How to use
Preparation
Fit the metal stand onto the front of the hot melt glue gun in the slots by the nozzle. Load a Bostik HG3 Hot Melt Glue Stick through the grip ring at the rear of the gun and press the trigger several times until the stick is positioned firmly in the gun.
Plug in the gun and a light will come on at the rear to indicate that it is in operation. Then, rest the gun on its stand and allow to warm up for approximately 5 minutes. Ensure surfaces to be bonded are clean and dry.
Application
Press the trigger until adhesive flows from the nozzle. To ensure a continuous flow of glue, insert further glue sticks into the rear of the gun and wait a few minutes until the stick has heated to the correct temperature. DO NOT FORCE THE TRIGGER.
Apply adhesive to one surface. Press surfaces together within 15 seconds. Use of a clamp or other holding device is not necessary.
Unplug the hot melt gun when finished and allow to cool before storing. Surplus glue stick may be trimmed off using a sharp knife. Do not pull glue sticks from the back of the gun as damage may occur.
How to remove
The adhesive can only be removed mechanically once cured by scraping carefully with a blade edge.
A residual thin film will remain, which can then be removed using a solvent cleaner.
Sensitive surfaces may be damaged by the hot adhesive or by the solvents used in the cleaning process. Always carry out a test before attempting removal.
