My glue gun is one of my most used DIY tools. I use so often that it pretty much just lives on my kitchen counter. And no, I’m not proud of that fact.
With all of the various projects I use it on, it ends up getting gunky. Between the glue itself and the rest of the supplies I use, like glitter or feathers, a lot of stuff gets stuck to the tip of the glue gun.
Okay, so there’s dog hair stuck in there, too. When you have a long haired white dog, there’s dog hair stuck in everything. And when you have gunky glue, glitter and dog hair, you have to figure out how to clean a glue gun.
To keep my glue gun clean so that the gunk doesn’t get onto each new project, I occasionally use this high-tech, new fangled contraption – a ball of aluminum foil.
