If you're used to the poor performance of regular glue guns and glue sticks, you'll be glued to the effectiveness of this glue and of course itself. Pistol/Weapon required to use it. This adhesive requires a really reliable gun to heat up and apply the adhesive, but the strength of the bond between concrete and wood floor, or the bond that is formed between wood and wood, is nothing short of amazing. I read that some contractors use this to stick strips of tape on it and then stretch carpet over those strips and thought maybe they are stretching the truth but according to their reviews this adhesive system has the power to stick many items that every previous glue and every previous pistol I wouldn't have considered that at all. Hot glue from a gun will give you about 2.5 minutes to work and place the item before it hardens. Full curing takes about 4 minutes. Excellent stuff
