When clearing a recalcitrant hot glue gun, DO NOT get hot glue on your fingers. It's hot: trust me on this..... :banghead:

Yep, two lovely little snake-shaped burns, thankfully on the back of my fingers where they don't get in the way much.... :rolleyes:

Erm, that's WHY they're called 'HOT Glue Guns', the clue is in the first word of the title.......... :o
Kit's Rule 1 ) Any aircraft can be improved by fitting longer wings, and/or a longer fuselage
Kit's Rule 2) The backstory can always be changed to suit the model

...and I'm not a closeted 'Take That' fan, I'm a REAL fan! :)

Yes, I know, but it wasn't feeding any glue, hot or otherwise. Then as I was fiddling with it, it suddenly splurged a load out, some of which went on me.

Actually, I think the key word is the last one in the title: GUN.  When clearing a stoppage, always keep it pointed in a safe direction......

Why am I suddenly thinking Elmer Fudd trying to clear a blockage in his shotgun?

Pretty accurate mental image, but without Elmer's gazelle-like grace and serene self-composure.........

Somehow that always got Elmer in the face. You were much more fortunate.
