RAPID EG130 Low Temperature Glue Gun, 130°C Maximum Temperature, 9mm Oval Glue Sticks, Silicone Nozzle Protection (40303000)

This is how far I got with my balloon display before the gun stopped working. Glue stopped coming out but even when it did it was slow and hard to work. Very disappointed.

Quality machine comfortable to use and hold with a decent handle Takes a while to heat up and melt the glue sticks but worth being patient as the low temperature makes working with hot glue less painful when you accidentally get some on you. Also very handy for certain crafts which can be damaged by heat.

Really poorly made and does not work. Glue sticks get stuck then the glue doesn’t come out. Waste of money tbh.

"Rapid" may sound like one of those made-up names that Asian firms invent to pass-off unbrandsd goods, but don'r be misled. 'Rapid Electronics' is a well-known and well-respected British firm, supplying a huge range of good quality items to the electronics and educational markets. This little glue gun is typical - inexpensive, no-frills and not suitable for intensive use, but excellent for a hobbyist. It uses OVAL low-temperature glue sicks which produce the opalescent finish that you'll often see in shell-craft. I particularly like the fact that the glue doesn't readily stick to the casing - unlike high-temperature hot glue - so it doesn't need cleaning every few days. Two small niggles: it has no LED to show that it's switched on, which could be a hazard in educational settings, and it doesn't come with any glue sticks - you'll have to buy a full pack before you can test the gun properly, and the ones supplied by Rapid aren't cheap. However the gun does exactly what it advertises, no more and no less so. in the right environment, it represents good value for money.

Good price and great little product for home crafting. Bought this to make homemade Santa sleigh selection boxes for the kids in our family and they went down a storm!

After a while the glue gun gets hot. I use them for balloons decorations and because of the heat of the glue, my balloons end up popping. After an hour it becomes hot.

Gun did not work at all this is the first time I use it and glue got stock inside the gun. Can someone get back to me please?

Really good for using on balloons and low heat craft projects and decorations.
