Make New Glue Sticks from Used Hot Glue

If you use hot glue, there is a chance you waste some of it.

Dripping glue gun is probably the biggest reason for the waste.

We also waste the glue on projects that don't work out the way we want.

In this video Instructable, I show you a simple way to collect and melt the used glue to make new glue sticks.

What's needed:

Make sure the silicone can withstand temperatures up to 200°C (392°F)

Search for "moka funnel" in eBay, Amazon etc.

  • 2 x Aluminium Foil Tubes
  • Cork
  • Large Needle
  • Popsickle Stick
  • Hot glue
