Hot Glue Sticks for Glue Guns Rapid Oval 7×13 mm — Gold and Silver

Rapid Hot Glue Sticks Rapid Oval 7×13 mm in Gold and Silver are thermoplastic adhesive sticks with an oval profile designed for compatible glue guns. These metallic-colored glue sticks provide a gold or silver finish after application, making them suitable for decorative work and visible seams. The 7×13 mm oval cross-section fits glue guns that accept elongated sticks and melts to produce a clear, tacky adhesive suitable for a range of light assembly, craft and repair tasks.

Advantages

Oval profile ensures stable feeding in glue guns that accept non-cylindrical sticks and increases surface contact for bonding. Metallic gold and silver colours allow for visible decorative joints without additional paint or coating. Rapid thermoplastic formulation melts consistently at typical glue gun temperatures, giving reliable flow and adhesion on porous and non-porous materials. Sticks are supplied in ready-to-use lengths compatible with standard manual and cordless glue guns specified for this diameter.

Suitable for

• Crafts and DIY decoration where a gold or silver finish is desired
• Paper, cardboard and lightweight packaging repair and reinforcing
• Bonding fabric trims, ribbons and lightweight textiles
• Attaching small wooden or plastic decorative elements
• Temporary fixes and hobby assembly where quick set time is beneficial

Key specifications

• Shape: Oval cross-section
• Dimensions: 7 × 13 mm (diameter profile)

• Material: Thermoplastic hot-melt adhesive
• Compatibility: For use with glue guns that accept elongated 7×13 mm sticks
• Application temperature: Standard low- to medium-temperature hot glue gun ranges

How to use

Insert a glue stick into a compatible glue gun and allow the gun to reach its operating temperature before applying. Press the trigger to advance the stick and apply a continuous bead of molten adhesive to one of the surfaces to be joined. Briefly press the parts together while the adhesive is still tacky; full handling strength is reached as the glue cools. For best results on vertical or overhead surfaces, apply smaller beads and allow short set times between additions. Use in well-ventilated areas and avoid skin contact with hot adhesive.

Usage recommendations

For decorative applications, test on a scrap piece to confirm the metallic appearance after cooling and to verify compatibility with the substrate. Use a glue gun with temperature control when working with heat-sensitive materials. Store sticks in a dry place away from direct sunlight to maintain consistent melting behaviour.
