I use these with a DeWalt glue gun and have had fantastic success. I generally use them to make/glue custom shipping boxes. The gluing is always very good if you put some pressure on the cardboard within 5-10 seconds after gluing. The hot glue will hold long enough to seal the pouches and glue the flaps. Bigger/longer poles make life easier. I'll say one thing: if you're using a gun that uses friction feed, you'll probably want to wash each wand with soap and water before using it. in the gun (this improves the grip of the gun and the feed when the new rod is first inserted). The glue sticks seem to have some kind of very soft coating on the surface that is a bit slippery. However, it helps a lot to wash it off before use. When I first started using these sticks they didn't fit well in the gun. But since they did the laundry trick, they've been working great ever since.
