My sister told me that glue guns don't glue permanently. I'm building a dollhouse, and I want permanent glue. Does it depend on the glue stick used?

It really depends on what type of glue sticks you are using. All glue sticks are not created equally, there is a huge variety that ranges from crafting all the way to industrial, all in the form of a glue stick. The average glue sticks you find in the craft or dollar stores are typical for the average craft project, however, if you are using them for anything else that requires strength and permanence, your best bet is to order online from a specialty house. Especially with a dollhouse. The better quality glue you use the less likely you are to make a mess with them, since they burn quicker, easier to control and are more free-glowing, you don't have to use as much. The higher quality ones also don't leave behind all those awful "wax strings" all crafters hate. Do a general web search for "Permanent Seal Glue Sticks", that will begin your search. Here's a website to help get you started that sells a variety of sticks; http://www.gluefast.com/products/hot-melt-glue-sticks.html and www.dickblick.com also has a variety. Note: I'm not an employee of either of the above mention businesses, I simply use their products an can tell you from experience. Hope this helps, good luck!

I don't believe anyone can give a definitive answer, as it depends on the humidity in your house, and whether you've used extra glue in addition to the stuff that's already on it (which I recommend you do, as it makes placement and movement easier). When in doubt, wait another day or two.

They will stay on indefinitely, so why would you want to use glue on them. They stay put on anything.

First let me say I love this glue gun. It takes 7/16 diameter sticks. However, I would get the longer 10 inch glue sticks the mini sticks just are not long enough. Enjoy your glue gun.

The glue dots are not permanent in a sense that you can take them off (similar to the ones that are used for advertisements in the mail or in magazines, when you peel off the coupon or card or perfume sample, there is that gooey stuff that holds them to the card or magazine page). They do have a pretty good hold.

Is that a question? You're looking to spray glue with this gun? I'm not familear with wildwood glue, but any glue would have to be pretty thin and the gun cleaned as soon as you're done spraying. This is just my opinion, I have never sprayed adhesives thru my gun.

Yes, but... the glue is water based. You should use alkyd base paints only.

I am not sure, I think a hot glue gun would be ok, (I think I would ask at a craft store). There are extra pieces to the stand, because there are two ways to assemble it. Maybe you could try it out on a piece you are not using for your stand. I was going to put ribbon on mine, but decided on "simple elegance". Once the cupcakes were on the stand, it looked beautiful! Now I can use the stand again, or sell it because it is still like brand new!

Model glue won't work. You can use epoxy or super glue. Something like Gorilla Glue would also work.

If mixed and applied properly and also clamped well for the recommended period, I would think the glue joint should maintain its bonding strenth for a very long time. The glued surfaces should be smooth, this is not a gap filling adhesive. A number of things could affect the bond such as exposure to water (wood would become damaged). This is my personal opinion, perhaps you could contact Dap and ask them the question.

If you want to use these magnets as anything other than stand-alone, you'll need to adhere it to whatever you're using. I recommend hot glue (the type you use with a hot glue gun). For instance, I made fridge magnets with these. I used the hot glue to attach these to ceramic tiles.

I use the short glue sticks recommended on Amazon and they are perfect. Love mine and use it inside and outdoors.

I had no problems. Just be careful if they are peel and stick. It might melt the glue.

Yep I believe so. I have two glue guns & the one you mentioned was my 2nd. I just used the same glue sticks from my stash. Jo

I would think an ordinary glue stick would be just fine. What I was using them for didn't require that they be glued together.

Some might but we had some that were not sticking to our craft sticks. You could use the Aleene's tacky glue since it turns clear when it dries.

I am not sure this will help because I have only used in situations where I used the glue to build up when my project need height. Example: to give height to paper flowers and cascading flowers. I can't remember getting it on my hands or having to remove it.
