5 Surprising Uses of Glue Guns That You Didn’t Know About

1. Create new friction for slippery shoes

Slippery shoes can be unsafe while walking.

Use a glue gun to draw parallel lines on the sole of the shoes to create new friction for the old shoes. 

Now, you can be more confident with comfortable and sturdy shoes. 

2. Glue wax onto matchsticks to fix small details

When using wax to fix small details like earrings or decorative accessories… you only need to use a small amount of glue. However, because the glue amount is small, it dries quickly, making it difficult for you to stick. To overcome this, you can still use wax but need a little “trick” as follows:

Then, light the matchstick as usual, when the matchstick burns to the glue, the glue will heat up and make the dry glue melt again. 

At this point, you will find it much easier to use the wax on the top of the matchstick to attach small details. 

3. Reduce impact for doors

Spray a quantity of glue on two positions near the door handle. This wax will create a cushioning point to reduce collision when the door closes. 

Now, the door is “quieter”! 

4. Create edges for slippery hangers

Use wax to shoot additional raised edges on the hangers. 

Hangers with “support points” will help the clothes hangers not slip off anymore.
