Most of the points that this poster made are valid and I usually do not re-post on another persons points, but I think that is important for you to discover the benefits of Hot Glue. Jerry introduced me to Hot Glue and it has become my friend. ( now I don't need Jerry anymore LOL )
Hot glue does not sand, at all. But, as Larry said, it can easily be removed with a razor knife, where it is most difficult to get around any kind of resin adhesive. It does set up fast and that is it's benefit to you. Put it on and in a few seconds you can go about your work. If you get it hot enough before applying it, and it will penetrate the foam, if that is what you want. The purpose is not to seal, protect, or make any kind of permanent bond. It is more like a flexible clamp that can be applied anywhere and either burried in the work or easily removed. There is an example of using this at: http://kr-builder.org/Aileron/index.html Dan (original message) I have had little luck with hot melt glue. It doesn't sand well, it sets up to fast, it doesnt protect the wood at the glue joint and it will not penetrate the foam.
