Glue guns vary by temperature tip type and intended materials—choose accordingly.

Low temperature guns suit delicate materials and foam while high temperature guns bond wood and heavier materials more securely. Interchangeable tips allow precision or broad coverage. Use glue sticks rated for your gun and keep a stand and drip tray to protect surfaces. For frequent crafting choose a model with adjustable temperature and quick heat up time to improve workflow.
