Can A Glue Gun Be Used As A Soldering Iron

I will definitely update my instructable with a video of using this very soon.

Can a glue gun be used as a soldering iron. You do not need to go out and buy a plastic welding kit if you already own a soldering iron or station you can begin welding plastic today. Just buy the soldering iron they arent very expensive. Exactly like soldering irons it needs electricity to work.

Conveniently operated with a trigger using one hand a soldering gun is shaped like a pistol and is used for joining metal surfaces. While both tools are used for soldering each has its advantages and disadvantages. Lets take a look at the process.

You can buy conductive adhesive which is used when normal soldering is not practical. I used non medial super glue in a large gash. First heat up your glue gun.

Conductive glue is normally known as wire glue metallic glue or solder glue. A hot glue gun and sticks available at your local hobby store a set of wires with twisted ends. Hot glue gun is a tool with heating element inside like soldering iron.

I used a soldering iron to remove what. Also if you need to do some repair afterwards you can easily remove it all together and reapply some more after the repair. However for other mall jobs soldering iron is used.

If there are eyelets that allow the wires to be inserted and twisted or crimped to make a tight metal-to-metal connection then a hot glue gun might be used to support and maintain the connection. They are designed to be used as a replacement for soldering and contain silver copper iron or some other conductive metal. Dual guns have a switch for both low- and high-temperature use.
