I don't usually use hot glue on a regular basis, but sometimes hot glue would be more appropriate. I've found that hot glue works well when I need temporary glue, like adding clamps to hold odd-shaped objects. I have found that temporary glue works well for this application. It has also been found that this glue is better suited for indoor creative projects. One of the best uses for this adhesive is to insulate and hold wires and electronic components in place during electronics repair and assembly. Keeps components in place and wires from fraying in high-vibration environments. This glue is great for this purpose and is a pretty standard hot glue application. For my use this is a 10 year supply at a reasonable price.
