Me either. It may be that Mr. V. isn’t very familiar with glue guns. I think there are some low heat ones, but I doubt they splatter the glue like that. That’s hot !! Yikes!!

Wow…. even LOW melt glue, which is what most people use for floral and other crafts involving cloth, is hotter than boiling water and sticks to the skin in a heat-retaining blob!
The more old-fashioned hot melt glue causes 3rd degree burns!
Yeah, I’m thinking the cartoonist doesn’t realise how horrible that would be…
and how likely to get in poor Gene’s eyes.

Hey, do you think Gene will bail her out?

When I bought one of the first small, inexpensive glue guns for craft use,
they were all high-melt.
It didn’t have an on-off switch, so you had to control the flow with finger pressure on the glue stick or rear aperture.
I never had spatters like that…. but the melted glue was runny and dripped from the nozzle.
When you pulled it away from the work, it stretched like rubber cement, making strings that stuck to everything and could burn your skin.
It made such a mess I gave it away.

Bev — another emoticon, I see…. did you use a glue gun to put it in there?
