Overview
A trigger feed and an insulated nozzle drive this super low temperature mini glue gun from the Surebonder Cool Shot line. Glue dries in seconds on paper, ribbon, lightweight fabric and other delicate materials used in crafts, art and school projects.
Low heat is what makes the Cool Shot worth a look for school projects and paper crafts, since the insulated nozzle and cooler glue lower the risk to fingers. Bonding stays in the light duty range the maker lists. Refills must be Cool Shot sticks, so stock the right ones.
Who it's for
School projects, scrapbooking and ribbon work where materials are delicate and hands get close to the nozzle. Younger children under the maker's age guidance and anyone with heavy duty repairs should pass.
Pros and cons
- Super low temperature for delicate materials
- Insulated nozzle protects fingertips
- Glue dries in seconds
- Trigger feed for controlled flow
- Requires Cool Shot CS-15 sticks only
- Limited to paper, ribbon and light fabric
- Not recommended under age 14
- Corded, so reach depends on an outlet
Performance notes
Bond strength from a low temperature gun depends on glue made to grab at reduced heat, which is why the maker ties it to its own Cool Shot sticks. Lower melt heat suits thin paper and ribbon, and the maker lists only delicate materials as targets. The trigger feed pushes the stick forward, so glue output follows finger pressure.
