Glue Guns and Sticks
Glue sticks are cylinder shaped and designed for use with hot melt glue guns. They are available in a variety of diameters and glue strengths, in both clear and amber colour, with rapid drying rates and immediate tamper-resistant seals created. Hot melt glues are generally stronger than water-based adhesives and, therefore used in many industries and manufacturing processes, as they adhere to a wide variety of materials including:
Paper – Fabric – Plastics – Wood – Ceramic – Foam 
Glue guns are required for the application of hot melt glue, available in many options, light duty to industrial heavy duty, electric or battery operated, motorized glue guns are available for high volume packaging applications.

Spray Adhesives
3M Spray adhesive is available in pressurized (aerosol) cans, it is applied as a sprayed mist, and can be used for a temporary or permanent bond. For a temporary bond use a lighter strength adhesive and apply the mist to one surface, immediately bonding to the other surface. For a permanent bond apply a higher strength adhesive, coating both surfaces with the mist, and allow it to begin to dry before bonding the two surfaces together.(Length of time depends on glue strength see individual can for instruction). It is available in a variety of strengths, and can be used in many lightweight or heavy-duty applications, bonding papers, foils, plastics or fabrics to themselves or to foam, cardboard, metal, wood or fiberglass surfaces.
