I like your video's. But this test method is rubbish. Some test you increase the tension fast and with some slow. Hot glue stays a little bit soft so it will release with half the tension if you wait a few seconds...
Hey thanks for the video. I use hot glue everyday repairing carpentry joints. Would love to see how it holds up against regular wood glue and or PL premium type adhesive. Thanks again!
I'm doing that now. This man's approach to real product testing without bias opinion is fantastic. Shoot, I'm buying things based on his testing just to have around before the manufacture gets wind of his testing and ups their prices. Thank you for the work you do.

I just want to say you do a Fantastic job with all of your videos i watch every single one and your test are always well presented, Have a great day everyone.
Was just going to comment that, I've avoided using it in many cases because i thought it wasn't very strong and wouldn't last. I'll probably use it next time after seeing this video.
The cabinetshop I work at uses 3m hot glue all the time to put cabinets together but I will definitely have to give surebonder 220 watt glue guns a try because 3m glue sticks are expensive. The hot glue works way better than wood glue when your doing particleboard and sometimes plywood now for the face frame which is where all hardwoods are used we do use wood glue.
@@MicroageHD Agree that professional testing is at another level, but he's doing a fine job given the resources he has. He's around Mythbusters' typical level of testing, which is just fine.
I never really thought of hot glue as being a proper strong glue, this has really changed my mind, i am getting a glue gun. thanks for the fantastic videos.
Man you are a hidden gem. You really go out of your way to do these testing.Multiple samples for each product, tries to eliminate as much unknowns, even bought 5 hot glue guns to prevent glue cross contamination; furthermore, video records, narrates and does calculus for us all with clarity. Trust me I see you hard work you put in as I a biomedical engineer who had to do a lot of tedious testing. Keep it up I love your videos.
Agreed but as most glues don't bind to pvc it's likely designed to work with pvc. Either way it's kind of nice to know a glue that will work with pvc to that extent.
Oh for sure, pricepoint and quality way up there with Stanley stuff. I can vouch for Stanley hot glue eyes closed. With a couple of friends we wondered if you could keep a car's body panels attached for long periods of time using nothing but hot glue. So we assembled a Kia POP that way (we even closed shut the hood) and that car ran for 4 years under heavy abuse until the engine gave up.
My wife also calls you the lawnmower guy. AvE is known as the dick in vice guy. ToT as the machineshop guy, and the blokes from Project Binky, as the binky boys.
@@ProjectFarm I'm not sure if my wife has made correlation to you yet vicariously she's learned who Schrodinger's Box (automotive diagnostic master) Scotty Kilmer (She likes his energy), but if I talk about blowing up lawn mowers maybe she'll catch up. Lol
He only tested very short-term loading for ~2 seconds. They all will fail at 1/10th and below the numbers PF got if you just leave 1/10th of the load on there for more than a few seconds. Just think about it this way: If you hit the test pieced with a hamer, nothig is going to happen. But at the moment of impact the force is much bigger than everything we saw in this test. But very short (aka dynamic) loads are simply not comparable to constant loads.
@@leocurious9919 These were also tested in the most ideal conditions possible with perfectly clean, perfectly fit components. A lot of hot glue applications involve random, uncleaned things mashed together.
That is correct as the one your son made is American made! Not done by third world sub contractors who cut every corner to make their lives easier. Remember folks these are the one who construct the buildings and homes that every time a high wind or heavy rain comes through. That all their work is completely leveled.
Your no B.S. testing is much appreciated. Please keep assembling these interesting and investigative videos. As consumers it sure is nice to see exactly what our hard earned dollars are actually buying these days. Awhile back I purchased a package of Gorilla Glue-Sticks on Amazon; since the product had the "Amazon's Choice" endorsement I was influenced by Amazon's endorsement. Thank you for the show-me demonstration on which products actually measure up!
Thank You for always taking criticism well and improving your test techniques with every new video. Next year you'll practically be an accredited testing facility.
I've noticed consistently through your videos that despite the consistent name recognition gorilla glue products tend to be less effective than cheaper products with lower name recognition and it has helped me make better informed decisions thank you
2 things are required. Correct temperature of the adhesive at application, too low and it wont bond properly because the bonding agents wont be activated , too hot and those agents will actually get burnt and not work correctly at all. The second is sufficient pressure to cause the adhesive to go into the surfaces to be bonded. Too little pressure and the adhesive just sits and cools at the surface and doesn't actually grab a hold of anything. There are many different industrial hot glues that make this stuff look like little kids' paste.
Even if the strength is the same in some instances, you have to consider the fact that the hot melt glues are going to lose their strength at certain temperatures. Maybe when they get cold, they won't hold as well. Obviously, if they get too warm, they are going to get weaker. And if the load on them comes at an angle, the attachment is weakened. I tried making a license plate mount for the inside of my windshield that consisted of four 1/4" bolts (1/2" long) that were mounted to the glass by hot melt glue. The heads of the bolts had been surfaced on a lathe to remove the markings and to give a uniform surface. They did not stay attached very long and I eventually switched to small suction cups. These might come lose a couple of times each year, but it's a simple matter to reattach them. I mount the front license plate inside the glass where the rear view mirror is located on my Jeep because it blocks the sun that is not blocked by pulling down the sun visors.
not really, over time of heat vs cold normal hot glue changes structure and will release from smooth surfaces. HOWEVER, there are High temp glue guns in the 400degree F heat range, which I wish was tested as well.
Stanley used to have a bad name so they changed their name when it came to tools. DeWalt. Which I love DeWalt tools and might not have bought them if I knew it was Stanley at the time. There must have been a management change at Stanley.
Hot glue performance highly depends on the surface temperature on which you are applying it to. A layer applied to a surface hot enough to melt the glue on his own will be 10 times as durable as a normal application on a cold surface. Of course cleanliness and roughness matters too. I use it to pull out dents. If you get the surface hot and you put the sticks on it to melt it is incredible how strong it can be.
Same. I always carefully prep the surfaces and clean using a solvent. I then preheat the item using a heat gun. The glue flows better and (I believe) makes better contact at a smaller level leveling itself on the surface. The downside is that it takes longer for the bond to set.
I’m literally trying to use a PDR dent puller kit and i have to buy glue sticks because what came in the kit SUCKS. Now i’ll try to hit my panels with a heat gun before I lay the glue. What glue sticks do you recommend??
I have seen a few videos on pdr. I found it interesting that there are hot glues with different amounts of pull strength. Those guys can decide if they want to pull a small dent or "pull your doors off".
Thanks, Todd! This is a really great video! A technique that I use when screwing 2 boards together is to drill a hole in the top board just large enough for the screw to pass through. This ensures that the screw only screws into the bottom board and the pieces pull tight. Without the hole, the screw threads into both pieces, sometimes leaving a thread or two between the two that can’t be tightened out.
The time you take, the money you spend is unbelievable, I can see you do get some people that are not happy with you're videos, but just remember, there are us that love you're videos , we thank you so much for these videos!! I would never say you're not doing the video wright. You just keep doing what you do. You help so many people. I thank you for that!!!
Gearwrench! I've seen them a lot, but never known anyone to own any of their tools. I got a set of their impact sockets for Christmas and would like to know more about the durability.
@@ProjectFarm Definitely would like to see Craftsman, Husky and HF, maybe even Snap On it isn't too expensive. Wasn't there a new brand Home Depot started carrying recently too?
Great video from Project Farm as always! I watched this video about 4 months ago, until then I thought hot glue was strictly for gluing pinecones together for holiday decorations, haha. I own a custom woodworking shop and I use my hot glue gun practically every day now. From making light duty custom jigs fast, holding things together till I can get some screws in, and making cardboard boxes to ship my finished products. I really had NO idea how strong this stuff was. Thanks!!
Same! I'm undoing the stigma of hot glue from my days gluing popsicle sticks together in preschool! I was extremely surprised, especially at the tensile test!
@@ThePrufessa I really dont remember it's been so long. I would say it was one of the more pricey ones but cheaper than Berkley at the time. Got it from Walmart
Great video as usual Todd. It's good to see that you are getting some recognition and air time on regular TV. Hopefully you're getting a decent amount of money for the show on MotorTrend.
... it happened to my hand while misoperating a hot melt applicator hose ... didn't have a camera to record it, but won't do it again ... cure is to apply cold water immediately and DO NOT try to remove hot glue from skin ... leave it until it gets loose by itself (after a few days)
Hot damn, I've always been under the impression that hot glue is a pretty weak adhesive. I never really thought or trusted that it was capable of holding more than maybe ~5lbs, but your testing clearly and definitively demonstrates that it can be literally hundreds of times stronger than I would have ever imagined. The wood tensile strength results and even the Stanley PVC results were really quite astonishing, my mind was blown 🤯 I've never enjoyed being so wrong about something, amazing work as always! 👍👍
Does anyone else keep a note file with all the winners in their phone so when they shop they can remember what to buy? This guy does. Great job PF, you make the world a better place one little project at a time.
Today is 1/16/22. I appreciate the work you have done here. This looks to me easily 32 hours of work. These kind of comparisons are vitally important..... Thank You very much....
Honestly, a video on paint brands wouldn't be too bad of an idea... Behr vs Glidden vs Valspar vs Sherwin Williams vs Benjamin Moore vs Dutch Boy vs ColorPlace. An all out shoot-out comparing coverage, drying time, durability, value, and maybe even fading...
Evan Ganske especially those new varnish paints where they say it only takes one coat but it can somehow do the work of three coats. That’d be a great comparison
You testing out stuff is so much fun and interestings I could literally watch a video of you "how fast does paint dry" and I would still click on the video great job like always Todd!
What a fantastic video. Clear, concise, and the variables were minimized to provide the most accurate results. #ConsumerReports should hire you as a tester.
@@ProjectFarm Do you know a cleaning agent against such a kind of verdigris on engine blocks made of aluminum? Because I have a Honda cy 50 and I want to bring the engine to shine again. Thanks🤗
@@nicoklinginger1477 Nichts funktioniert besser nach meiner Meinung als Sandpapier zum polieren. Glanz zurückzubringen ist nie einfach. Grüße aus Texas!
It would be nice to see a hot glue experiment for various crafting materials, too - especially cardboard and foam board. Many crafters use these materials to create diy's in a pinch due to their versatility and ease of use (ie small card/foam board organizers, storage containers, pet furniture, etc ).
I use hot glue for pulling dents on my vehicles (released easily with Isopropyl Alcohol). Didn't realize how much the different brands vary in tensile strength. Something to bear in mind! Great test as usual!
That was a lot of work for , So thank you. You have saved so much money for us by your fair testing. Especially with product quality going downhill these days. IMO
Great Video. It has been my experience that sometimes a hot melt bond can be improved by heating the material you are gluing together, as hot as is reasonably possible. Sometimes it makes a large difference in how well it sticks.
This is truly a scientific, quantitative test that yielded meaningful results, rarely seen on RUclips. The information yielded is valuable and the results irrefutable. Definitely worth watching and a thumbs up! No bullshit or inane advertisement. The kind of video we all yearn for but seldom find. Thank you for all the time, energy, and expense for this outstanding video!
I wonder how these hot glues would hold up after a year of being left alone under various environmental conditions? Such as hot or cold, dry or humid, inside or outside, dark room or sunlit room. Also I noticed someone else in the comments say they wished that high temperature hot glues had been tested as well. Maybe we can get a separate video for those? Thanks for all the hard work and thanks for always listening! 👍
As long as it’s something I only use indoors? Years. But exposed to rain or extreme temps variations? The bond weakens. Although the glue as a filler stays good
That greatly depends on what the material you have used. For instance, hot gluing fabric to wood, or to fabric - the bond is amazingly strong. As a general rule, gluing items to wood makes a very strong bond. I built a miniature lizard enclosure for some cool hard rubber lizards I found. The only glue that would hold the acrylic to the wood structure, without off gassing potentially fogging the interior, was hot glue. That was roughly 5 years ago. It has seen suffocating heat, high humidity, and cold to down around 45F. Still holding strong.
I agree, porous materials are fine, but plastics present a problem over time. I once glued TV cable to the baseboard, to hold it in place. In about 2 weeks, it all just let go. I called the glue stick company to complain and they said certain plastics (like TV cable) will “off gas” or leach chemicals over time and make the glue let go. Sure don’t remember seeing that on the packaging !
@@awesomecvl The problem is that they don't even try to innovate. They follow the market trends and are slow to react when they change. They have too much management which, in my opinion, is too restrictive on their vehicle designers. They've had a lot of cars that could have been great had management not ruined them, especially from the 80's to the early '00s, leading up to their bailout. It seems to me that they sell to a group of people who don't consider anything but GM and are willing to overlook any faults because of it. No unlike most fca buyers.
Just recently discovered this channel; thanks to this showing up in my recommendations. PF is my new favorite channel and I seriously doubt I will buy any tools without watching his tests. Well done and keep it up!!!
Your meticulous adherence to scientific method and good testing procedures (especially controlling for confounding variables) is amazing. This stuff takes a lot of time to do correctly! Great job and keep up the good work :)
The amount of work that goes into these tests is incredible. And to film and edit a video on top is just astounding. He is clearly a breed of motivation person who gets shit done.
You should do a video about whether gasoline stations with supposed cleaning property in there fuels are actually worth it and if they do clean engines and which is the better gas brand, or if their just the same as other regular gas station with non of those advertisements. (Like BP with invigorate, Citgo with TriClean,Mobile with Synergy, Shell with V-power Nitro, Etc)
It's all the same gasoline. You never see different trucks for different octane level. I have observed one truck fill several tanks at the service station.
Hot Melt Glues usually come in 2 different types, Polyamide and Polyolefin. Some adhere better to certain materials than others. If you are not getting a good bond, try a different type.
Nice video. I didn't learn much from the tests on wood joints, I used some hot glue about 40 years ago on some framing for a wall I was putting in to divide my basement. I don't remember what brand it was, but 40 years later, that framework was still together and we ended up sawing it into pieces as the glue was still holding it all together. We also used it to attach carpet to the lower part of a wall, and even 40 years later, a blob of it the size of a quarter was able to hold over 400 pounds (both a friend and I were hanging from it without it showing the slightest sign of tearing loose) with ease. The Stanley's performance on PVC was shocking, and it will be the brand I buy from this point forward. I had given up using hot glue on PVC a long time ago.
Is there possibly a false result due to the wood ripping apart? Even though you used the same boards, the grain looks different from test to test. The Stanley though seemed to be the best overall! Thank you for your work!
That is a GREAT idea. My rearview mirror keeps falling off. I've used two different adhesives designed for the application and it lasts about a week each time.
*_You save me hours and hours of trying to figure this out myself since I do use a lot of hot glue and always wondered which one was really better. Thank You._*
Thank you very much and great point on the impact temperature exposure would have on the glue. I have hot glued the glass tubes onto wood for the next round of oil test videos and have exposed them to -40C / -40F and they've held up just fine.
@@isaakwelch3451 just what my family has always done. We do the same with candles supposedly it does make the candles last longer but my family has no evidence to back any of that up.
Is anyone else super surprised at how strong hot glue in general is? I thought most would have failed at or near 200 to 300 lbs. Once again you taught all of us something rather crazy but true

The hot glue works way better than wood glue when your doing particleboard and sometimes plywood now for the face frame which is where all hardwoods are used we do use wood glue.
It's unreal how professional your video production and testing environment is!! Keep it up dude 👏👏
Thank you very much!
I dont want to hate but professional experimenting is on a whole other level.
@@MicroageHD Agree that professional testing is at another level, but he's doing a fine job given the resources he has. He's around Mythbusters' typical level of testing, which is just fine.
I never really thought of hot glue as being a proper strong glue, this has really changed my mind, i am getting a glue gun. thanks for the fantastic videos.
Thank you!
I agree ! I never really considered a hot glue gun until NOW ! Cheers from Canada ! Polar Bear country.
ha , no wonder hot glue always fail me , there are bad glues out there
I have a glue gun and some elmers glue sticks I had no idea they could do this well I used them for some flightest,foamboard airplanes
I have tended to use it when I want to be able to unglue it in the microwave
Man you are a hidden gem. You really go out of your way to do these testing.Multiple samples for each product, tries to eliminate as much unknowns, even bought 5 hot glue guns to prevent glue cross contamination; furthermore, video records, narrates and does calculus for us all with clarity. Trust me I see you hard work you put in as I a biomedical engineer who had to do a lot of tedious testing. Keep it up I love your videos.
Thanks, will do.
The Stanley PVC results were very impressive. It's what I'll be buying next time for sure.
Great work as always on the tests.
Thank you!
Agreed but as most glues don't bind to pvc it's likely designed to work with pvc. Either way it's kind of nice to know a glue that will work with pvc to that extent.
Oh for sure, pricepoint and quality way up there with Stanley stuff.
I can vouch for Stanley hot glue eyes closed. With a couple of friends we wondered if you could keep a car's body panels attached for long periods of time using nothing but hot glue. So we assembled a Kia POP that way (we even closed shut the hood) and that car ran for 4 years under heavy abuse until the engine gave up.

From my experience with hot glue. I was not expecting to see any results over 3-4lbs.
Thank you for the feedback. I didn't expect such impressive performance either
Probably depends on the materials being glued.
He only tested very short-term loading for ~2 seconds. They all will fail at 1/10th and below the numbers PF got if you just leave 1/10th of the load on there for more than a few seconds. Just think about it this way: If you hit the test pieced with a hamer, nothig is going to happen. But at the moment of impact the force is much bigger than everything we saw in this test. But very short (aka dynamic) loads are simply not comparable to constant loads.
@@leocurious9919 These were also tested in the most ideal conditions possible with perfectly clean, perfectly fit components. A lot of hot glue applications involve random, uncleaned things mashed together.
@@LagMasterSam Temperature also play a very important role in hot glue bonds. Too cold: they snap. Too hot: they melt.

I never thought I would watch a comparison of hot glues - but I stuck with it, and it was entertaining
Thank you very much!
I've noticed consistently through your videos that despite the consistent name recognition gorilla glue products tend to be less effective than cheaper products with lower name recognition and it has helped me make better informed decisions thank you
You are welcome! Thanks for sharing
Yup. That's why advertising works for sales even it the product isn't the true leader in quality and performance. Sad but true.
I never got anything to stick with hot glue, yet this guy manages to pull 1000lb with it.
you have to wait for it to dry
Correct temperature glue gun is a must, not all sticks are made to work with the same temperature.
2 things are required. Correct temperature of the adhesive at application, too low and it wont bond properly because the bonding agents wont be activated , too hot and those agents will actually get burnt and not work correctly at all. The second is sufficient pressure to cause the adhesive to go into the surfaces to be bonded. Too little pressure and the adhesive just sits and cools at the surface and doesn't actually grab a hold of anything. There are many different industrial hot glues that make this stuff look like little kids' paste.
@@madambullshizky you
rough it up a bit with some sandpaper first.
@@saber-jocky3436 status: glue master
So what you're saying is we should be using hot glue instead of construction adhesive.
Yes
Even if the strength is the same in some instances, you have to consider the fact that the hot melt glues are going to lose their strength at certain temperatures. Maybe when they get cold, they won't hold as well. Obviously, if they get too warm, they are going to get weaker. And if the load on them comes at an angle, the attachment is weakened.
I tried making a license plate mount for the inside of my windshield that consisted of four 1/4" bolts (1/2" long) that were mounted to the glass by hot melt glue. The heads of the bolts had been surfaced on a lathe to remove the markings and to give a uniform surface. They did not stay attached very long and I eventually switched to small suction cups. These might come lose a couple of times each year, but it's a simple matter to reattach them. I mount the front license plate inside the glass where the rear view mirror is located on my Jeep because it blocks the sun that is not blocked by pulling down the sun visors.
@@CurmudgeonExtraordinaire JB Weld Epoxy is best for glass....As tested by Project Farm.
not really, over time of heat vs cold normal hot glue changes structure and will release from smooth surfaces. HOWEVER, there are High temp glue guns in the 400degree F heat range, which I wish was tested as well.
Hot glue may set too fast for sure applications. But there use is more then just art deco.
Stanley dominated where I need it, I know what kind of glue I'm keeping in my drawer.
I agree! I'll be reaching for the Stanley for the next project too
Agreed. I love the Stanley glue sticks
Right, who would have guessed freaking stanley would win one?
Stanley used to have a bad name so they changed their name when it came to tools. DeWalt. Which I love DeWalt tools and might not have bought them if I knew it was Stanley at the time. There must have been a management change at Stanley.
@@mcdonaldsmaniac Not me!
News you can USE! Stanley is the way to go........ Nice job PF. Patreon this channel people!!!!!!!
Thank you very much!
This is one of the first two channels I'd patreon if I had money.
@9600GTMAN honestly the folote did it better than any other. Even blew stanley away in the tensile strength test.
Hot glue performance highly depends on the surface temperature on which you are applying it to. A layer applied to a surface hot enough to melt the glue on his own will be 10 times as durable as a normal application on a cold surface. Of course cleanliness and roughness matters too. I use it to pull out dents. If you get the surface hot and you put the sticks on it to melt it is incredible how strong it can be.
Same. I always carefully prep the surfaces and clean using a solvent. I then preheat the item using a heat gun. The glue flows better and (I believe) makes better contact at a smaller level leveling itself on the surface. The downside is that it takes longer for the bond to set.
Thank you for this tip really appreciate!
my unbranded glue stick wasn't even able to stick two pieces of cardboard together . there are too many miracle hot glue videos
I’m literally trying to use a PDR dent puller kit and i have to buy glue sticks because what came in the kit SUCKS. Now i’ll try to hit my panels with a heat gun before I lay the glue. What glue sticks do you recommend??
If your gonna use that stuff to pull dents out of a vehicle, don't use Stanley (you weren't supposed to pull the bloody doors off)
Great recommendation!
I have seen a few videos on pdr. I found it interesting that there are hot glues with different amounts of pull strength. Those guys can decide if they want to pull a small dent or "pull your doors off".
Haha The Caine
Oh snap , I know how to pull dents out of my old ford now , thanks .
So can regular hot glue be used for pdr
Thanks, Todd! This is a really great video! A technique that I use when screwing 2 boards together is to drill a hole in the top board just large enough for the screw to pass through. This ensures that the screw only screws into the bottom board and the pieces pull tight. Without the hole, the screw threads into both pieces, sometimes leaving a thread or two between the two that can’t be tightened out.
Thanks for sharing.

Great video from Project Farm as always! I watched this video about 4 months ago, until then I thought hot glue was strictly for gluing pinecones together for holiday decorations, haha. I own a custom woodworking shop and I use my hot glue gun practically every day now. From making light duty custom jigs fast, holding things together till I can get some screws in, and making cardboard boxes to ship my finished products. I really had NO idea how strong this stuff was. Thanks!!

Great video as usual Todd. It's good to see that you are getting some recognition and air time on regular TV. Hopefully you're getting a decent amount of money for the show on MotorTrend.

lol. Great point!
... it happened to my hand while misoperating a hot melt applicator hose ... didn't have a camera to record it, but won't do it again ... cure is to apply cold water immediately and DO NOT try to remove hot glue from skin ... leave it until it gets loose by itself (after a few days)
@@CarlTomasAlley Why not take it off as soon as it cools? I've never experienced it acting like tar
@@savagetuner2404 ... if you try to remove it as it cools, your skin will come off stuck to the glue ... my father did it
@@CarlTomasAlley I'm guessing higher temp stuff than what I'm using
Hot damn, I've always been under the impression that hot glue is a pretty weak adhesive. I never really thought or trusted that it was capable of holding more than maybe ~5lbs, but your testing clearly and definitively demonstrates that it can be literally hundreds of times stronger than I would have ever imagined. The wood tensile strength results and even the Stanley PVC results were really quite astonishing, my mind was blown 🤯
I've never enjoyed being so wrong about something, amazing work as always! 👍👍
Thanks so much!
I've started to use hot glue for interior car projects because of how strong it is. It's also easy to peel any excess away

Thanks!
Only you could make an interesting video about glue.
You could make a video about paint drying and I'll watch it.

Honestly, a video on paint brands wouldn't be too bad of an idea... Behr vs Glidden vs Valspar vs Sherwin Williams vs Benjamin Moore vs Dutch Boy vs ColorPlace. An all out shoot-out comparing coverage, drying time, durability, value, and maybe even fading...
Evan Ganske also PPG
Evan Ganske especially those new varnish paints where they say it only takes one coat but it can somehow do the work of three coats. That’d be a great comparison
Paolo Rozo yup I just bought a PPG paint that was supposed to be one coat but we did like two

It would be nice to see a hot glue experiment for various crafting materials, too - especially cardboard and foam board. Many crafters use these materials to create diy's in a pinch due to their versatility and ease of use (ie small card/foam board organizers, storage containers, pet furniture, etc ).
Thanks for the suggestion.

Thank you!
Great Video. It has been my experience that sometimes a hot melt bond can be improved by heating the material you are gluing together, as hot as is reasonably possible. Sometimes it makes a large difference in how well it sticks.
Thanks for the feedback.
This is truly a scientific, quantitative test that yielded meaningful results, rarely seen on RUclips. The information yielded is valuable and the results irrefutable. Definitely worth watching and a thumbs up! No bullshit or inane advertisement. The kind of video we all yearn for but seldom find. Thank you for all the time, energy, and expense for this outstanding video!
Thanks so much!
I wonder how these hot glues would hold up after a year of being left alone under various environmental conditions? Such as hot or cold, dry or humid, inside or outside, dark room or sunlit room. Also I noticed someone else in the comments say they wished that high temperature hot glues had been tested as well. Maybe we can get a separate video for those? Thanks for all the hard work and thanks for always listening! 👍
You are welcome! Thanks for the video idea.
I have found they don’t hold up over time at all. Just for craft projects .
As long as it’s something I only use indoors? Years.
But exposed to rain or extreme temps variations? The bond weakens. Although the glue as a filler stays good
That greatly depends on what the material you have used. For instance, hot gluing fabric to wood, or to fabric - the bond is amazingly strong. As a general rule, gluing items to wood makes a very strong bond. I built a miniature lizard enclosure for some cool hard rubber lizards I found. The only glue that would hold the acrylic to the wood structure, without off gassing potentially fogging the interior, was hot glue. That was roughly 5 years ago. It has seen suffocating heat, high humidity, and cold to down around 45F. Still holding strong.
I agree, porous materials are fine, but plastics present a problem over time. I once glued TV cable to the baseboard, to hold it in place. In about 2 weeks, it all just let go. I called the glue stick company to complain and they said certain plastics (like TV cable) will “off gas” or leach chemicals over time and make the glue let go.
Sure don’t remember seeing that on the packaging !
This guy doesn't need to be on a farm. He needs to be testing products and chemicals to help GM make a better car

@@ozzykrahn806 OR maybe people would buy their cars and they wouldnt need to be bailed out by the US gov again 🤔
@@awesomecvl The problem is that they don't even try to innovate. They follow the market trends and are slow to react when they change. They have too much management which, in my opinion, is too restrictive on their vehicle designers. They've had a lot of cars that could have been great had management not ruined them, especially from the 80's to the early '00s, leading up to their bailout. It seems to me that they sell to a group of people who don't consider anything but GM and are willing to overlook any faults because of it. No unlike most fca buyers.

Its amazing how inconsistent all the same type of glue sticks are on all the tests.
You should do a video about whether gasoline stations with supposed cleaning property in there fuels are actually worth it and if they do clean engines and which is the better gas brand, or if their just the same as other regular gas station with non of those advertisements.

Hot Melt Glues usually come in 2 different types, Polyamide and Polyolefin. Some adhere better to certain materials than others. If you are not getting a good bond, try a different type.
Thanks for the feedback.
Which one is best for pulling out dents on vehicles with clear coat?
Another great test! (And an expensive one for you!). Was wondering what brand the glue gun was...it looks like a quality piece. Thank again PF!
Nice video. I didn't learn much from the tests on wood joints, I used some hot glue about 40 years ago on some framing for a wall I was putting in to divide my basement. I don't remember what brand it was, but 40 years later, that framework was still together and we ended up sawing it into pieces as the glue was still holding it all together. We also used it to attach carpet to the lower part of a wall, and even 40 years later, a blob of it the size of a quarter was able to hold over 400 pounds (both a friend and I were hanging from it without it showing the slightest sign of tearing loose) with ease. The Stanley's performance on PVC was shocking, and it will be the brand I buy from this point forward. I had given up using hot glue on PVC a long time ago.
Is there possibly a false result due to the wood ripping apart? Even though you used the same boards, the grain looks different from test to test.
The Stanley though seemed to be the best overall!
Thank you for your work!
Also just gave me another idea: glass adhesives!
Thank you for the video idea!
That is a GREAT idea. My rearview mirror keeps falling off. I've used two different adhesives designed for the application and it lasts about a week each time.
For some reason I really like parts where the host reads claims on packaging :D
