- Why is your glue gun leaking? It could be a couple of things. I get asked this a LOT.
Here's my definitive answer as to why this might be happening. Check out the other videos in the play list if you are having a different problem.

You're the cutest! Thanks for your help, I was definitely using the wrong glue sticks!!! I was recently organizing my glue gun/glue stick drawer and actually separated the glue sticks by color clear and white (thinking they were just different brands!!!!)! Thanks to you, now I know!!!
Yep she's cute
Thank you, thank you! I was going nuts with my Gorilla glue sticks just squirting out of my gun when I pressed the nozzle. It ruined so many projects! I then realized that my glue gun is probably 25 years old!! I don't know if they made low temp in those days! And my Gorilla sticks are all white so that explains so much!! You are a gem!

Sometimes there is an air pocket inside the gun . The air expands and forces the glue out. By pumping the glue out until you hear a pop you can stop most of the dripping then after gluing the item tap the surface a few times with the tip to prevent stringing.
My glue gun is always leaking after using we put aside then again we use it right but my glue comes out continuously any problem please solve
Other than what I talk about in the video, there really isn't any other solution. It's either the glue sticks, or it's broken. Do you have a high temp or low temp glue gun?
MakerHigh I think it's high
Then your trigger is probably broken. You can unplug it and unscrew it. You can try replacing the spring. (I have a video showing what's inside a glue gun). Other than that, I'd suggest a different brand.
MakerHigh suggest me a new brand
@@MakerHighSchool my god I'm reading these comments /questions, did ANYONE WATCH this video or just come on to ask damn questions? I don't know how you do it. I would be talking to these people like the idiots they are. You literally answer each question they are asking you. My answer to every single one? Watch the video. It's faster than waiting for a response.....dumb ass. I'm sorry, I just couldn't help it.
Oh, I’m kinda glad that the leaking is a feature and not a defect on mine! Ngl I feel kinda tempted to test out one of those glue guns with “suction design” feature (to prevent spills) but they’re like the same price as 6 glue guns!!! Waaay too expensive 😢 I’ll just stick to my old glue guns haha
I hear you! Glad the video was helpful. If it makes you feel anybetter, I got sucked into the hype and bought one. Sooooo not worth it. The one I bought, when the glue that got sucked up came out, it was scorching hot. Burned my project. Gave it to someone else. No thank you! 🤣
Thank you for giving a solution for my gluegun problem
Glad you found it useful!
Thank you been reading amazon reviews on researching for a glue gun answered my questions
Happy it was helpful!
Thank you your so adorable soothing voice love your bubbly personality 💛
Aw, thanks. That's sweet of you to say!
Very informative video. I was wondering. I am trying to fix my moms old duel temp glue gun. It has an issue with backflow, what I mean about that it when trying to push the glue stick through it hot glue will travel back up the tube and out from the feeding point. I'm thinking of replacing the pressure spring with one that's more firm since the trigger seems to moves just a bit too quickly when squeezed. Although some glue does come out the end, I feel the gun itself may have a blockage. I have removed a glue stick from it during one of the test and found that the center of the stick was still intact and the outer was nice and melted. Which gets me to thinking about both a possible blockage and too soft of a trigger pull.
My hot glue is not pasting i am trying many way but does not pasting page also not pasting can you tell me what problem in my hot glue gun plz please plz plz plz
Your glue sticks might have too much wax. Try a different brand?
I bought the ryobi cordless glue gun and the glue runs out constantly. I just got it and I’ve used almost a whole glue stick and haven’t actually used it. Just turns it in to try it. Guess I’ll return it and try another.
Oh, man. Such a pain! Good kuck!
Thanks for the suggestions!!! Shopping as I type
Hope it works well for you!
Thank you ma'am
Answered my question perfectly!!
Right on. Thanks for letting me know!
Thank you!
Happy it was helpful!
Your videos are really helpful 👍👍👍👍
Thank you for saying so. It's really encouraging to hear. 👍
My brand new glue gun continuously oozes glue with the sticks that are supplied with it. Frustrating as this is the 3rd one that does this and feel like giving up using glue guns. Can you recommend a brand please?
Hi, sorry for not responding sooner. Yeah, it's happening with a lot of the current glue sticks. The problem is they're putting too much wax in the sticks to make them cheaper.
Before buying a new brand...and this is going to sound really weird...try putting your glue sticks in the freezer (if you have one). It makes the wax melt slower, so it could work. Just make sure you wipe them with a dry cloth before you use them. Let me know how that works, and then I can give other suggestions. 👍
I'm new here ... love your knowledge! AND, you are so pretty. I am a former professional, media makeup artist and would love to know what lipstick you're wearing here? It's beautiful . Thanks for your videos and I will share to my craft community.
Its the sephora brand. It was called brick house. Sadly they don't make it anymore
I am holding the stick and pulling it a little out so it wont leak
You shouldn't be pulling on it. You can break your trigger or assembly. The gun is only designed for the stick to go forward.
My glue in the glue gun is flowing slowly.
And my glue from glue gun is not flowing straightly
Why?
Can you plz say
You might have the wrong kind of glue sticks.
@@MakerHighSchool no wrong
It's best glue stick
Which full size glue gun and sticks do you like?
That's a tough question, tbh. I haven't purchased a new gun in almost 10 years. I have a video on the different types. Since you're commenting on the leak video, I'd suggest getting a dedicated either high or low temp gun with the sticks that go with it and stay away from dual temp. Ad tech used to be really good, but I don't know about tge current quality. Sorry. Wish I were more help.
I just brought a new glue gun and when I switch it on it heats up to the needed temp but after that the glue starts flowing out automatically.. even though I don't want this to happen...and just b'coz of this my half of the glue stick wasted.. What to do?.. Pls
Even now the shopkeeper is not ready to take it back..😫😭😭
Is it a high temp or low temp glue gun?
@@MakerHighSchool I am sorry but I don't know that..😳😳
@@riyasamanta.7290 okay, the first thing you should try is getting high temp glue sticks. There's less wax, so they wont melt as fast.
Okay. Thanks
Ughhhh looks I have a new glue gun in my future... again. I have only had this glue gun for a year. It's the one that takes the jumbo sticks (a much larger than normal sized one. It's about the size of a pistol. Anyway, just wanted to say thank you for the explanation. It's just too bad it isn't closer to Christmas. Lol 😁 Is there a specific glue gun anyone can recommend?
Happy the video was helpful! I wish I could recommend a brand, but I've had problems with most of them. It's sort of a crap shoot if you get one from a good batch or not. Good luck!
My gluegun is leaking through itself, its body. I don't know why. Please help
Edit: I have high temp gluesticks
I sounds like the feeder is jammed. Your best bet is to get a new glue gun. If there were an easy fix that didn't include the risk of electrocution, I'd totally offer it.
@@MakerHighSchool thank you very much!
@@MakerHighSchool i think i have a similar problem. my glue gun was working perfectly fine then lately when I use it, the melted stick backflows so it gets stuck then very little would come out if I push it. i'd like to note also that I used a different glue stick. i was using a different glue stick when it was still working fine (not sure about the temp of this new one looks clear but yellowish?). before when I plug it in, it oozes, but now it doesn't. what could be the problem? i hope you'd notice this so i'd know if it's time to buy a new gun or just the stick is the problem. Thanks!!! 🙏🙏🙏
Do you have a recommendation for a good glue gun with enough consistency to make filigree? I bought a rather cheap one from Joann's, and it has a problem with pooling randomly.
Honestly, I think you'd be better off with a melting pot, and applying with a toothpick or something similar. I have one over on my instamorph video, so you can see what I'm talking about.
There will be stringing, but I use embroidery scissors to clip it off, then hit it with a hair dryer to get rid of bumps and to smooth the edges. Hope that helps.
Do you know what's wrong with my glue gun?
It started acting up just few weeks after I bought it. The glue doesn't come out when the gun is already really hot (like the body itself it way too hot I have to use gloves to be able to use it), even after I push (?) the trigger as hard as I can. And then all of a sudden it starts leaking so much that it can't be controlled anymore.
Please help me 🙏
It's sounds like it might be a problem with your heating element. That can be dangerous, so I'd advise returning it and getting a different one. Glad you were careful. 👍
I bought glue gun just yesterday from online but its leaking.i need to attach straws but thet arent getting attached.plzz tell me anything
If the video didn't help, I'd return the gun. What are you attaching the straws to?
My new glue gun after 2-3times use.. started leaking out from the back side of the gun..☹ now the gun is geting heated up..but the glue stick isnt going inside the gun..n the glue is not also coming out of the gun😭😭😭
There's probably a problem with the heating element not getting hot enough at the tip ( i.e. a clog), or the trigger isn't advancing the glue correctly. Either way, you should return it and get a new one.
Hi, i have glue gun which uses 7 mm dia Glue sticks in it. After my glue gun has become hot, the glue starts coming out like pouring out on the floor and keeps coming out. As you mentioned its normal i guess due to the Hot element in the Glue Gun. Can you just clear it here, is it protecting the glue from burning inside the glue gun so thats y it keeps pouring out due to heat?. Thanks for the video as well.
It should be dripping, not pouring out. If it's pouring out, you gun is too hot for your glue sticks.
MakerHigh yeah it seems the same, but i have one more doubt here, my gun doesn't hold my Glue stick back. It keeps slipping down towards the hot point automatically. I measured my glue stick also,its 6 mm dia not 7 mm so its not being gripped properly. That might be the issue??
Could be. If you get the correct size and it still happens, your spring has come off of your trigger is broken.
MakerHigh thanks for your responses..
Sure!
My glue gun is leaking too... i bought it online... da descrptn gven is "Variable Heat Setting-No"
I cant understand wether its high temp or low... how do i knw dat???
You should have some kind of switch to flip back and forth. What brand is it?
M from india.... i orderd it frm an online sight here... da company says avyukt fashion....
N actually deres no switch...
I'm looking at some glue guns that sound similar. Some of them have a know or screw you can use to adjust the heat.
If you still can't change the temp, I would stick with the high temp glue sticks to minimize the leaking. Good luck!
Okay.... thanx fr da help... il check it out😊
Anytime!
My glue gun is also leaking. But if very more than i pull glue stick slightly out
Exactly same problem.... My glue leaks itself and it's a wastage of glue sticks 😢
Hope the info in the video helped. 👍
@@MakerHighSchool no, this video did not helped😢 u gave some new reasons & some ideas) but I want ti know some ways to resolve too much leaking glue (even after unplugging the switch) problem technically (probably its heater, or tightening or losing any screw or wire inside it).
Hello..actually i have a problem with mine,glue doesn't come easily out of the glue gun,and the flow is too thin,and it dries so damn fast before i do what i want to do,i don't know if it is that high temp/low temp thing,i will check i didn't know about that before,i was thinking of buying a new one but,maybe you can help me understand what's wrong
chances are you have a low temp glue gun and you're using high temp glue. You might also want to look at the surebonder 6000. You can change out the nozzles to have more glue come out at once. (This is an affiliate link, but it's WAY shorter than the regular url, so sorry about that) amzn.to/2Ibbbny Here are the nozzles you can change out on it. Hope that's helpful info! Let me know if you have any more problems.
MakerHigh thanks,thanks a lot.i'll check out everything you just said,and i will let you know,thanks again.
Anytime. Good luck!
adtech. no drip.
These can be great if you get one from a good batch. I have heard of some that leak not just from the nozzle but from around the nozzle and out the back as well. It just depends on what quality control is like that day. I'm really glad you got a good one!
Do you know what is the problem? My glue gun heats but the glue doesn't comes out
I have a video called why won't my glue stick melt. Faster than typing. 👍
Thanks. This was so informative. Glue is coming out the back end of my glue gun.(sigh) Do you know what is causing this?
Sorry, was working on the video that went up today. There could be a clog in the heating element, OR the glue sticks could be a millimeter too large (so they're melting when they hit the element, but not feeding. It's usually the first problem.
My glu gun is leaking I don't know what to do
If it's not covered in the video, you may have to get a new one.
Best person
Aw, thanks!
