I'm impressed that so many folks like using hot melt glue.

I can't stand the stuff, but that may be because of the guns I've used - several, different brands, and a couple were so-called 'industrial quality', with prices to match. They all 'drool' hot glue between uses - so I have to hang them in a coffee can while they are heating or hot. When the can gets an inch or two of melted glue ($$) in it, I start with a fresh one.

That, and the tendrils and threads of glue spread across the work...yuk. Good for sealing up cardboard boxes, though.
