ColdHeat Cordless Glue Gun Review

Gluegun
I haven't used a glue gun in about 10 years. They were messy and hot. I think I burned myself the last time I used it so I've been forever scarred. I just got a new cordless Cold Heat Glue Gun to review which I have been testing out for a new craft project for the blog. One of the main things I wanted to do was glue fabric. (Only non-washable fabric projects can be glued. Don't start fixing hems!) Not only is this glue gun easy to use, it really glues just about anything. It works perfectly with fabric as I wanted and now I'm seriously thinking up other projects that will require me to glue things. The handle fits nicely in your hand and there's no overheating with this thing so your fingers and hands will be burn free. Just know that depending on what you are making, the harder you press on the "trigger", the more glue comes out of it. I found that by lightly pressing the trigger, I got to measure the right amount of glue I need. There's also a neat little spotlight so you can see things better if you need to. They also have a great resource blog with a bunch of tips and tricks on how to fix or make things such as fixing a purse or sneaker, and how to make a corkboard. A great gadget for your craft or tool box. Link.

The rechargeable battery last pretty much all day and lets it go anywhere.

This glue gun has made my crafting life a lot easier. I used it to build almost everything:

I find the cordlessness feature the most useful but also when making items made entirely of colored or glitter glue because of the ease in cleaning.
