Usage recommendations

Use on clean, dry surfaces for best adhesion. For delicate materials, test glue compatibility and apply in small amounts to avoid visible residue. Always follow basic safety precautions: work in a well-ventilated area, avoid skin contact with molten glue, and keep the hot nozzle away from flammable materials. Allow sufficient cooling time before changing glue sticks or storing the tool.
