Are hot glue guns the work of the devil?  I watch people use them on You Tube all the time and I swear that they have asbestos hands.  It’s either that or they are really good at pretending they are not crying both on the inside and outside.  You can’t tell me  when they touch a molten surface directly after application there isn’t at least a little screaming going on.  Maybe they hold it in, but really?  That stuff hurts.  Not only does it burn, but it doesn’t stop burning just because it cools off.  Once it has adhered itself to your skin, you might as well just call 911.  It’s gonna leave a mark.

I’m a wimp.  I’m willing to admit it.  That’s why I bought the finger tips for hot glue.  Those should work great if you are using those three fingers.  Today I used the right finger with the silicone tip and still burned myself.  That’s a gift folks..not everyone can accomplish a feat like that.  Also, if you just happen to use another finger, you’re screwed.  I must be challenged, because I forget to use the finger with the silicone tip on it and go straight for the third degree burn.  I have so many projects lined up that involve hot glue.  Darn it.  I even own a low temp hot glue gun.  They might as well advertise it as “this will never work.”  My glue got hard before I even got it on the surface I was gluing.

I’m starting to see a trend here.  It may not be the hot glue after all.  Maybe I am, in fact, the problem.  Oh, who is ever going to believe that one.  (Besides me.)
