Glue Guns

LolaLemon

Hello all!

I now have a real need for getting a glue gun, before if was always just a want. So didn't really take notice if them when they had been in lidl . My local mr t didn't have any when I looked last night.

What gun do u have and Why should I get that one?
I don't have a lot if money, only have one craft shop for miles that I will be visiting later today, but their is always the internet.

i bought one a few years ago from the works for £4.99 it came in a case with sbout 6 glue sticks.
im not sure how good it was brandwise as ive never used another one before so nothing to compare it to. but it worked perfectly for all the jobs that i needed it for.

ive no idea if they still stock them but its worth a try.
failing that, im not sure if wilkinsons may sell them? or if you have a hobbycraft nearby (although hobbycraft is usually a last resort or treat for me as i find it expensive!)

I got mine from Amazon Marketplace for £4.99 in Augustish - it is only a "mini" but I don't know the difference.

Saw one today for £3 in TK Maxx - again a mini.

Hobbycraft had them for around £10 when I got mine.

Although when I needed some more glue in a hurry I bought the Hobbycraft mini glue sticks for about £2 and they don't quite fit my gun (they do if I squish em!) so it might be an idea to check what size it will take and see if they're easily available.

My localish craft shop only stocked one, for £9.99 that came with 2 glue sticks. Going to have a look online tomorrow when at work.
Hoping one if my friends will have one lurking somewhere for me to borrow til I get my own.

Hi LolaLemon, Got mine from Wilkinsons along with the glue sticks. Think it was around the fiver mark - small but does the job.
Have a look in the craft/card bit of the store.

I got my glue gun in home bargains for £4.99 glue sticks are a decent price too. I don't know how it compares to others but I'm happy enough with it.
