    How long do you think that's going to last come on now crazy I mean hot glue hot glue barely holds on some of the crafts that you do make and I know that I'm Crafter and I have to put some of the crazy glue with my hot glue in order for them to endure longer

      If you're hot glue doesn't hold well maybe you're not applying enough or you're using a very cheap hot glue you could get the gorilla hot glue sticks they work great or you could use E6000 and hot glue that works wonderfully

  • @magpie92766
    @magpie92766 Год назад +5

    Many of you are complaining about hot glue not holding up in the weather. There are construction grade hot glue sticks that will work. Acrylic hot glue shouldn't become brittle in the cold. Gorilla Glue has lasted in -16 degs in some instances. Do some research online & you might find something suitable for your needs.

    Some practical hacks to prepare for the inflation and depression coming after the Christmas: Limit unnecessary spending, Pay attention to your health, Invest and spread your assets and while at it, always make correct inquiries so you don't throw your money in the wind or better still, get the services of an expert (that way, you give little room for error). Been using these for 2 years now and finally made up to a million. I may be prepared, are you? or you want to completely empty your reserves this Christmas?

    • @chriswilliams2061
      @chriswilliams2061 Год назад +3

      Amazing approach though a bit extreme... You mentioned getting assets and using
      pros, if its not a problem. do you mind telling which asset type, if you used one or recommending a good one? Been thinking about doing something lately... I look forward to you

    I love that these are actual hacks in the sense that they're a cost-saving version of what you can buy pre-made at the store! Inflation hits hard and so many 'hacks' either don't work or end up costing more, so this video was a refreshing change of pace.
    The flowerpot tomato cage trees at 0:28, metal bowl bells at 5:24, stack of gifts at 5:40, giant ball ornaments at 6:04, ornament wreath at 7:08, arches at 7:30 were my favorites

You could put a little dab here and there to hold things together while the other adhesive dries, but not alone. It doesn’t do well in the heat or the cold. Smh

    Hot glue only lasts a short time. I wish I could find an easy way to hang lights on brick in IL/IN winters!

    Hot glue will probably fall off when it gets dewy or cold

    I would never trust hot glue to hold outdoor lights.

    Where I live, the winter wind would really mess up the outside decorations.

      I was thinking the same thing! Watching her decorate outside in just shirt sleeves.... Must be nice. We are expecting below 0 temps and the usual 25 mph winds this weekend.
      Oh, well. Nice ideas for inside decorations though.

    For a split second at 2:00 in I literally thought she had someone dressed as a storm troop on the driveway. 😂

    I Would not recommend using hot glue on wires it’s not very safe.
