion, maybe you should try glueing a few test
: strips to decide for yourself (try getting rid of the excess as part of
: the test too.)

Sorry I was not clear. I meant using hot melt glue to fasten strips to the mold to avoid using staples.
