Hot Glue Tip #1: If you glue your finger, hand, or any other appendage to your project, don’t panic. That burning sensation will fade away eventually. (As you’re waiting for it to fade, think about how great it is for reminding you that you’re alive!)
Hot Glue Tip #2: Once the burning sensation has subsided, don’t rip your project off your appendage. (Unless you want to feel alive some more.) Gently roll your project off your appendage. Or, just leave it there and stay decorated!
Hot Glue Tip#3: If you cut yourself with your craft knife, a blob of hot glue will stop the bleeding very nicely. (But again, there’s a great feeling of aliveness involved.)
Hot Glue Tip #4: If you have a glue string coming out the end of your glue gun, don’t pull and pull on it for several minutes, unless you want a huge spiderweb to appear.
Hot Glue Tip #5: After you have unplugged your hot glue gun and waited a few minutes, don’t use your fingers to check and see if it’s cool enough to put away.
