hot glue
Craft gun ammunition
Hot glue is a thermoplastic adhesive applied in molten form using a glue gun, then hardening as it cools.
It bonds quickly to most surfaces—paper, fabric, wood, plastic—making it a staple for crafts and quick repairs: She hot-glued the sequins onto the costume.
The bond is strong but can be peeled or remelted with heat.
